2, the track Introduction
Monte Carlo track vision
Monte Carlo track is a track with a long history,Located in the city of Monte Carlo, Monaco F1 Grand Prix is the oldest tournament in history. The track is a street to the track, F1 track and has the slowest corner and the only tunnel. Track length 3.340 km, F1 track is the shortest one, but it also has a F1 track in the slowest corners, the track is narrow, and winding, overtaking difficult as the main characteristics of driver technology put forward higher requirements . Due to strong tricky track, suspension and tires are important, this race is the winner of many riders dream.
Since 1911, began to be held in Monte Carlo Rally, then you can also do this bet in casinos in Monaco. Monaco Grand Prix debut in 1929; the second will have to wait until 1950, the scenic city streets of Monte Carlo has 49 times as the F1 Grand Prix circuit. There are no bleachers, some residents even proud to say that he is standing on the balcony of his home to watch the game. Here is the street usually wait until the race was coupled with a protective wall to form a temporary track. It is for this reason, this track since 1950 almost no changes have been made. Monte Carlo is the most favorite drivers a race.
in the history of Monaco, the most successful racer is undoubtedly “Rider,” said the famous late Ayrton Senna. Senna won the title here was 6, he is to win the record for the most points at the same station, which will also include five-peat from 1989 to 1993, and then another win in 1987. In 1993 Senna and Nigel Mansell battle before the end of the lens is one of the classic Monaco Grand Prix, Senna result of 0.215 seconds at the checkered flag ahead of Mansell, this is the history of the car in which the championship gap a minimum.
3, the track characteristics
Monte Carlo race track
Monte Carlo track is very twisty and constriction, is very challenging the opportunity overtaking is very low. High downforce is required to achieve maximum grip, the drivers of technology put forward higher requirements. We can say that the Monte Carlo street circuit is one of the most challenging F1 race track. According to statistics, MonacoMonte Carlo track the fastest speed can reach 270 km, and sometimes only ran 40 kilometers per hour. Both sides of the track there is no buffer, you want to overtake here is basically impossible. Meanwhile in the streets because the game, the team’s gas station is also very small and narrow.
drivers to be very careful here, mental focus and precise car control is the key to getting good grades. Wheel racing will be very close to the crash barriers, one race, takes an average of three thousand block transfer times. The starting point of the Monte Carlo track is provided on a section of the right to accelerate the arc, there is a considerable risk, an accident-prone areas.
4, technical requirements
Button race track in Monte Carlo
Chassis: Since Monte Carlo smooth track surface, and a larger gap fluctuation when the car came to the Monaco F1 race, the technician will usually reduce the height of the chassis rises 5-7 mm to ensure the car when cornering at the same time to have excellent stability, but also to avoid Schumacher at Spa in 1994 due chassis excessive wear of the situation eventually fined disqualified.
suspension : In order for the car to get a sufficient mechanical under pressure, team technicians often use softer suspension settings, so make the racing more bumpy roads and when cornering stable, especially after the tunnel, the car need to use the curbs to aid cornering, which requires adequate suspension travel to absorb shock. Therefore, suspension settings will be good or bad drivers confident cornering ability during the game, the key to make a success of.
aerodynamics : Monaco is the highest annual race track racing under pressure requirements, which will determine whether the car when cornering pass and get a high Apex speed, where mechanical pressure than the pressure aerodynamic package provided important when the car brakes and fuel to ensure smooth output traction also tune the focus.
turned : Monte Carlo’s most famous track than Grand Hotel curved corners, and this is the slowest of the year aTurn, the driver in this direction need to be completely used up, and the range is twice the Circuit de Catalunya. The team will usually focus on hanging on to the front turn plays an important role in order to avoid the driver locked the tires.
tire : Monaco also made slower tire wear is reduced. For this reason, Bridgestone will provide this race the super-soft and soft tires two kinds of tire, the softer tire formula to ensure riders get enough grip in the slow corners, but how to avoid rear wheel [123 ]
Monte Carlo track satellite images wear and tear is serious concern the team.
