I tried driving a different Monaco track layout

I wanted to try and see if I could drive an alternative layout for Monaco, and with the Real Monaco track mod, I was able to see what kind of layout changes Monaco could have. This is NOT meant to be a better layout than the current one, just having some fun seeing what is possible. Inspired by the layout in Chain Bear’s Monaco video.

The extra turn before the tunnel, in my opinion they should drive it, because they have a bit longer straight an maybe more overtakes

and they should also remove the chicane at the end of it

[@ondraspendlik9759]

That could sure address the problem of being stuck behind someone, unable to pass them. Teams would have to watch the joker delta in order to not get stuck behind another car. Drivers could then use the clear space ahead to push for time and hopefuly jump their opponent when they take one of their jokers. It would honestly make it really complicated to call when to take a joker, another thing to think about apart from tyre strategies. But I guess that would make a Monaco win even more highly regarded than before. I see only 3 problems. F1, Monaco itself (F1 wants to change Monaco, but perhaps not with a joker lap, while Monaco doesn't want to change Monaco at all, either way, this is sort of a nice compromise between changing the track and keeping the original layout, as you're basically doing both), and safety. I'd say the joker entry is all wrong, since it would require hard breaking somewhere where people on the standard lap are going flat out. Perhaps if the track just continued straight on in the Casino corner, that would be better (there is actually a street there, if you look on the maps). Then it would join the joker lap shown here and rejoin the track at the same place. There would need to be a barrier so that cars can rejoin the track safely. Possibly not too much of a problem, since cars already swerve right to avoid that big bump on the left side of that straight. However, it would make the straight very narrow in that place, so cars battling on that straight can't go side by side, one has to give way, which could cause accidents (and in that case, red flags, since there would be absolutely no space to get through). It would also kill one of the better overtaking spots, into Mirabeau. The idea is great, but it has its flaws which sadly are hard or even impossible to fix, given the nature of the track. It's just too narrow and compacted and we have to rely on the very few streets and corners around the track, which are compatible with extending the current layout and which sadly cannot be modified in any way. This is about the only option for a joker lap that we have (the fact half the lap is ran by the water doesn't help). There is an option of placing it between the last and the first corner, but that would make timing awkward (and could be confusing if say a lapped backmarker is taking the joker when the leader is finishing the final lap). Either way, the extension just before the tunnel looks great (but obviously not as a joker, there's no way to rejoin safely).

[@mango2538]

To be honest, that extra part of sector 1 has a very wide section it could use, and become a brilliant ot area so cars can pass.

[@lorismantero6327]

You can't use use this part in reality. During the Grand prix, the "normal" traffic has to go through the hills, since the seaside is locked, and with this variant you would lock also the hills. Besides, there have been some new constructions around, so it's not as wide as it seems, and the Casino square will still be much more photogenic

[@gountzas]

This is the most accurate Monaco map I've seen. When there's no f1 race this looks super identical to real Monaco having visited the place and seen it with my own eyes. Props to devs

[@MonacoGaming]

Hello, Monaco guy here, as someone who lived here for 25 years i can say the portier layout rework is the only extension possible on track from a realistic point of view, but a good idea none the less i discussed that exact idea with friends at the last gp. Any other extension* would mean A LOT of issues in terms of logistic, and / or would cut essentials roads, plus it would cost a lot of money that im pretty sure the government don't wan't to spend on that for now.. The only drawback about the portier roundabout is that it would increase the top speed at the exit of the tunnel and i think it could be too dangerous, a shunt here with current speed is already scary lmao, one idea could be to fully remove the chicane and instead of only using the left lane before tabac, removing all the trees in the middle of the road and just use all the width of both lanes, could be a pretty nice passing opportunity conbined to the portier change, but you would have to widden and fully rework tabac or it will act as a funnel. That's the thing with Monaco any change you make could mean dead peoples in the cars of the grand stands and / or a lot of spending to do... So let's just choose the more logical option, leave Monaco alone, and stop making van sized F1, problem solved 😆

[@550LMS]

I would actually keep the original layout, but at Rascasse go left instead of right. Go along that harbor stretch and then into the cruise terminal tunnel (only that pole i the middle needs to be removed/modified (i.e. a metal structure on the outside with support bars), then accelerate out of the 2nd tunnel go behind the buildings of the new created track section, and re-enter the track at Antony Noghes. Creates PLENTY of extra space for more yachts that line up to view the race at GP weekend prices, and a very wide piece of track that could help overtaking.

