Tried this one last night with the Corvette first then the Capri. This is going to be a tough one to choose the right car for. But the circuit is certainely a contender for my top 10 best circuits. Luvin' it.

The 'Zeltweg' bit in the name confuses me, is this the proper Osterreichring they ran all through the 70s and 80s?....must try it at the weekend. If it is that one then no wonder you love it Tony. This is up there with the old 60s Spa circuit for adrenaline pumping insane cornering speeds. In the mid-80s turbo era it was almost suicidally fast, got abandoned as too dangerous and hacked up into the (still pretty good) A1-Ring.
If its the track I think it is this should be a humdinger.

The Corvette selection is tricky. They are under the GTC-TC76 catagory but it's the ones that DONT have the visible headlights. I believe an example of the forbidden fruit would be the Red "Stars and Stripes" version.

This is a very fast circuit with huge straights. Last night I almost topped out the Capri and that was with the longest gearing!

Oh my, I'm in danger of getting ever-excited. Checked the download link and it takes you nowhere very specific but must be for the Osterreichring79 track. And your comments agree with that Tony. Haven't driven it since GPL years ago, but this is what I call a real track. Oh boy.

Most of the circuit is easy learn stuff but the start finish straight culminates in an uphill section (at which point your car will be flat out) and a blind entry right/left/right chicane that has monster kerbing. Must be taken in 2nd after heavy braking. It's certainly an exhilarating moment when you get that done correctly.

Is this the track Tony/Steve? (it has the dodgy kerbed chicane at the top of S/F straight hill) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n9N71n3hRQ It's GTR2 & the music's rubbish...

Mmm yeah, apart from the dubious driving and silly looking kerbs at the chicane, looks good.
