Is the track created by Roland Ehnstr?m the only Le Mans Bugatti track
available, and if so, where can I find the most recent version of this
course?

Yes. It's here
http://home.swipnet.se/~w-36707/bugatti/

Someone is working on the full Le Mans circuit too.

I hope that's true - that's one of the classic tracks that we really
need in GPL. (Of course, we really should have a '67 sportscar carset to
be really authentic)

As the people following the Legends Central GPL forums can verify,
it is definitely true. The track is supposedly already drivable (which,
however,  does _not_ equal finished!), and it is reported that the
Mulsanne straight takes over a minute when you're driving flat out in a
Lotus. :)

And FYI, the "definitive" tracks-in-construction list can be found at the
GPL track editor pages (whose web address does elude me now). It's not
keeping itself up to date very well, though, because the track editor
release has spawned at least half a dozen new track projects.

Should lead to some serious slipstreaming and weaving in on-line
races:-)

Thanks for the info - anyone know this track editor URL?

Yeah, it kind of sucks, but the rest of the track will be very cool. BTW,
I've got the editor address now - http://home.online.no/~bi-knu/editing/
and click on "tracks/projects" on the bottom right.

13.5, I think. That would make it the longest non-AVUS third party track.

Well, I thought km *first*, because you're on the other side of the pond.  But
since GPL reports track length in miles, that's the conclusion I came to.  13km
just doesn't seem that long to me.<shrug>
