Well yes and no Doug..
There was back in 1967 "two" LeMans race. What he is talking is the Formula
1 event that was raced on the Bugatti circuit back in 1967 for the F1
season. The Bugatti uses parts of the front-stretch and goes into some
parking lot I think after. Because they didn't run at Rouen back in 1967.
Papyrus decided to not include Bugatti because it was simply boring (never
heard of other reasons).

Hmm... very to-the-point reply, but a bit wrong really.
The 1967 French GP was held at the Le Mans "Bugatti" circuit, which
included part of the front stretch of the main track. The track was,
well, crap, and totally unworthy of the race at a time when it could be
held at Rouen or Clermont-Ferrand.
It seems Papy agreed and decided to include Rouen instead.

It was omitted by Papyrus because they considered it to be unworthy of
inclusion.....thank God!! Even the drivers back then hated the track and JB
dubbed it a "Mickey Mouse" layout.

But it does have lots of overtaking spots, and the soul who can come up to me
and call the righthander after the pit straight boring, with or without
chicane, is a raving lunatic! :-D
Erm,...IMO!
