Thank you, guys. 
First post updated with Hockenheim.
Thanks.
The old hockenheimring was such a great track! Thanks a lot for this circuit!
Now looking forward to Rouen

Great job on monza and hock. 
i was thinking why you did not include this two naked dat into the gp4 original layout. This could easily improve a lot the track layout result and give others ispiration the create the old-fashioned one.

@klausfeldmann: My pleasure, mate.
@Turbo Lover: +2. As the old Hockenheim required a minimum drag setup, one would tackle Ostkurve with basically no aerodynamic downforce. It would be easily flat out with, for example, a Silverstone setup, but it is not the case here. It took me a while to figure out where and for how long I needed to lift the throttle. It is very much a splitsecond before the actual corner, then I'm hard on the throttle again and - ruling out confidence lifts - I just hope I will not slide off the track in the second part of the curve at 300 kmh. It was indeed a fantastic corner. I tried to model it as accurately as possible, though I think the entry was maybe a little bit less sharp.
@drt01: Thank you very much and I see your point regarding the inclusion of the .dats in the original layouts. It would be relatively easy in the case of Hockenheim, but Monza - though it is not apparent and obvious - was actually modified quite heavily. Almost every corner would need some reshaping graphically - and I literally have no idea how to edit 3D.
It's mainly because I'm actually not that interested in it. It is the feel, not the look of a track, which excites me. But if someone would like to build a 3D environment, he or she can freely use and modify these .dats, I have absolutely no problem with it. I would be happy to have helped somebody, who is very excited about the graphical part, but actually does not like the physics part that much.

Of course, it should work.
Just don't be surprised that the pit entry and exit are at their original place and that there are no kerbs on the 1968 track.
I hope otherwise the .dat fits - especially at the chicanes. (I didn't try it yet.)

Yes, it sets the mood well. Who else to represent the 60s.

here is the beta layout for Monza 1971. Based on gp4 original layout updated with some textures that i had in HD, but mainly thanks to Atticus for his accurated dat.
Everybody can use this layout as base for advanced update.
Enjoy
