The full extent of the chicanery at Montlhery in the 1960s into the '70s is too much of a mess to readily suss out, with various pieces not matching up or making sense.

Although the combined course length is the same, the pre-War and post-War layouts at Monza are not the same. As an example, the current Parabolica is an opening corner, while the 1922-38 version was pretty much semi-circular.
