Same rule everywhere: At least two tires inside of the white lines at all times.
Or... we could run the 80's version of the track which has less of the extra green curbing on the inside of the corners. It would solve the problem of the first two chicanes.

It depends on the track and where the issue is. A place like Silverstone where the issue is usually on exit is where I'll be a little more lenient. But the problem at Monza is at the corners itself, so with that I'll be a little more strict with. But most tracks in general aren't too bad.

great. I usually always try to keep two tires inside the white line but once in while when the tires are worn sometimes its only two tires on the rumble strip. I would not do that lap after lap of course.

Yes there is! Now debating modern or 80's, because I've never run a race in the 80s track before...

It's a lot faster and flowwy, typical of a good 60's, 70's and 80's F1 track

Okay, just a few things for Monza this week.
I may have slightly over exaggerated the fuel race thing. I don't think you can make it without a fuel stop, but it's not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be in preseason testing. Even so, management of the car will be important as always.
Also, after some time on the track last night, I've decided to lighten up on some of the track limit areas. The big one if the Variante Ascari (the left - right - left chicane before the final corner). I will allow two wheels on the red and white, two on the green on the inside of the first corner, and at the chicane's exit. All other corners I think will be alright,
Just a note: That first chicane on the 80s track tightens up very, very quickly. It's easy to go in too deep and run someone off if you're trying to make a pass on the inside. I, as well as a few others, made that mistake a few times.

All good mate! Passing in certain areas is actually a little more difficult on this layout. You need to be more precise with how you pass someone.
80s! With these cars, the opening few sections have a nice flow, and it cuts down on the extra green curbing on the inside of the first two chicanes.

I had been practicing on the current Monza track all this time! 
Nice flow on the 80's track. should be a hoot tomorrow.

I hadn't decided until last night, so I was the same. At least everyone's on the same playing fields.

Okay, just had a realization because I finally looked at a calender.
What does next week look like for people? It is Easter, and I just realized that April has 5 Thursdays. If some of you can't make it, we can start the racing on the 9th.
My apologizes for this, I literally just learned this 20 seconds ago.

As of right now I can't make the 2nd. Being 1 of only 3 bartenders at my restaurant I will be covering shifts of the other two bartenders because they took Wednesday through Sunday off the week of Easter. This is subject to change, but that is how it is looking right now for me.
