    here's one for tomorrow!
    I'll add for completeness that the short angled white lines/stripes along the pitlane are where the cars are positioned for the old-style Le Mans start. Also for the couple of years when they stopped the running component (as seen in the movie), and before they switched to rolling starts.
    The car's centre-line is aligned with the stripes, not between the stripes like in a car park.

    Le Grand Circuit 1967 uses the stationary angled start

    More like aircraft parking than car parking.

    Only one person has ever asked for this, and it was about 8 years ago.
    But I wanted it too, and there is now a disproportionate weight off my shoulders.
    It's the Longford railway station!
    Considering it's about 50m away from the road edge in an area most people don't look, I tried to go easy on the details.

    For anyone who likes to do sick jumps with at least three feet of air off the platform ramps, i'm sorry.
    But also, a car can still fit either side of the posts

    I will not be making any trains.

    Tasman Limited X-Class diesel + carriages if anyone is interested in doing a low poly but good quality rendition
    (you see all those wheels and suspension and whatever else the black bits are? they DO NOT need to be polygons :p )

    I think there is probably actually one plus a carriage or two in the Tasmanian Transport Museum http://www.railtasmania.com/ttms/

    WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!! woochoo.. I was spending time on Le Grand Circuit before Le Mans weekend. If only S397 could animate drivers running to their cars - using the arrow keys to pump their legs.
