Monza with the historic banking.. how cool When I watched qually this afternoon, I was wondering about this config.. it has some strange crossing I believe on the straight (to go from the regular track to the Oval).

Used this layout in GPL years ago, there is no crossing on the track as such, the banking goes over the normal track. You start on the right of the home straight, go onto the banking, which then exits you onto the left side of the home straight, and you carry on up to curve grande. Umm or at least that is how I remember it. The banking is rough as a rough thing If it's the same layout, you can easily get bounced into a spin. WIll be great with the big muscle car.

You got it right phspok. It is the old GPL layout converted to GTR2. I also raced another version called Briaza or something like that that had all the different configurations of the classic Monza track (Historic A, Historic B, Oval, Full, Jr, etc...).

The 1970 version for GTL also has the two layouts. We'll be doing the non-banked circuit in 2011 . Nice event Mike but can't we have an Italian car as well? Like the aluminium Ferrari?

I too thought about the 375 GTB Special, but it will be eaten alive here by the L88 and it's engine is fragile.

Hmm, not sure your right about either, but as I don't fancy driving either L88 I think I'll give this one a miss.

The roadster is more stable on the banking, but is not so fast on the circuit. The second banking after the start is a nasty thing, very hard to get into the baking at full power in the L88 COupe, easy enough in the Roadster.

Something says me that the Fuel Consumption is still set on X2 I give a try with the L88 Coupè, and I have to say that if you spend a couple of laps to find the right braking point this track is not so difficult. There are only a pair of hard brakes before the Parabolica, and another before the first of Lesmo. As Matt said, it's more challenging trying to get into the 2nd bankin of the high speed ring, but it's possible to get into it at full power with a right line and a good amount of luck I won't make it during the race! I guess it's enough to lift up a bit the throttle to be sure not to dive into the woods! Cu

I find the exit of the bankings more challenging than the entries. That is, once the tyres are warmed up. I also found that if you try to skip the out lap of a Time Trial session the game drops your car across the main straight and it then motors straight into the Armco. 2:39.3 is my best effort to date. PS I expected to have frame rate problems with this circuit as I always did in GPL. But this is not the case. I must put this down to the game defrag facility on Game Booster. Also, either the suspension on the vette is better than anything in GPL or the banking is a lot smoother.

I joined with the L88 Coupe. I remember VDA did a race at Nords where they used modified a Ferrari GTB Special. The L88 was in the same race. Could your L88 file be modified too?

I have only used the Penske Coupe, don't know whether there is an issue with the other ones. Would be nice to have something other than a choice of L88 yes, but it's hard to find something fast enough to be challenging and keep a balance I reckon. It's what you get for having an American running the series Banked track = big metal in the colonies you know MJ might include lots of beetles, and I would probably never have 911s or 906s and there would be lots of GT40s and Pantys, each to his own. I like using the banked Monza whatever cars we run, though it needs to be something fast or it's a boring trundle round Talladega. The Penske is fastest, but the roadster could be a more likely finisher. CLive's right about the surface, it is way smoother than the original GPL version which bounced you over the wall if your line was a centimetre off.
