I love Google Earth. It rocketh. I can't wait until it gets all up to the photographic level in the UK.

Silverstone race circuit is in pretty good detail, though. It looks to me like they took the pictures on an open test day from the stuff in the paddock. The definition doesn't let me tell what the cars are, though.

Bugger.
