You keeping saying "more" in this threads without being specific - so to help people out do you want to know more
about the track itself - it's history, the founders, it's layout, it's designers
or
do you want to know about the races held at the tracks in Angola
or
do you want to know about the general Angolan motorsport history??
If you help us more, we can help you more - you're only helping yourself if you just explain yourself a little better - even in Portguese, 'cos we can all use Babelfish (or those of us who have one - myself included - a Portuguese Dictionary) can try & understand a little better what all these "I want more" demands actually mean.
Not criticism, just trying to help here...

When it comes to track maps, Darren's site is the best - it includes Benguela, Fortolaza, Nova Lisboa & Restinga - basically if a track isn't there, I'm not sure it'll be anywhere on the web, but, like I say, I'm no track expert...

Well there is not a lot of information there. But you can keep trying and you will find something somewhere.

Anyway, this is from one of my books:
"Luanda in Angola was another street track around the houses and along the watrerfront. Hotel entrances were sandbagged and manhole covers were welded down. Practice started at 3am to miss some of the daytime heat and to avoid disrupting the town until race day. Come the race, of course, everything overheated but somehow a winner was always found. Later, as Angola fell into civil war, motor racing became more difficult and the race faded away, the sandbags used for other purposes."
That's probably as much as there is to say about Angolan motorsport! It doesn't happen anymore. I've just been told that the civil war is still on...? My book was published in 1989.

I've been following these threads and these questions (posed under a number of user names here and on 10 10ths) and I gotta ask - is this a long-running joke? If it is can someone please let me in on it. Thanks

Maybe he just wants to expand his racing knowledge, but I don't have any idea what it will amount to in the end...

And on Ten Tenths, it seems as though NKT and 659 are the same. Possibly the same as the above three mentioned!
Sorry for this thread to be so off topic!
