Which La Sarthe is most like the classic one

[Jahgee]

I am looking to start a classic racecar series, but which La Sarthe is most like the classic one?

 

[SkierPS3]

There are only two, the 2005 and 2009 version. Pick.

2005, older/narrower.

 

[Bopop4]

It has to be the chicane free one too.

 

[Aaronrray]

'05 no chicanes!!

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Although even the 2005 version is very different from the 1967 track. (I assume that's the year you'll base the series around)

I like the old 2005 version. It gives me a feeling that I'm home. It's not that I don't like the new version, but it's just that I'm used to the older because of GT4.

I don't like the first section in the new one, it feels too wide and the lack of visual refference from the grass area blinds the forst two corners. Not only that, but it feels dull, just like in the case of Fuji where the older ones were much more fun. Since I use strictly cockpit view, driving cars like the 908 HDi FAP in the new one, you have to virtually guess where you are. It's a lot of fun though.

For the classic feel I would definitely suggest "2005 no chicane" all the way!!

2005 no chicane for sure.

The oldest one is '05 no chicanes. It's not the '67 track that would be cool to have.
Here is a link to some info on the track.
