All,

I just viewed my new DVD of the 1966 (?) movie starring James Garner. One thing I cant figure out - in the final crash scene at Monza when the French hero flies off the banking and crashes onto the track below. I looked at a track map and cannot figure out how they could have had an over and under race lap configuration. Unless they split the main straight down the middle and made it two separate straights.

Anyone know the answer?

PS for a movie made way back then, the cinematography is incredible.
