Question

as the title says, is there a game available for the PS2 or PC which has the castle coombe circuit on it.

I'm doing my first trackday at japfest and wanted to get to know the track before i do it for real

cheers

Chris...Castle Coombe is a great circuit. Used to race mini's there.

You will have a blast.

Sorry but I can't answer you question.

Chris - You should be attending a drivers briefing. Listen very carefully to them. Take it EASY to begin with then build your speed gradually.

Be careful on the brakes at Avon Rise towards Quarry (Depends on vehicle), and enjoy the chicanes!

Oh yeah, mind your back. Unlike other circuits if something is gaining fast indicate to the LEFT and let them past - As per the road.

Castle Coombe are getting very good at letting far too many cars out at once, so don't be afraid to find yourself some space at the back if it's your first time.

Squizz.

Edited to add - I've got TOCA2, but it doesn't have Castle Coombe. Don't know of anything that does.

I have a copy of the Motorsport News UK Circuit Guide

Great book and I will bring it on the day

I believe you can also buy a DVD for each circuit

try www.circuitguides.com

I used to play Grand Prix 3 and the likes quite a lot. And I know for sure that people used to create tracks like that for the game.

Could be worth checking out something like that?

Grand Prix Legends

I doubt you'll find better than that. It mentions it in there, so there has to be a track for it.

When you turn up Nigel Smith (i think ) will give you all the info you need in the briefing Look at norris designs for a video of the whole track

Sports Car GT (available remaindered for £4.99) has a thriving community and they have produced a nice version of Combe.

Watch out for Quarry! I left my exhaust there many moons ago!

If you try it on GPL don't forget there have been chicanes added since. The GPL track was done for the 60's.

Cheers
