ROUND 3 MONACO GRANDPRIX @ Azure Circuit (Original turn 1, no Nouvelle Chicane, short pool) 37 Laps
5:30pm EST/10:30pm UK Time
In-game date: May 10th, 1970
Weather Forecast: CLEAR
SPECIAL RULES
-So the layout is closer to the way the circuit was in 1970, a few changes have been made. You may cut over the turn 1 kerbs past the pit exit line, you may also cut the pit exit line when leaving the pits.
-The Nouvelle Chicane is also bypassed, drive straight through.
-The kerbs and bumps around the pool may be bypassed as that section didn't exist in 1970. Note that the railings/barriers cannot be bypassed.
Here's the link to the rules & regulations:

What does Short Pool mean? Are there not large curbs / speed bumps / sleeping policemen there?

Greg / Hurt MaGurt / Brabham9 #19 What does Short Pool mean? Are there not large curbs / speed bumps / sleeping policemen there? < I'll make a video of it. Those speed bumps and rumble strips can be driven over. Basically, anywhere you can drive the car on the track, do it.

Also, the 'large bumps'😜 don't affect the car whatsoever and the Sleeping Policemen have been pacified. Best of 1:35.7

lol things can get messed up here if you aren't careful. I'm going to get some testing some here maybe tomorrow to see how the layout works. Do the speed bumps not cause any damage if you keep driving over them and can you do so at racing speed or do you have to take them at reduced speed?

I take it at full speed (well, as fast as the corner allows). The 49C isn't affected whatsoever from what I could tell. I could feel the wheels go over it and is like when you go over the bricks at the Indy Start/Finish.

Right, i've tidied up some of that extraneous crap that was messing up some of the posts in this thread. No idea what does it but it's annoying as hell lol.
Had my first run out here last night. Just got in about 20 laps to get a feel for things and can confirm as TYler said that cutting those corners and going over the rumble strips has no effect on the car. Biggest issue is that it's pretty much impossible to race the AI as unlike Watkins Glen where you can avoid them easily when not using the chicane here they get badly in the way as they brake early for Ste Devote, Nouvelle and the Swimming Pool exit and therefore ruin your lap. I'll probably run my next session alone just so I can get some consistent running in as last night I only got in a handful of laps that were not compromised by AI at those places. Best in those was a 1:36.1 which is just a tad slower what Tyler managed so it looks like another where there could be some close times.
Hardest part of the track for me is Tabac which we are so used to running very fast in the modern cars but so far I have found you have to brake and take it in third or second to avoid drifting into that outside wall. That will be the main area of work for me in the next session.
There's going to be a lot of damaged cars around here I suspect so get used to running with suspension less than optimal lol.

I haven't had any running since the race on Wednesday last week. I wanted to get some running here in the 49C before i work on the indycar and F1 practice. I don't want to forget the feel of this car and then try to come back to it, but it's been so long now anyway.... I'll try to get some time tonight and see where i stand.

Are we going to race today or should we postpone the Championship until Pete is back in the game and we can try and fill some more grid spots?
We could do some one time events or something in the meantime

At the minute Tyler I am still hoping I can take part. I have tested my pedals twice in pCars since I opened them up for the second time and each time the brake spiking behaviour seemed to have gone. I have not had any proper practice here as a result of spending time trying to sort them out so am not in any way comfortable or confident and can pretty much only do a handful of laps before hitting a wall somewhere :/
As for filling the grid spots I think we have hit a wall in that respect and can't really see us finding any more. It looks like 4-6 is about as much as we can hope for. Not sure what is happening with the GSR guys that we had hoped would be racing with us regularly. Hopefully if 3 or more of them can join us regularly we can have a more solid grid over the remainder of the season.

I've not managed much track time since my first practice, just a handful of laps on a couple of occasions and the best I managed was a mid 1:37 in those which was over a second shy of where I was in that first practice. But it's been a real struggle getting any number of laps in without incident. I've had less than 30 laps and I reckon less than half of those have been clean. Tabac is still the main place where I struggle... and sometimes the kink in the tunnel sends my car screwy and the backend just loses it there.

Alright the event is on then! I haven't had much time on track myself but 1:36s and 7s are good race pace and where I'll be as well.
My fingers will be metaphorically crossed for you Pete that your race is incident free as far as pedals are concerned. 😉

Guys I hate to do this so late but I only got a couple hours sleep last night. I've got half a day of work left and I'm exhausted. It's doubtful I'll be on for this one.

Sorry guys but I have basketball tickets again tonight. Why the hell are there two Canadian basketball leagues?!?!?! There's the CEBL (which your team is in, and 5 others) and the NBLC (which the Kitchener team is in, and 9 others). Together there would be 16 teams, as it is now it seems silly.