Transmission : frequent acceleration and deceleration are accustomed to Monaco, racing performance in the low speed is very important. According to statistics, in the Monte Carlo track to complete the circle needs to shift 53 times, and the number of shifting the entire Grand Prix Drivers also up to about 4150 times.
engine : You can say, Monte Carlo is the annual competition for lower engine requires the track, full-throttle proportion of 45 percent let him enjoy the “slowest race Road “in the title. Although less demanding on the engine, but the team needs to pay attention to drive the car if there is a problem in the corner, put the car engine at the rear of the lower it will be damaged. Stability and traction in the slow corners of the output will be crucial.

France contest Le Mans 24 hours, 500 American Indian Naples, Monaco, Monte Carlo RALLY, Monte Carlo GP, and called the world’s four well-known events, of which Monte Carlo accounted for two deep origin of Monte Carlo and the car seen in general. Monaco GP is a very historic race station, the game is in Monte Carlo streets closed, the past half century this track hardly changed, riders its assessment hate everyone, but in any case it is still one of the most challenging of the F-1 race track. Some people describe driving a F-1 on both sides of the fence is a Monte Carlo street race there as difficulty in the living room open like a helicopter, it is possible to make a small mistake rider crashed into a guardrail call it a day in advance, so that only the top riders can win here, but also riders to win the Champions League as Monaco is a lifelong desire.
6 followed by racing speed of 273km h Beau Rivage straight uphill road /, and into the fourth speed 210km / h of Massanet left curve, and then decelerated to a second speed 120km / h Casino bending slides, G here value of up to 2.2, followed by a short straight left here some ups and downs is a hidden murderous road. Then followed by the driver is braking down to second speed 64km / h Mirabeau by bending, then immediately Feet brake light throttle through a speed 45km / h in the Grand Hotel curve, and then slid over the second speed homeopathic 72km / h and 1 speed 64km / h Portier two consecutive right curve, the most famous downhill acceleration immediately into the tunnel right turn, this track up to the maximum speed Monte Carlo 6 speed 290km / h while 2.6G G value can also be reached, and then by immediately braking the driver chicane Nouvelle.
4 is then accelerated to a speed 225km / h and further to the third speed 152km / h Tabac by bending. After a short acceleration to deceleration curve Piscine two sections, first to fourth speed 176km / h into the first group of the chicane, and then to the second speed 112km / h through the second set. Period of acceleration is then reach the fourth gear segment 193km / h, and then down to the first speed brake Feet 40km / h by Rascasse hairpin, then accelerated to a second speed 112km / h by Anthony Noghes last bend, followed by a final acceleration red line operation, to complete a single lap.
6, the evaluation
Alonso in Monte Carlo race track riders on the track mixed evaluation hate, but no matter what, Monte Carlo street circuit F1 track is still the most challenging one. There are fans describe and drove in F1 both sides of the fence is a Monte Carlo street race there as difficulty in the living room open like a helicopter, it is possible to make a small mistake rider crashed into a guardrail call it a day in advance. Therefore, only the top riders in this to win, but also a lot of riders to win the Champions League as Monaco is a lifelong desire.
Michael Schumacher: “This is a mistake that can not be some track, the car set-up must be very careful to deal with the characteristics of each track of my experience is stability. Monaco is the most important aspect. “ride high-powered F1 car 78 times through the narrow streets to complete the challenge in this race for the drivers is really a full stimulation. No wonder people known as the Monaco Grand Prix F1 “jewel in the crown”, where drivers inadvertently won the championship will be “watching high” fans a grade.
Felipe Massa: “I admit, this is not one of my favorite tracks, on driving pleasure, I prefer the kind of fast track such as speed, Istanbul Park Circuit. , Barcelona Sarki track and track. “
