Monaco is the jewel in the crown. It's not a traditional race track in the modern sense. All the more reason to keep it, and bring more street circuits back.

Might as well call it the Tilke World Championship otherwise.

so we can watch more car parades :rolleyes:

Way to miss the point. It's a unique challenge quite unlike anything else on the calendar.

Maybe they should shorten the race time a bit or something. I like the track from a 'challenging' point of view and it has big heritage but there will never be overtaking there.

MagicBoy · 28 May 2012 at 21:57

Monaco is already shorter than all the other races. Standard length is minimum 305km, Monaco is around 260km.

from the driver's view yes

I'm a viewer and I don't agree with that statement.

Too many sharp knees and elbows for my liking.

BBC4 has a docu on Carroll Shelby - just started but guess you can catch it on iPlayer. It revolves around Le Mans and the fight with Ferrari

Great video here of a 2008 Sauber (BMW) cut in half lengthways and explained technically.

It's really interesting to see inside the fuel tank, and see how low and small the pistons of the engine are.

Great video, nice find, thanks Spunkey
