In the movie, they are running the old config with the banked oval- it's
there in GPL(you drive under it coming up the hill after the Lesmos), you
just don't drive on the raised portion.

Which part seems elevated? You mean the banking part that's not in
GPL?

Yes, it's been told here many times over the past year, Dave.

The last F1 GP to be run on the full circuit (banked oval plus road circuit)
was during the 1.5-litre era, in 1961. The 3-litre cars never raced a GP on
the banking.

At this present time the banking, albeit in a rather decrepit state, still
exists but only through the tireless efforts of enthusiasts both in Italy
and world-wide.  However, nothing is guaranteed and demolition could still
go ahead.

I hope this brief summary is helpful.

Also saw it earlier. The banking is on the bridge.
I thought about an easter-egg, so I tried to get up. Was not
successful. :-(
