Description	: A very improved Le Mans Bugatti version, as originally made by me (Antonio) in 2001 and Thomas Kost in 2009, when he made new textures and a beautiful scenery, including the 2002-2005 track layout, making Le Mans Bugatti looks as the MotoGP and DTM circuit in the 2000s. Now, in August 2023, I (Antonio) made a lot of improvements in track layout (now, the current post-2008 circuit with the Dunlop Chicane straight-line breaking zone and Virage du Garage Vert double-90-degree turns moved eastwards). As well some improvements in track width, scenery, etc. A revised track heights, a little bit more realistic now. A lot of new textures, and two versions: 2000s Le Mans Bugatti adverts (mostly made by Thomas Kost in 2009), and a 2023 Formula 1 Adverts. That sounds a good idea for Liberty Media to get back the F-1 French Grand Prix in a couple of years ahead, at Le Mans, the spiritual center of French motorsport.
