Advertisement Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Hi abrewer, Take a look here Indy/Monaco RaceDay Thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LuxBob Posted May 29, 2011 Share #22 Posted May 29, 2011 The great thing about the Indy is that the handling and power of the car plus the skill of the driver are reflected in performance on the track. The problem with Monaco is that it is difficult enough to negotiate on your own in a Fiat 500 let alone with 20 odd cars with enough power to get the Nimitz hydroplaning and there is no possibility anywhere to decently pull out and overtake. The only possibilities are those that are close to suicidal and those that are beyond suicidal. The track is too small, narrow and twisting for modern racing such that Hamilton seemed to have a red mist day in wanting to take as many people off the track as possible. It's fine if you are comfortable in the "Hello darling mwoh, mwoh set." and as this is mainly for their benefit I suggest they introduce monster truck racing with hairy chested men and lots of oily rags so that they can say "Oh my Jessica did you see that man and his tattoos I wanted to faint but instead ... or in other words didn't think much of Monaco and never have.
