Probably you are trying to hard, I am no Monza expert (1:28:57), but you
should concentrate on getting the corner smooth, slightly slower than you
think you should and concentrate on getting speed OUT of the corner you will
definitely be able to break 1:30
Also try practicing at a few other circuits - eg. Watkins Glen, cause its
short and fun :)
Good Luck

It'll help you see straight away where you're losing time. Lesmo sounds
likely (try using 3rd gear out of lesmo 2. More traction less
wheelspin). Also exiting parabolica is likely too. I'd be able to get
into the 1.27's if I could get out of there faster :(
One more thing, which car? I have to thrash the knackers off the ferrari
to get a gnats under 1.30 but I can run low 29's all day in the lotus
and eagle.
Kev (1.28.41 - Got a replay if you want it)
and if you can send me your replay i would be greatful.

I've got pb's in different cars at different tracks. I can't drive the
lotus at zandy to save my life but I find it works best for me at monza.
On it's way

Obviously lesmo 2 is a big corner at Monza, because it's followed by a very
fast section, so your exit from lesmo 2 is very important. The key to
getting a good exit is to get your speed and position right in the middle of
the corner. It's very easy to go into lesmo 2 too fast.
Also make sure you are taking Ascari flat out, and try to keep the car
pointed to the inside of the track at the turn in for T1.

Yep, these are probably costing you a couple of seconds a lap at least. Turn
'em off!

3rd gear and gentle on the gas.

If you've only been playing a few months or so, keep goin', baby... GPL
has a lot to teach you!

so how much will my braking distance be reduce by?
