Race Descriptions
Novice:
Welcome to historic Monza! The 2nd oldest closed-circuit still in
use, and it's fast. In fact, the fastest track on the entire schedule!
At the start, you've got a long run to the first turn, use it to get up
front. Like in the real thing, the first chicane causes shunts which
could end your race early. If you survive the first turn, you should have
no problem taking the win. But take note of Variante Ascari, turning in
too early will lead to hitting the curb and sending you out to mow the
grass(I've done that so many times, it isn't funny). Tyres won't be a
factor, so C's are manditory.

1993 LF1: Metzler 1h22m25.486s (11.7.1993) (100%)
Pro:
All you speed demons will enjoy this race. The AI is always tough
here, but your 825 horses should give you a slight advantage. Get a good
start, don't get involved in any first turn shunts, and you can win this
race. Use caution in a slip-stream, at these speeds, it won't take you
long to close in. Tyres will be fine, so start on C's.
