Hethel track ?

[Jonathan]

Just had a look on Google earth and it looks as if the track has been lifted up ?

The corners around the old tower are now dirt and you can see the diggers in the image.

Has it had a face lift ?

this was google maps in april07

this is google maps now

is it me or does the 'new' map seem older?? where has the car park gone next to the track where we parked last year?

why does the bends in the track look like they were never there?

The truth is out there - but I agree that the 'current' shot is in fact older than the 'April' one - apart from anything there's a new Elsie factory.

Maybe there's something secret in the Norwich area that 'they' don't want us to see...

It's a cover up I tell thee :yes

Shots around my area are about a year ago as you can see certain areas being built.

Why would they backdate such a thing ?

Round my way changed due to State secrets.

Perhaps, if youlook very closely at the newer picture, you can see a new Esprit and someone at Lotus noticed and got Google to put up an older picture.

I've put the question to LEC's resident Google map insider.

I had a go around the track in an elise during middle of July and the "old" picture is what was there....

Day was great fun..

Google map of my area is at least 6 years out of date!!