I would like the new Portier section because: 1 Making it easier to drive an alternative line and stay closer to the front car accelerating towards the tunnel (the guy in front has has to balance keeping the inside closed on the one hand and maintaining exit speed). The guy behind can choose a line to optimize exit speed compared to his opponent, unlike the current Portier corner where exit speed will be equal. This way the second car will be closer exiting the tunnel with more chances of out braking. 2 Slightly longer straight allowing the natural slip stream to have more time (marginal effect is suspect). 3 Slightly higher speed approaching the chicane, resulting in longer braking zones and more chance of an overtake. (again marginal effect I suspect). 4 A nice flowy chicane added to the lay-out. 5 Cheap and realistic layout change.

[@Srokaldinho]

The part around Portier might be interesting, giving a bit more time to catch up and generate some overtakes around the harbour chicane. The rest...It just adds more pile-up-laptime.

[@igorrodrigues97.]

immagine the porpoising...

[@Snypa-007]

Thank for that Mitsos I had the same idea last year after the Monaco GP. Diversion 1: I though of having that as a joker lap as making it a new layout does not facilitate overtaking. Although having joker laps could over complicate things more with yellow flags/VSC/SC and penalties for drivers that did not complete the required joker. Diversion 2: The loop at Portier would allow a better exit for following cars going into the tunnel. Remove Nouvelle chicane and continue down J.F.Kennedy Ave turning left at Rte de la Piscine. Tunnel exit is ~9.5m wide J.F.Kennedy Ave ~6.5m wide. The planter boxes with trees would need to be removed and road resurfaced on Quai des Etats-Unis to same elevation as J.F. Kennedy allowing a wider road. This would extend the straight from Nouvelle chicane by 195m However I don't see the above happening as safety would be the primary consideration in regards to any alteration at Monaco. EDIT: alternatively introduce a ultra soft tyre compound that last around 10-15 laps forcing addition pit stops but giving drivers a huge mechanical grip advantage over worn tyres. Or.....get rid of the Monaco GP :-)

I also thought about this exact layout, especially the tunnel - i think it'd work since the bridge above bypasses those turns anyway for people needing to get around the city.

[@theunreadcomment9834]

Where you rejoin the track after missing Casino wouldn't work. This is where the "bump" is in the real layout, which isn't accurately depicted here, and it exists because that part of the road is a fairly steep junction/intersection. What I would suggest is removing the chicane after the swimming pool by swapping the grandstand to the other side of the track and creating a straighter run down to Rascasse with a 90 degree turn rather than a hairpin, you also wouldn't have the leading car swapping from the right to the left back to the right as the racing line goes now. They would stay left out of the swimming pool all the way into the braking zone leaving a small opportunity for someone to be later on the brakes down the inside.

[@Willie_Pete_Was_Here]

There isn’t an actual road there, but it is a large flat walkway since it’s right on the marina shore. So I think this would be an easy change to make.

[@nitelast]

As fun as exploring these alternate layout is, what people seem to forget is that monaco has been used in this layout, albeit with minor alterations in places, for 94 years. So at this point its there for historical prestige. Its a different story to the nurburgring and spa changes, they were more for safety being so long and so fast Also people never seem to consider that the size of the cars are the problem and its always the tracks fault. Formula e managed a great race there this year, yes the near-spec nature of the cars helps but also the cars being so much smaller than f1 helped even more.

[@alexrexlopezsebastian936]

If I were Fia i would approve it. Looks amazing and I agree with every people comments, longer straight, tunnel, more spaces to pass and fight, it would be awesome. Tho... F1 nowadays are massively long cars... So... We should cut and erase those corners where the F1s can't go "quite the speed".

[@shazmeister2005]

The longer tunnel “straight” is a great idea, would be annoying fiddly corners before it but worth it to lengthen the straight. I think the biggest issue is the chicane, move it back towards Tabac and widen it so it can get 2 cars at a time. Might need to sacrifice a couple of those trees along there which is is a shame but there’s plenty of space to do it. The extended bit before Lowes is interesting but I don’t think it adds anything, the streets aren’t any wider than the existing track. I think straightening out the swimming pool section and turning Rascasse into a hairpin at the end of a straight would help, not sure how you would do it as the swimming pool and grandstands are in the way but Monaco love filling in the sea to create more land so this shouldn’t be an issue for them. This would essentially turn the track back to something similar to its original layout where it was left at Tabac then a straight to the hairpin, was possibly called gas meter hairpin?, roughly where Rascasse is today then another straight(ish) to Saint Devote. Coupled with my idea for moving the chicane to Tabac it would turn Tabac into an acceleration zone then flat out to Rascasse where you may be able to overtake. If anyone from Monaco wants to put me up in a hotel for a couple of weeks and supply a healthy casino budget then I am more than happy to come over and discuss my plan for saving the Monaco Grand Prix in more detail 😂.

