    Circuit de Catalunya (aka Barcelona GP Circuit):

    Valencia

    Much of Spain seems to have VERY high quality pics so these three look fab.

    It's buried under a pile of muscle cars.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Wow, Google have excelled themselves

    Takign the image you gave the link for I've added that as an overlay on the earth map.
    Took a couple of minutes to get hte scale and position right, but it is awesome.

    So, if you CAN find hi-res detailed images of the tracks you can add them on.
    Just go "Add".. "Image Overlay" .. include the image and it appears. Then you have to paly with the overlay image size. See http://www.keyhole.com/GoogleEarthHelp/GoogleEarth.htm for help on it and FULL isntructions. Nice

    Wouter, how about letting us post .kms files ? Then we can add overlays, images and locations with a LOT less hassle ?? I've put the Laguna Seca one at my site you'll need the kmz file and the image file ( I think ) try it and see
    It's not clear if the image is kept in that kmz file or not. You may have to put the image on your desktop. Try it, it's neat ( oh god I'm going nerdy )

    Another wee test.
    Someone load up this kmz file and see if you get a folder with a handful of tracks in it ?
    If you do we'll make up a tracks folder to share and will repost.

    keep sending the tracks
