Which map is correct about 1957 Pescara ?

"goldenera" map

Two maps are quite different in "Spoltore" and "Cappelle"

About ten years ago, rFactor displayed the Pescara circuit, the map there was more likely to "goldenera". However, this is not an evidence.

I would have thought the Pescara track was most likely created for GPL once upon a time and so would look for the GPL Track Database and see whether it still exists

This map looks like the second image, but a hand drawn map like this could be well off the real thing

Recently Italotracks completed work of Pescara circuit in Assetto Corsa. In his video, the "Cappelle" is a tunnel, which is the same as Google maps street view showed.
But in the RF or F1C game, the "Cappelle" is an uphill and then downhill course. I wonder why did the producers make this mistake.

I think different games might be representing different eras of the track’s history.

In F1 Challenge VB game, the .mas file was finally edited on 22.02.2011. It is quite early date that I can't figure out who has made this mod. As a result, I don't know what era did the developer want to show. Maybe before the WWII? Because its map is the same as "goldenera" which is a website displayed the racing environment before the WWII.
In Assetto Corsa game, it is very obvious because the mod was released in 2024. Italotracks said that it was a 1957 version.
