I pray each time I approach the chicane. It works!
I remember this problem from ICR2 at the Australian track - from the driving
style that chicane is pretty much the same as the one in Monaco. I thought
it would help to watch the AI doing it, but in either game that doesn't
work.

?  A *bit* light?!?  That's like saying the Titanic was a big ship...<g>

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

On the throttle?  Hell, I'm scared to have my foot even NEAR the pedals in the
chicane.<g>

Well, you VERY quick to me.  I'm only at a 1:41...  In GP1 and 2, Monaco was
one of my favorites, if not THE favorite.  Not any more...now, it's just one
step above Nurburgring and Zandy.
