Guys, i'm sure we all know how to race and what to have in mind. I just thought that Monza is a special high speed track with much more slip streaming and long braking zones, so i want to remind us the following thing:
The mod simulates the loss of downforce in the slip stream very well. This lower downforce automatically increases the breaking distance! Of course at Monza the effect is much bigger as usually.
The most critical situations will be the first lap, especially heading to the 2nd chicane with a huge pack of cars.
There are many parameters like cold tires & brakes + slip stream of many cars + much fuel + cars in front going slower through chicane as usual which forces everyone to brake much earlier then usual. And the more cars in front, the earlier we need to brake.
I'm pointing this out so clearly, because all of us did much testings, but very often (me too) on their own and not in a pack of cars. So i hope no one gets surprised by this effects in the first race situations. :wink:
Again, i don't want to suggest anyone he didn't know about this. I just want to remind us of it.
