The French Grand Prix will be running this weekend at Magny-Cours Formula 1 track and fans are hoping that a few more cars will race than the debacle last month at Indianapolis.

There’s no cars on the track in the Magny-Cours satellite photo but there’s some good large type all around the course.

Just a quick heads up to let you know that I’ve updated the FAQ page. You can now learn how to find the moved ’satellite’ link, use the “z” variable to set a specific zoom level, and also how to search for a specific latitude and longitude.

Any suggestions or corrections, please leave in the comments thread of this post, thanks!

Check out these weird coloured rings in Florida (centre of alien activity). Our submitter, Woowoowoo, reckons this is an example of “Newton’s Rings”. Nope we’d never heard of them either, but fortunately Wikipedia had. ;-)
