if'n y'all are interested.
Here's a program set for everybody's favorite new 13-mile (21 km) monster-compilation-fantasy-track thing.
Of some note (read: it took a while!) is the lovely BAPOM-standard in-game track map:
Not to mention our signature Printable Track Map technology!

Fantastic work as usual John.... just came out a little too late to prevent me from getting about half way through an anotated with cornernames map like your one. And then find out you've just released this one. Drat and Double Drat!
And yes it does take a while doesn't it...
Great stuff as always though.

Sorry, I but ever since The Carnival Incident I don't do beta's!
I can come up with lame justifications for not doing most of those other tracks, too!
(Though for what it's worth, the author of Bankerton contacted me for a program set a while back, which I did. So whenever that gets officially released, it'll presumably have a BAPOM-style program set.)
Anyway, my personal to-do list reads like this:
adelaide, ccombe, daymk, harewood, ridge, zeltweg
though not necessarily in that order.
(and several not-yet-released tracks that I can't talk about!)

Looking forward to it 
Sorry if I scared you
BTW: Why no variations of cover pages for the short and other version of Croft? Could be same but just slightly changed?

Magnus, I've got some Croft alternatives at the Compendium... John actually posted that they (the tracks) didn't do it for him, which is fair enough, you need some enthusiasm for a track to do a cover IMO, so I started doing a cover set for the British Club circuits all with a similar theme...

Thommo, some nice covers you have there!
You have lots of stuff on your site - you're a busy bee, by the looks of it.

Great programme set as ever John - and the map is a work of art!
Thommo, your programme's are great too, I use yours for the non-BAPOM tracks.

Hey guys, here's another...
I'm inordinately pleased with myself for the de-modernization of the Harewood logo, which you can find in it's original format over here - look at the car drawing...
A minor detail, but that's what we're all about at BAPOM Industries...
I'm also pretty happy with the in-game and printable track maps.
Did I ever mention that I hate underpasses?
Cheers,
--John Bradley, Recurring BAPOM Nuisance
P.S. Where the heck is Ron Percival? I haven't heard a good "Ai que bom" (or whatever) in forever!

Yeaaaahh!!!!
Thx! That one is really really nice!
Thommo:
VERY nice covers! But for the GPL online track database I think I'll stick to originals and bapoms since it would get messy to keep track of and have correct links and credits if I start using covers from more sources.
John:
At times I'm a kind of pain-honest guy.... I think your cover pages are VERY VERY nice. But from all you have done, one cover, only one single cover has been left out keeping the original instead, and that is Leipzig. I don't think that'll hurt your feelings though :-) I truly do admire your work! But I just had to tell you why that one isn't up on the site...

Totally understood Magnus
John, that Harewood is pukka, I superimposed a pikes peak picture onto the one I did, but was never really happy with it. I think I'll use your one from now on.
I know it might sound a bit precious, but I really like the big Autocar adverts as well, because it really puts a timestamp on the covers for me...
Great stuff as always

John,
Just returned home and saw the new covers. Brilliant as usual!
Give yourself a raise, and take a couple of days off

Agree! The Brittish tracks go well with that :-)

BTW: IS it so that the black part of the track on the map is what's there in reality and the more greyish is the "fantasy" return-to-start part?
I guess there's no underpass in real life?

Magnus: Correct. Go take a look at that link to the real Harewood page that I posted above. They've got a track map there.
Cheers,

My belated thanks John for all the covers released since my last vote of thanks (had too much work over the Christmas period to contribute as oftern as I like) plus the fact I have my fingers in other pies and don't get to drive too much these days.
Still, it's good to se that you are still the same old smoothy - ai que bom!

Help yourself Ben. That's what they're there for.
I did announce them, but it was all very low key...you know how Brits are...

Bapcom Rules! You guys are the best. Not because you do covers for just about all the tracks, but because you do them well, and with good taste.
