Set in a park, 10 miles north of the city of Milan, Monza is Europe's oldest permanent circuit still in use. It is 3.585 Miles / 5.793 km in length and even though chicanes now infiltrate on three fast sections, the sweeping corners and long straights make this the fastest circuit on the Formula 1 as well as the WTCC calendar.

It is one of the most historic motor racing circuits in the world.

The circuit is flat, with little variation in elevation, and regarded as a track which tests horsepower rather than driver skills. This is not the case when it comes to WTCC racing. Here the relatively equal cars put all focus on the drivers ability to get the most out of the available potential. A cool head and a talent for clean lines is a must here... as is the ability and the nerve to go extremely deep into the braking zones.

On slower and more narrow tracks drivers can make their cars wide and make overtaking virtually impossible for long stretches of the track, but at Monza there are no such breathing rooms. It's all nailbiting head to head action. This could be the track where you will feel the heat of the incredible AI drivers the most, they will do their best to rattle you from start to finish.

noooo man, i need a lot of practise in this, i have it only from today.

Cars handling is much different then in GTR 2, in a certain way easier, but needs more careness on the brakes, and since the cars has less power a small mistake resulting immediately in huge time loss.

Oh, and man, these cars are so slow.... i want my F550!!! :evil:
 
ok, i could put together quite a good lap with the Honda, i think i will stick with that car, most stable to drive and i did not experience that the Alfa would be faster. The other cars definetely slower for me in top speed as well, so for me the Honda is the choice so far. lol

I think after some finetuning and little more practise below 1.59.5 is surely possible.

For team members i put the setup for this hotlap in the setups session.

the bmw has always been the harder car to get faster times in time attacks, it's definetly tough to compete with seat and alfa. :roll:

i'd oversteered violently on the 2nd chicane
hoping to get a better time later on :(

]I think he must have changed his gears as well, but for the rest a 2.00+ time shoudl be possible for skilled drivers (I think)

uhm you're right :) . but i think i'm way too unexperienced yet for beginning to change the setup :?


sai your times are of tha hook :D
 
1.59.241 today in a testing with Stiggy. Unfortunately on that lap made a mistake on last chicane, it should have been around 1.58.8... today i am not good for testing, cant concentrate, next time.... lol
