To put this thread more-or-less back on topic, I assume the current F1
games (like F1 2000 which I rented for my PSX last night) use the "new"
Ring?
Are there any good F1 games that use the old (original?) Ring?
Also, thanks to the poster who posted the URL for the maps; they're great!

Yes- the old track was finally judged to be too unsafe for F1.
Yep.
Grand Prix Legends. You'll get to know that name very well around here.

Yes, I have; it wasn't.
I suspect you were suggesting I drive the Nordschleife during the GP. I
hadn't thought of that. It would have been tempting! Guaranteed to be
really quiet; unlike the rest of the day when mostly drunk vandals populate
the track, and I'd conveniently miss watching the race. But, unfortunately,
it's closed.
