wow. i don't know what track they used in 1967, but it would definitely
be hard to find a nicer circuit than this one - great elevation changes,
5th gear turns, brake-slamming hairpins, etc.

anybody that can break 2:00 here is a he-man.

No, no, Talladega, Michigan...oh, gotta stop now! ;^)

Just exactly who cursed you Jay! :)

  Bruce, your letting us in on your *** idiosynchracies again?

The French GP was held on the pretzel-shaped Le Mans-Bugatti circuit in
1967. This is the circuit that gave rise to the term "Mickey Mouse
track" after Jack Brabhams' derisive description of it! :o)
Thank your lucky stars that the Papyrus people decided to find something
else worthy of our driving talents!

The Rouen circuit was last used for a French GP in 1968 and is certainly
a far more enjoyable and challenging track that Le Mans-Bugatti ever
was.

Papyrus could also have chosen the other major French road circuit,
Reims, but whilst fast it is not as challenging as Rouen.

If you want to see some further info, including photos and a circuit
map, visit the site shown below.

Cheers!

You mean, Rouen is one loooong straight? :-)

Not quite, Remco!
But if Papyrus have reproduced it properly, there is a l-o-o-o-ng
"straightish" section across the 'top' that joins the two legs of the
Vee.
