Season Points Race #1

Well, here's a test of commitment right here...
The first points race of the season on the same day we celebrate our fallen heroes by drinking ourselves into a stupor before lunchtime and head for oblivion before nightfall. And it's a street race.

The track
This is one of my favourite tracks in real world terms. Monaco has so much history, not only for the racing but also the harbour and it's floating palace collection. I've been there, and yes, the track is awesome, Loews  (the downhill hairpin) is epic in it's steepness, and of course no run off.
Anyway, of the track, old archive footage most of you have seen, an old recording of my N1 Skyline going large at the track...

Safe to say that the car was crazy quick for a road car. Though nitrous, ceramic turbo, tuner suspension and qualifying sticky tyres all helped of course - I miss that game *sniff*.

And some fantastic archive footage of ol' Jackie talking about driving there (pre air-conditioning I suspect)...

And here's a map as if you need it.

The cars
We're triple heading it again this week.
1. Clubman - I'll see if I can select a car that's as well suited to this as the TVRs were last week.
2. HRC460 - Last official race for this shorter season. They'll feature in the off nights of course.
3. GT590-4 - Note the "-4" folks. 4WD might be a good thing on this course.

Obligatory car pic:

Notes
Hold your horses, more than a normal race, we have tyre wear on. Perhaps that 4WD won't be so crash hot... Seriously, our GT590-4 race is 8 laps and it'll have the highest tyre wear on. I'd expect a munching car to eat through a set of tyres easily in that time. Mind you, max setting will still be racing/med for those cars and racing/hard for HRC460.
