Believe it or not I had never played on a console before MLB The Show 06. I was strictly a PC gamer and pretty much only played racing sims and Tony Larussa Baseaball from Stormfront Studios. I competed at a pretty high level with both Nascar and Grand Prix Legends from Papyrus back in the 90's.

Man you want to talk a brutal learning curve. Grand Prix Legends was no joke. Even for the die hard pros, that game would break you quick. Still to this day in my opinion, one of the best physics models and just brutal racing sims. It was basically the Demon Souls of racing games.

Imagine, if you all will bear with me for a bit, driving a V12 450bhp car. That is open cockpit, no aerodynamics AT ALL, barely any suspension on regular hard treaded tires. No pit stops, no tweaks to the car, no tire changes. Just you, the car and the track. Nurburgring then was a 14 mile course for one lap. People would crash and several died before the crashes were even found.

Whoever thought that Monaco was a good idea, should probably seek psychological help, or quit getting his drugs from Ozzy Osbourne. That is all.

Also on rainy races what setup do you all use I use preset 3 and cannot make it around the track competitively.

Ill say this, resource points are bountiful this year, but just wait until the upcoming season rule changes get announced in your career mode. You'll likely find yourself re-doing everything you already did in at least one department. You'll basically end up having to "adapt" every part you've upgraded to meet the next seasons new rules. That's going to stop your R&D development dead in its tracks likely. For me, it was the chassis that was facing rule changes. I had I think 9 upgrades through the year, and now am "adapting" those upgrades to the next years rule changes so I don't lose my progress. So I've paid for the full upgrad already, now you're into it for another 50%

My 1st win came in a fashion that I have never experienced before. In Canada, I was running second about 5 seconds behind Lewis Hamilton and 8 seconds ahead of Botas with half a lap to go so i was content on settling for 2nd. Then Hamiltons car slowed considerably going around the final corner and I went screaming by almost taking him and me out in the process. He as it turns out ran out of gas. Couldn't have been a tire as he pitted 7 or 8 laps prior. But I'll be more than glad to take the win. He ended up 4th. Behind my self, Botas, and my teammate Hulkenburg.

If memory serves (shaky, there!) I though that it's been said by some teams that the sport is outgrowing that track, in a way? It's too tight for today's cars to have any kind of real racing there?

But I agree, that track murders me, EVERY single year.

Think it's hilarious that the primary reason they stopped racing at Watkins Glenn (30 miles South West of where I live) is because it no longer met F1's safety requirements, especially when it comes to runoff areas and such. Yet Monaco literally has ZERO runoff areas hell it doesn't even have a shoulder. The wall to either side of you is the shoulder.