[@theunreadcomment9834]

I had a similar idea about the swimming pool section. If you remove the 2nd chicane then I believe you simply swap the grandstand to where the track is now and put the track where the grandstand is, this would create another overtaking opportunity into Rascasse, not sure much else can realistically be done without major works. The original layout (if I've read up on it properly) actually went to the right of what is now Tabac which is up a slight incline (now used in the short circuit layout) and then they turn left at the top running along what is now the pit lane (the pits were somewhere else back then). You would then turn right before reaching Rascasse, into the Gasworks hairpin, back onto the main straight.

[@AlpakaWhacker]

Same as a layout I drew up a couple years ago but the problem with it are some of the additional sections are just too narrow and wouldn't end up adding anything worthwhile to the circuit other than making it longer

I'm all for whining about history - I do it often - and if too much about Monaco is changed I'd stop watching F1 entirely, but I gotta say... That's pretty good. Especially the new section between Mirabeau-bas and Poitier. The "Top hat" section that bypasses Massanet and the Casino is a fun little section that F1 wouldn't bother with, but it's like a hillier "sector 2" section of Long Beach - from when they leave Oceanside up to the back straight. Not a bad effort sir!

[@guessundheit6494]

Add the fountain, yes, because drivers could stay closer and make a pass into the chicane. The rest of it, forget it. Try this instead: Coming out of Tabac and Piscine 1, make it a straight to the tight right hander at Rascasse.

[@Pshady]

[@PushpinderSingh89]

The only thing that remains in this layout is driver living in Monaco actually parking under they homes and having a cup of tea.

[@machecor]

Seeing that the run between the pool and Rascasse is actually a quay, could it be transformed into part of the track? Hear me out: - A tighter first pool chicane - A straight run from the exit of the first pool to the Rascasse crossing, probably wider. - Rascasse goes from a hairpin to a tight corner, not likely a 90 degrees corner but more a 110-degrees. That and the park deviation at Portier would be excellent for raising speeds and making a closer corner. Even it could help with the width of the pitlane going before Rascasse. Edited to add: I don't see the first part modification happening, as it would take the track apart from the Casino and the Hotel de Paris.

They were supposed to go until Beach Plaza Monaco Hotel and then return back straight to the tunnel. And another change that I would do also at the exit of the tunnel straight for a few more 100, 200 meters and then take a left to a new corner of the Tabacaria. How about you make this Part 2 video with these suggestions, MITSOS? It would be also great 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Having a look at google maps, the section before the tunnel could be an overtaking opportunity itself as the road is actually quite wide there (if they were happy to tear up the roundabout), or an opportunity to add a few more grandstands - either way it'd bring the action closer to the new developments too - i don't think the residents there would complain at all about that.

The first sector is devastated. The modified Portier doesn't solve the problem: 50 metres of extra acceleration don't create an overtaking spot. Moving the Nouvelle Chicane 150-200 metres further would do it (in a position similar to the old Chicane until 1971).

We need to get rid of that swimming pool if we want to return any chance of good overtakes. Reprofile for an earlier turn so there's enough run-off for the faster approach. I know it's a cool spot in quali, but the swimming pool is the worst during the race.

[@craigie13]

This is exactly the same as I envisaged, well done.

[@francyszz3]

Awesome layout, too much bumps tho. Also now you didn't cut the chicane on the last curve

[@Mitsos1311]

I don't think the road is that bumpy in real life, I hope not at least

[@francyszz3]

@@Mitsos1311 Got in mind the streets of Monaco in the sections that contain the circuit were flattened over the years. In fact the section between Casino and Mirabeau got a big bump that the drivers always avoid (that's why they never drive straight there). Tabac had a big and annoying bump too

@@francyszz3 I didn’t know about most of this, thank you!

@@Mitsos1311 You're welcome gurí, now since you're with the variants of Monaco go for the variant for Formula-e

[@MattiK2609]

Damn, the bumps in that extra bit between Massenet and Mirabeau look like they hurt worse than the porpoising probably does

[@aaqilnizam3374]

That looks hella bumpy the cars will struggle, but nice idea, longer run into the tunnel and chicane is very welcome

[@ozzypl83]

amazing...it would be great to see such layout as a new monaco gp in formula one callendar

[@eztanielltubio56]

The back straight at the tunnel before Saint Devote can be a mini DRS Zone.

[@vinceberat7753]

Apart from the huge bumbs this actually doesn't look too bad

Charles multi-tasking by going to the store in between practice sessions.

[@magicalrobster]

I've wanted them to go round that roundabout for years

[@OliveiraX]

Very interesting. I would like to see it without all the parked cars. It would yield a wider track with more overtaking opportunities.

[@CIAisntreal]

Imagine the drivers having to learn the new layout, it would be like jeddah (2021) all over again
