Description     	: Finally a complete version of the revamped Silverstone Circuit, with much more details in scenery. The track layout made in 2010 when MotoGP was going to come back to the "Home of British Motor Racing", and also when FOM/Formula One completed a new contract extension with BRDC (British Racing Drivers Club, owner of Silverstone). In 2011 was built a new pit building in the straight from Club bend and the former Abbey chicane, moving the start/finish line to there. A very fast circuit!


Other Works     	: I stopped to count my previous works, from 2001 to now, maybe some dozens of GP2 tracks around the world... :)
Thanks to       	: Paul Hoad for the Trackeditor, Object editor and Jam editor.
                  	  Geoff Crammond for making Grand Prix 2.
			  Andreas Schulz for grandprix2.de
			  Tim de Klein, Thomas Kost, Michael Raballand, rremedio, for a lot of GP2 tracks and textures
			  John Edwards for Silverstone 2003 with a semi-fictional track layout

* Construction *
Base            	: Silverstone 2011 by rremedio, AAS and John Edwards
Editor(s) used  	: Jam Editor, 
		  	  Track Editor,
			  Objecteditor,
			  MS Paint (XP)  
Known Bugs    		: Few bugs. One of them is a irrelevant appearing of the pit lane exit in front of the pit bulding when the car is on the pits. This is caused because the pit building is not actually an object, meanwhile, a ribbon!
Build Time     		: Antonio's work: less than 1 week during the 2020 coronavirus quarantine in late March + few updates on tarmac textures in early 2021 (still on the lockdown due covid-19 pandemic...)


* Installation *
1. 
(if you already have new tracks on the game jump to STEP 2): 
patch the game with a util that obliges the game to read the tracks
from the harddisk. These utils are gp2nocd or trakonhd. 
Search for one of them on the net and install it. This program will 
create a new directory called "circuits": you have to copy there 
ALL the 16 track files (F1ct01, F1ct02...........F1ct16)

2. 
Place the 'SIL20' directory from the ZIP file into the Gp2 'gamejams' directory.

3. 
Place Silverstone_Great Britain_2020.dat file in the circuits directory. It runs the best in slot 08. Others slots was not tested.

4. 
Start Gp2 and drive...........
