Ohh man you made my day. I have waited for this layout - a long time.
Now I just have to figure out how I can "convert" my lil non-Steam rF2 install to a full Steam monster.
By the way eventhough Im old and from Denmark I have watched F1 on Silverstone twice.
Allways on a camping chair in Club Corner with some friendly english blokes.
The last time was in the 90ties where Senna stopped in Club and where my hero Mansell managed to raise from midfield to winning(?) or 3rd(?) and the public did go havoc when Mansell offered Senna a lift from Club Corner to the pit area.
Senna didnt look overly glad:D
 
Nielson,
i think you should recognise the loading screen then

Yeah thats the pic.
Ohh how memories returns:)
What year was it exactly 92-93?

Edit: A further aspect of the story probably never mentioned before is that Senna rejected at least 2 other drivers offer to drive him back to pit.
Reason was properly that his ego demanded that he would only want to be passenger in the winners car.
Ohh yeah and now I have answered my own uncernity if Mansell ended up as 1 or 3.
He was winner:-)
 
You are completely right - 91.
I just found a pic on Wiki of the Mansell Senna stunt and If Im not completely wrong it has been taken precisely from my position in Club Corner.
Could be taken of one of the blokes I was talking about:-)

Looks good @philrob except for Stowe, but I've never seen an accurate 91-93 Stowe. Just glad to have the 91-93 Abbey-Bridge-Priory-Brooklands-Luffield :)

I liked that diagram when I first saw it but revised it slightly to add the bits of International and National loop connecting tracks.

having one particular version of one track is reason enough to re-install a sim? {is there a head-shake emoji?}

Haha good comment.
We have a saying in DK: The one who takes a joke seriously has not understood either of the parts.

@Phil
The pics from Silverstone looks rather promissing:)

Its allways awquard to try to explain humour or a joke - hehe and even in another language:)
But my answer with the danish saying has nothing to do with the patronizing tone there is in "He who laughs last..."

But taken from the the beginning then my post above where I say that:
Will it be possible to use this red layout - then I will reinstall my rF2 :rolleyes:
Then this comment was 100% to support Philrobs intention of finishing his Silverstone - by commenting(humorous) that this is so great that it could even make me reinstall rF2.
But the reason I used the special eye-smiley behind was because I have no intention to reinstall rF2 (at the moment).

But then I could see that you thought that there actually existed a strict causality between Philrobs project and my reinstall.
And instead of just ignoring that it irritated me that a 100% supporting comment to Philrobs Silverstone project should be used to ‎imply such a laughtable thing that just an extra track could get a man to complete reinstall rF2.

The danish saying does only mean that if a person dont catch that something is humorous(my reinstall "promise") then he will probably neither understand if something(I say) is serious.
But to avoid that then this post is 100% serious:D
Comprende?
 
i fully understand you Nielsen, the track is the 91-93 version as shown in the post #16. I also reinstalled to convert and drive Crystal Palace and Aintree, but i didnt stop with these two.
 
@philrob
Just to add a thing to my post above then its NOT a joke that I had hoped someone would bring this Layout to rF2.
Both because I have experienced it in RL but also because I have enjoyed myself lapping this layout in iceRacing more than 1000(?) times.
Hehe fortunately iceRacing have never updated this track to the new modern layout which I hate from rF2.:D

So keep up your good work my good man:)
 
@Phil, if you look at Mauro's last image, you see the grid start positions. I meant those. Before 1995 (sorry not 1996), they looked like this:
