Is there any upgrade around to allow Monza to run the combined new circuit &
old high banked course ? Did that really occur in the mid 60's ?

The banking wasn't used for GP cars after 1961, the cars just got too fast for
the banking and it was too unsafe

I was just mentioning that it hadn't been used since 61 for safety reasons..

Frankenheimer put the banking into the film for dramatic effect.
