Old Monaco track?

AQny older version of the Monaco track ( ±1980) available on the net?

Nop, the older one is from 1991 track pack.

u can't get the old chicane/ no chicand

The Monaco track in my 1991 track graphics pack is just Bruno Gourdo's earlier Monaco 2001 track with some different graphics. The track configuration is the same and is not quite correct for 1991 because from 1986 to 1996 the entry to La Piscine (the swimming pool) was slightly different than what it was changed to in 1997. However, this change was so picayune, that it is probably virtually unnoticeable to all but the most observant, and it scarcely seems worth the effort to make a technically accurate 1986-1996 Circuit de Monaco, as this very small difference in the track configuration made very little difference in the circuit or the laptimes recorded on it.

It's a different matter entirely with the 1976-1985 Circuit de Monaco which still had the old chicane after the tunnel, rather than the much more severe "Nouvelle Chicane" that was constructed in 1986, and slowed laptimes very appreciably.

No one has made this 1976-1985 Circuit de Moncaco for Grand Prix 3, nor any other earlier years' versions of the Circuit de Monaco, which had further greater differences from the current circuit.

I remember one guy called Nik at the Track Editor forum. He tried to make it then he got a new job at then so he dropped the project.

Did your birth certificate come with an apology letter from Durex?

I seem to remember there was an old version of the Monaco circuit made for GP2, could this be converted to GP3?

That one has the old chicane. It also probably has the old swimming pool entry, but the difference in that is so slight that it's hard to tell.

GP2 tracks are much less detailed and accurate than the better GP3 tracks and converting them well to GP3 is not at all easy. I strongly suspect that much better results could be obtained by modifying Bruno Gourdo's Monaco 2001 GP3 track into the earlier Monaco circuit.

No this one doesn't have a chicane or a swimming pool, it goes straight on after the tunnel. It's the circuit layout last used in 1972. I've just had a look at it in GP2.

Cheers Stu

the problem with the gp2 track is the graphics on it on an out of the box conversion (not stripped) go all teh way cross tehtrack
