Hi Arto,

Horrible?  Umm.  Maybe that's a bit strong.

To tame Monaco you need to watch replays to find the line/corner speeds.

When I started, I was driving Ferrari and just watched the fastest AI Ferrari.

After watching them, you get a feel for what is required to complete a lap :)

Monaco has some difficult braking zones so brake early and often :)

Jason.
