Hi all!

Some time ago in 2015 I started one topic here https://srmz.racesimcentral.net/inde...opic=10562&st=0 where I asked someone to make spring graphic update for Brands Hatch. Several people responded to my request. One of them was Thomas. He made some great textures for the track and like with all of his work he was very careful to details. It was not easy to make everything look perfect but Thomas did great job. Unfortunately Thomas never finished this update and it remained ‘beta’ stage. Maybe that’s why Thomas never made it public.

But despite being unfinished I feel it is worth to share with you :)

So with kind permission from Thomas I want to present this files for you. I hope you will enjoy driving Brands Hatch in the spring. An you find it useful for Race of Champions events in 60's :wave:

I want to say another thanks for this. I am really enjoying it. I also copied everything but the spring tree textures to make a great update to Brands 66 and 68.

Have you thought about if we could do the same for an Oulton Park Spring update Pavel? Maybe we could use some of the textures from this update? I think Spring Brands and Oulton did have a similar feel about them looking at 67 photos.

And Silverstone (silver2) for Intermational Trophy too :P
Chris, I'm not good artist, I think. I can make some update but using others work. I hope Denis (db312) will have once inspiration to work on this tracks ;)

Many thanks for posting this update which plugs the "gap" previously visible in the segment from paddock hill bend to druids.....
Really finishes the overall package off well :thumbup:

Thomas Laechele's website just went offline today, seems like hosting expired or something? Yesterday was fine :mellow:
