At the last news, Papyrus was still in negotiations with some track
authorities about the license of certain tracks.  They can't say anything
presently about this.  But be almost sure that those tracks are modeled, and
that if they find a license for them (I recall Silverstone, the 'Ring,
B.Hatch and Monaco) that they will appear in the simulator.

There is many reasons why the Monaco principality wouldn't want the track to
be modeled into a simulator.  The first reason in my head was that the track
at this time was very dangerous, and not representative of what the track is
presently.  The lack of security (we can just remember the deaths, people
jumping into the water, etc..) is the main reason I though.  But Barton
S.Brown just said a new thing about it. Here is something I will take from
him <hope you aren't mad about obvious illegal use of copyrighting I will do
;-)   >

    " Be that as it may, in the last few years the Automobile Club of
Monaco,
like the ACO, FIA, and IMS, have awakened to the cachet of their own
venue, and started demanding licensing fees for the use of their name
and various "trademark" elements of the yearly GP. If you don't think
that's true -- and you've apparently convinced yourself that WHATEVER
you think has the imprimatur of the One Truth -- you might want to
contact M. Roy Hulsbergen, of Interactive Media Development S. C. S. in
Monaco. I'm sure he'd be glad to explain it all to you. "

Hope I cleared some points here.  I think it's only 2-3 trolls who are
making some bad things, especially someone who we all know. A simple Troll.
