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. -- Scott Moore Sports *** Network [link lost in import: /***.com] > Happened to catch last 30 minutes of Grand Prix from 1966... > the Monza track appeared to be elevated...which it isn't in GPL... > anybody know the story on this? > Dave O.
Which part seems elevated? You mean the banking part that's not in GPL? Andre

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. :-( Jens >Which part seems elevated?
