Monaco Gp: The Boats The Glamour The Narrow Track

Hello, Maniacs! Here we are, ready to attend the most glamour GP of the entire F1 season. The Montecarlo or The Monaco Grand Prix. The most famous street circuit, with luxuries boats glamour parties. A race out of time and out of place on the modern F1 calendar. A Grand Prix that survives simply because no-one can imagine Formula One without it.

Red Bull Simulator, F1 simulator, Montecarlo track, Monaco track, RfactorIt’s the shortest track of the calendar and the slowest too. It will be the first time of this season for the Pirelli supersoft tires. he building of the circuit takes six weeks, and the dismantling after the race another three weeks. The race circuit has many elevation shifts, tight corners, and is narrow. Making it perhaps the most demanding track in Formula One. Due to the tight and twisty nature of the circuit, it shows the skill of the drivers over the power of the cars. However, there is very little overtaking as the course is so narrow and dangerous.

Monaco’s street circuit places very different demands on the cars in comparison to the majority of the other circuits used during a Championship season. The cars are set up with high downforce configuration, not just to have high speed in those corners but mainly to give the cars the right balance and stability during brakes. Brake wear is not a problem during a race in Monaco. Instead, the low speeds mean the issue is keeping the brakes up to working temperature. The only heavy braking points are at the chicane after the tunnel, which often is seen as the only opportunity to overtake.

The name of the corners has now become very popular in the F1 Fans community such as Saint Devote, la Virage du Casino, Mirabeau, the slow Old Station, the Tobaccos, the Rascasse. The race is 78 laps. As always I leave you with a Lap around the track in the Simulator. I love to drive on the Monaco track getting near the barrier and improve lap times.
