new tracks


Recommended Posts

I live about 30 minutes drive from aldershot, and my dad used to go to watch there when he was about my age and a little older. he always tells me stories about how great the place was. i personally have never been there, but i might ask him if he will take me up there to see if anything is still left (ill take a camera if we do) thats if there is anything left worth takin a piccy of :(

 

Hope to see this track online soon, will be truly awsome

 

and also i didnt know that was how spedewroth started :o but im glad it did!

Well, Nick (Nick M48) said he was interested in modelling the track if he can get enough pictures.

Maybe you should tell him of yours.

I`ve got a few others but only out of programmes etc.

A few people have been asking me how Westworld is coming on, well here is a pic so they can decide for them selves :042:

 

I did get further then this, but I wasnt happy with it so I deleted it right back to the basics and built it up from there. There are obviously a few texture problem with it, however what I do is create the bit needed in max, whack any old texture on it just to test and see what it is like in game before texturing it properly.

 

Hoping to get this released before the end of the season so it is ready for the start of next year if Ukdirt wish to use it.

 

Cheers

Did colin farely get out ok?? looked pretty badly warped up that motor :P

:rolleyes:

I forgot to mention, Colin Farely, who was Fig.8 Champion at the time, became a victim of this nasty looking "follow in".

However you`ll be glad to know he got away with just a cut hand.

:thumbs_up: Hey Nick

Just found out there`s a place known as www.mhvideos.co.uk which is Martin Hunt Videos

and he`s flogging off some Aldershot DVD`s and Videos such as ;

 

"Aldershot van Banger Compilation" - Featuring 8 meets 1986 - 1992

 

"Aldershot A60`s Compilation" - quote; "1897 - 1990" - (Wow Victorian A60`s ??) s/b 1987 - 1990

 

"Goodbye Aldershot" - 3 hours of that fateful last meeting , November 1992.

 

Well it`s on my must get hold of list, so I`ll see what I can find.

 

Things are looking up :thumbup:

I, for one, would love to be able to race around Newton Abbot again, OK, so it would only be online ( should anyone consider making the track for online use), but its somthing that will never be possible again in real life otherwise. I was never lucky enough to witness Aldershot ' in real life', but I would sure like to have a crack at it online.

Bringing back defunct tracks online would sure bring back alot of memories for those of us that used to visit them, and it would hopefuly allow those unfortunate enough not to visit them, the chance of getting some idea what the places where all about and what made them so magical.

Can't remember the year then but I think Ernie B won it - it was so bloody hot that day. Got sunburnt legs and struggled to press the pedals to drive back to Oxfordshire

 

Anyone help out with the year or have any pics? or where to get a video from?

 

Thanks

I remember that the track photographer at Newton Abbot used to be a rather flamboyant woman named Wendy Wilkinson, but unfortunately, she never advertised her contact details in any of the old Autospeed programs.

If you contact Crispen at Autospeed, just go on the website and email him, he may be able to help out? ( If he does, please pass on any info :thumbs_up: )

I would love to have some of her photos now, as all Im left with after all the motors I raced there, are three very tattered pics of a crappily prepped Cortina estate that I raced.
