WTCC 2006 - Monza 06

[Guest]

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.

its not all about setting the car up, you can also win a lot with track knowledge. I've also started on Monza with 2:06's and i climbed up to a 2:00.9 or something like that

 

[richiespeed13]

i know monza like the back of my hand...
dont worry, i'll practice!!!

 

[Attila Domján]

@ Neo's video... tisk tisk, track cutting!

it is only what the game allows... tisk tisk....

That's too broad a comment to encompass everything the game allows you to do - the game also allows massive cuts on turn 1 at Curitiba, in most corners at MagnyCours and the bug that Evonglan found at Puebla - is it also OK to use them to get faster times? I think you'll answer negatively to that question.
You know as well as I do that a gentleman racer keeps at least two wheels on the track surface at all times (unless going airborne! *looks at Shivan*)

Ok hetfield, but this a practice which is executed at monza (especially in the Variante della Roggia) by many drivers and "allowed" by the game. Furthermore, it's impossible to check every driver on the lines he uses and what i can remember, a lot of drivers got a SnG over there for pushing their luck a bit too much.

And if you want to keep discussing this, please be free to continue this outside the hotlap forum.
