Season 5 race 5@ Monaco- Drivers Meeting

[Peter Marshall]

I'll start this thread early.

First question, are we going to use the 2008 or 2007 version of the track?

I have limited track time lately but I will definately need to turn many laps in preparation for this event if I want to see the chequered flag.

 

[Valter Ostman]

One vote for 2007

 

[David Turnbull]

It will be 07, and the servers and PrestoGP Updater are updated accordingly

[Jim Hawley]

I don't mind either way, Monaco is monaco..... playground of the rich and famous,

No, not really, but the only times on PrestoGP are times done half a year ago on the 07 track

 

[Reik Major]

Thanks Nicolai. I am now spoiled by the baby ass smooth Fiorano track. In the F1 the Monaco2008 track felt almost like a plowed field in some places.

I will be travelling most of this week with no chance to practice and small chance to take part in discussions here. This is in no way a reflection of the level of my interest in the series.

I touched the wall during my best recorded lap. I think that is illigal

Not my call... but... I think it's ok to "touch" the walls

I watched MSC touch the wall on the exit of the swiming pool on his way to pole in 2000, it was flippin awesome

I second that

Thanks Nic, now everybody knows and can really go for it

Sounds like we can just run around pinballing off the walls. Personally I will not, go for it, but then it may be that it is best to start last here anyway.

We did a thursday race here and the biggest danger was not the people crashing in front of you, but the ones coming from behind that ran straight into the back of you when you slowed to avoid the crash.

I do not think there is any time to be gained through trying to hit the wall, but saying that any lap where contact with wall has occured is void... well, I do not want to go around looking for that at least The fewer rules the better it is.

 

[Jim Hawley]

For sure Nico if you hit the wall hard it's gonna slow you down, and/or break something

Idealy you need to leave the faintest mark on the barrier with your rear tyre as you power out of the exit....that's Monaco utopia easier said than done though

I think I did it once, but it was more luck than judgment:tongue:
