  Incroyablement difficile, je finis seulement 3 sec devant Steve. Les 15 derniers tours ont été terribles, je n'en pouvais plus.
Bravo à tous les finisseurs ... on a tous bien souffert.

Not again   

Results are up on the website, Von Trips Trophy will be updated later

Congrats Vincent, Steve, François, Philou and Simon    

Bad luck again Leo   

Miss-shift from 5th to 2nd in a 3rd gear corner, killed the car   Enjoyed my race, for the laps I ran for. Cheers Pascal, Francois and the others I battled!   

You drive correctly as ever, Jason, we have to wait a bit more to have more room to pass; anyway, no influence over our race.
At cost to pass for a complainer  , i affirm that the chicane is wrong, in this version of old Monaco.
I have seen several video on Youtube, and my impression is that distance beetween shores is too low.
Chicane is too narrow, and it's almost impossible to pass this trap at reasonable speed.
Also, in real world there is no sign of bumps or dips in middle.
All this elements make each lap a russian roulette  , with no margin to recover also a little movement different from ideal line, and this was cause of too many accident at this place, very beyond over probabilities have to be.
I hope will be corrections in future about this, Monaco 1967 appear more driveable and historically correct (as rFactor 2 version, that's the best  , imho).

oui merci Martin & HSO

this is simulation!! so hard to finish the race.

I had a good start, but had a first spin on the second lap which endommaged the front of my car. i was 4th but my steering wheel was not centered. After 10 laps and touching the wall a few times, it was just impossible to drive straight.

Congrats to the finishers!

quelle superbe version de Monaco, directly from "GPL Monaco rocks"!
rien que pour ça, je suis content d'être venu, un vrai plaisir

et pour la course, j'étais parti calme et serein, j'ai bien géré le début... et puis je me suis écrasé (gentiment) aux Gazomètres: voiture pliée, j'ai essayé de continuer mais c'était juste pas possible

mon respect éternel aux finisseurs

Moi aussi, félicitations aux finisseurs,

ils ont mon respect
