=========================================================================


* Construction *

  Base		: GP2 Barcelona
  Editor used	: Paul Hoad's Alpha Track Editor v1-5-2
  Known Bugs	: Spurious colours appearing in some wall & pit jams
  		  Grass bleeding onto track
		  All now fixed with Mexico1.2.dat by SNQQPY.DOG
  Build Time	: 76 hours over seven days (Phew!)


* Instructions *

		  Please create a folder within your gamejams 
		  directory called Mexijams and place the jam files 
		  into it. Place the Mexico.dat file in your circuits 
		  directory and rename it f1ct**.dat according to 
		  your choice. (I try and keep the circuits in roughly
		  the correct place for that season, so for me, in the 
		  1987 season the track should be #14, 1988-91 #4 or 5, 
		  1992 #2 or 3.)


* Construction *

     13-14/04/98  In an attempt to fix the pit lane entry bug on
		  Aubrey Windle's original Mexico, I started from
		  scratch on Barcelona, leaving the track sections 
		  around pit entrance and exit alone and moulding 
		  the circuit around them. This is where most bugs 
		  come in. I now have a bug-free circuit (10 hrs).
     14-16/04/98  Ran F1 1987 Review tape to take detailed notes on 
		  Mexico City circuit. Wrote the CC Line. Matched 
		  Object ID numbers to the objects, and removed them 
		  as I did so to leave a clear circuit. Moved all 
		  walls and added kerbs (25 hrs). Moved start line 
		  markings back to match up with car positions on the 
		  grid. Painted new circuit wall bitmap. Painted 
		  Pirelli bitmap for footbridge, altered stands and 
		  drew new (plain in 1987) tyre barriers. Tried to get 
		  kerbs along start straight. Failed. Began to insert
		  Objects for this circuit (4hrs).
     17-18/04/98  Placed stands and buildings, loads of trees, and 
		  some adverts. Repainted some bitmaps with Mexico 
		  details. Noticed lap times were too short so extended
		  circuit to produce realistic times and had to
		  partially re-write CC line as a result. Added bumps
		  to track (24hrs).
     26-27/04/98  Realised lap times were too long for 1992. Shortened
		  track and had to re-re-write CC line. From original 
		  circuit map (supplied by Aubrey Windle) added extra 
		  stands around track. Added fences.
