Favourite F1 circuits to drive in sims

Posters named their favourite F1 tracks for sim racing. Choices ranged widely: Spa, Suzuka, Catalunya, Hungaroring, Monza and Montreal for modern sims, and the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Rouen and Magny-Cours in GPL. Several said Monaco suits GP2 or modern sims better than GPL, where it is very hard.

I bet most people will say Monaco.

Got to be Hungaroring for me, you have to wrestle it all the way round.Monaco is good in real life due to the atmosphere but that is lost in the sim. Adrian. http://www.epiphone.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk ".." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I bet most people will say Monaco.

Cataluyna is the best. No chicanes. Chicanes ruin a race course. Catalunya also has second, third and fourth gear corners along with two long straights. The circuit also has elevation changes. To me, the circuit has a "flow" to it, a rhythm. Second has to be Montreal. This track, for me, is just fun. Another place that has a "flow" to it. I could never get into Monaco. ****************************** Dave Pawlikowski [email hidden] www.sportriders.com ****************************** ".." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I bet most people will say Monaco.

I absolutely LOVED Monaco in GP2. Since GPL, though, I can't STAND it... Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction...

I do love Monaco; I usually have more success there than any other circuit, especially in modern sims such as GP3 or F12KCS (tough nut to crack in GPL, though); but I still prefer Spa or the Ring.

Modern stuff, Albert Park, Australia (ok, I'm biased!) I like Watkins Glen in GPL cos I'm fast there, the 'ring for the challenge to end all challenges :) Rafe Mc On 02 Nov 2001 07:40:41 GMT, [email hidden] (..) wrote: >I bet most people will say Monaco.

Spa in GP3 2000 because of the white-knuckle corners like Eau Rouge and Blanchimont (although I dislike the Bus Stop intensely); Nurburgring in GPL because it's about the only thing that gets me to concentrate for 10 minutes at a stretch! GMF
Hmmm... Monaco is up there for me, but I'd have to cite Magny and Rouen for their sheer drivability. They both have so much flow. Then probably Suzuka, Spa, and Imola (With the real Tamburello.) for the technical dedication it takes to drive a sweet lap. Something about getting spoon right really makes me feel good. -- "Racing! - Science for the action minded." mark ".." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I bet most people will say Monaco.
Most of the bunch only knows Monaco. Why? I don't want to know. For me It was the Nurburgring (Nordschleiffe in GPL or Sudschleiffe in GP3) that's the most addictive to me.

Monaco has it's charms because of it's long history, and it's so unlike every other track, it requires 110% concentration to even finish a full race.. something only the aliens among us can achieve, eh Tom? :) But you say Sudschleife in GP3? Does it work under GP3 2000? You have an url for me please where I can download it? Andre

Oh.. I thought he meant the real Sudschleife :( Andre
