Down the main straight.

After watching the old movie Grand prix. I marvelled at how accurate the GPL tracks are, you really could recognise were you were on the film. My question is at Monza when they used the combined oval and normal track , were do you turn on and off the normal track as the film seemed to show most corners being used of the old track plus the banking, Anyone know?

And there were bollards all down the middle of the main straight as well making it a bit of a crazy maneuver to cross over. - Michael

So did they really do one lap of the normal Monza, one lap of the oval, one lap of the normal Monza, one lap of the oval, and so on, alternating between the two in the F1 race of '61? That would be weird. What if you accidently did two normal Monza's in a row, could you do two ovals to make up for your blunder? :) Bendito;

Yep. Not difficult really as when you come out of parabolica you just stay on the right side of the main straight to then go on the banking and when you come off the banking you're already on the left of the main straight to go up to curva grande. The cars didn't interweave on the main stright. Kev
