Besides Turn 1, and the tight hairpin, the layout remained 100% original...until the FIA destroyed it:

About Roosevelt Raceway - I think you could drive that in the Spirit of Speed 1937 game. The layout struck me as being very "modern". Like it would really suit a modern racecar with strong aero.

Nice aerial drawing.

This is an aerial shot of the Assen TT circuit around 1955, after it was just completed.

Erm, what's happened here? This doesn't look much like the start/finish unless it's be redeveloped into a toilet block
