GPL help with Monaco and the chicane

Is it really possible to run competitive times at Monaco? I've tried tweaking the setup and I've practiced for two straight days, but I'm still 10 seconds off the pole. The biggest problem is getting through the chicane at high speed (like the c.c. cars can do). The margin of error at the chicane seems too hard to be realistic. Does anybody have any advice? James

What fps do you get at Monaco?? I found with low fps figures, you just cannot get enough control to get through the chicane at anything like racing speed. although I'm still way off the pole time, I can now at least hit the chicane at a reasonable speed. Hope this helps

In addition to system speed helping, I assume that you are driving over the left-side curbing. At least for me, if I try to jink cleanly through then I lose it; clipping the curbing gets me through with no upsets. -- Doug Gordon (remove "nospam" from e-mail address) >Is it really possible to run competitive times at Monaco?

If I don't lift, it's like flying a rocket through a keyhole!

He said "try not lifting completely." Of course you have to lift a bit. My only suggestion is to keep the right as long as possible. That will give you more room to play with as you fly through that keyhole :) I use the Ferrari and can make it 9 times out of 10.

That's no good in a ten-lap race... -- Spudgun

Did you set the follow-up to alt.jokes.tasteless?
