Track - Monaco
I don’t know why, but I decided that I would use as many odd numbers in this tune as possible. Maybe it is because of the car’s odd behavior as I was tuning it, or maybe it was because I was tuning at 3 a.m., but that was the decision and I am sticking to it. I hope that all of the test drivers turn lap times ending in odd numbers and that their fastest lap comes on an odd numbered lap. If you can’t tell, I went from loving this car at other tracks to just thinking it is an odd little ride at Monaco.
As for the tune, the goal was to make it easier to drive than stock. With the massive amount of power from the 427 cubic inch engine and the light weight of the shell, this car is a handful to drive. One way to help improve test driver focus is to cut down on the number of shifts required on the tight, twisty Monaco city course. My tune is really intended to be driven as a three speed using only 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. I do not recommend ever using 1st gear. First gear in a race car is only meant to be used for exiting pit road, post-race burnouts on the way to the winner’s circle and to load the car on the trailer. I made 2nd gear really tall in order to cut down on corner exit wheel spin. I also built the gear box to allow the testers to use 2nd gear from Tabac (turn 12) all the way through Louis Chiron (turn 13), Priscine (Pool turn 14), turn 15, 16, La Rascasse (turn 17), turn 18 and Anthony Noghes (turn 19). Plus, 2nd gear can carry you through turn Sainte Devote (turn 1), Massenet (turn 3) and Casino (turn 4) then the 5, 6, 7 and 8 section. Less shifting should allow for more driver focus on hitting their marks.
