GPL: Monza oval in plan?

Hello ! After ive downloaded the fantastic Brands Hatch (thx Dan) i want to ask, if there are more tracks (i mean real 67 looking tracks) are in plan? Maybe Hockenheim? Maybe AVUS? Maybe the Monza oval (ok. its not 67 looking but interessting anyway) Servus Andreas http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/uffinger/index.html Die ultimativen DEL/DEB-Add-Ons fr NHL99

It was used till 1965 by F1 (non-World Championship races), and is similiar to the Ring or Rouen. And Phil Hill said once that the series of 16 curves (left-left-right-left-right-left-right-left-right-left-right-left-right-left-right-left) in the Mahdental section are more difficult to learn than the whole Ring. Clermont-Ferrand would be nice, too. -- Matthias Flatt

As far as I have understood of the messages by those who know, the overlappings of racing streets - as in Monza when the banked section goes over the non banked one - are NOT generally possible in the GPL engine! So all the 8-shaped - in a way or another - courses should be impossible? Those hoping for the banked Monza have not read this info? Or is there a way of overcoming this problem? Arto

Sounds like fun - do you know a link to a map of that circuit, I've never seen one? Agreed - that's in the Grand Prix movie, I think. - Michael

http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/solitude.html The larger map is very detailed, but over 350kB. :-/ The idiot ;-) who scanned it should have made it smaller ... That's what I thought, too. -- Matthias Flatt

What about the last corner in Mexico? It is banked almost as much as the Monza banking, and works perfectly! Ciaoooooooo! ;) -- Roland Arto Wikla:
