OT: Make Rockingham disappear
Just been pointed in the direction of this great Google Maps type site that gives an option of different map services. Heres the link to Rockingham as seen on Google maps, try then ticking the Microsoft VE Aerial on the left and watch the track vanish :

Been using MSNs version of maps (maps.live.com) over the last few days for work, and noticed that Rockingham was there from a distance but not close. It seems that a lot of the close maps on there are out of date, but if you get the option of a 3D/Birds eye view they are very recent. For example the overhead shot of where I work shows it pre-extension, with roughly half the current building missing - The birds eye view shows all the new building from all sides, plus the new Doncaster Rovers stadium over the road, which would suggest a photo in the last 4-6 months, looking at the stage of the works
An improvement on MSN compared to Google maps in some way though - You can get detailed aerial photos for most other race circuits now (except Rockingham), which Google didn't have. Cadwell, Croft and Oulton (with a big race meeting in progress) are now detailed
AlGoing round under the yellows... :(
