OT: Limerock/ Watkins Glen tracks on video/ computer?

I know it's a bit OT but if anyone would know I figure this panel would...

I'm planning a few "local" DE's this year at both Limerock and Watkins Glen and am wondering if single/ multi lap in car videos are available for either track? Perhaps even in a computer game?

I'd love to get myself acclimated to each track before I make a first run. (Rather spend my time driving vs. wondering in where the next turn is taking me.)

The old PC game "Sports Car GT" has Lime rock, run without the chicane.

NASCAR racing 4 has Watkins Glen.

I saw one of these video's for the Glen and although they are interesting, he is driving a prepared 914 which is on a different line that you will have at your DE. The most helpful guide are the written track links that you will find on some regions web pages like MetroNy or CVR.

My $.02 worth

Tom,

I don't think any driving schools use the chicane at Lime Rock. Also all driving schools use the full course at the Glen, and the NASCAR game would omit the boot. Just FYI.

Thnaks a bunch for the input! I'll look for these. They certainly can be a great help in learning a track.

(Sorry for the delayed reply. Work is taking over my life...again.)

this isnt really related , but check out

www.virtualspectator.com


I saw some stuff on WRC mentioning this site and company. If they get plenty of interest, it can only get better offering us more track information.
