its a little tricky to count the number of corners acurately because it's not like a normal race track with distinctive straights and corners, each one links to the next one and there isnt really a proper straight apart from the main one on the entry exit point.

I count about 85 direction changes per lap, thats where i am making the car go from straight ahead to left or right.

Must say I'm looking forward to this one John, where will we be able to buy it from? Will be so nice to see the Ring from a fast car, rather than my Skoda

I am going to put it in the scoobyshop video section when it's ready. That way plus members get their discount plus it gives it some exposure.

We are going to have them produced in an initial batch in PAL and NTSC format, so once released there shouldnt be any waiting for delivery, it should be straight from stock. That's the aim, hopefully we get the numbers in the initial batch right.

UK/European distribution will be direct from myself so we can keep the price very competitive, I have USA distribution sorted out too, so the costs of shipment i would normally have on an individual basis have been taken care of, this should help keep the price down for people in the USA too.

This is all very new to me, having diesel do all the creative work is a massive plus. I have an award winning graphic designer doing the cover too (my brother ) so it should look very profesional. I cant wait to see the results myself.

"Gone in 400 seconds" (insert fastest lap time in here)
Given the layout of the thing that would be "Back in 480 seconds"

PS: I know JF's a good driver, but 6:40 seems to be a bit optimistic

Was going to be "Gone is 600 seconds" but thats 10 minutes. Me and my crap driving could probably get round in less than 10 minutes .

under 10 minutes is known by the locals as being monkey fast chris. 10 minutes is no mean feat on that track.

John - I think you should just call it

"Monkey fast"

You could get dressed up as monkey (magic karate man, or stuffed ITV toy) for the front

Release has been a bit delayed by the fun of my moving house and taking a week off. I'll do a bit more this week!
