This is what Monaco looked like in the 1930s

Ever since its creation in 1929, Monaco has remained substantially unchanged, but the old Monaco circuit itself at least LOOKS a lot different than it does nowadays.
In the 1930s, there were basically no barriers and drivers were only inches away from the water. It must have taken a lot of balls to drive this death trap in the early days of Grand Prix racing.
This F1 2022 onboard lap is driven in Assetto Corsa at the Old Monaco track with Max Verstappen in the Red Bull RB18 challenger.

[@mathertom]

[@dereksbooks]

Very unrealistic. Max not even in the wall 😂

[@Dovoline3]

Using this layout would make it easier to overtake, especially with how big F1 cars have gotten. But the elephant in the room is, of course, the waterfront; have a particularly bad crash, and now you have to avoid drowning after going from 250 to 0 real fucking quick. F1 cars are hard enough to bail out of when they're on fire, but at least in that case, once you're out, you're out. If the car goes in the drink, now you've got water rushing into the helmet, and the longer it takes you to get out, the more water you have to swim back up through - again, all this after absolutely brutal deceleration forces.

[@Conrad_52]

ur an idiot. its be whoever can time DRS the best and thats it

[@timeluster]

Yeah, especially the hairpin last corner. I feel like they could get something similar now by just straight lining turn 15 to 18. I think they could do something different with turn 8 to extend the straight before the tunnel.

[@Mqtisse]

@@timeluster 15 to 18 they would have to remove a swimming pool, and even if they did that, same with a different turn 8, the speeds would likely get too high in places where there is no room at all for runoffs or other safety measures. It be cool, but it would probably require Monaco to change completely: moving the sealine/harbour further away along turn 8 (which would be a high speed kink towards the water with trees and walls on the other side); plus some runoff like the have at turn 1 at the new hairpin if they straight line the swimming pool.

[@timeluster]

@@Mqtisse 13-14 is the first left-right around the pool then 15-16 the right-left after it, so my thought would just require the temporary grandstand to move - but yeah, there isn't a run off - you couldn't even curve it to run off eastwards down the quay side because of an underground car park. Turn 8 would have just been to send them round the roundabout by turning left after 7. Gains about 60m of straight plus the run off through the chicane could be improved without the trees. The reality is that Monaco is a nightmare for safety and were it not for historical value, shouldn't be on the calendar.

[@Mqtisse]

@@timeluster yeah i totally agree, Monaco is a nightmare for fans, but i think its historical value is important so for that reason it should remain on the calendar as one of (if not the only) tracks thats been there since the relative beggining (kinda). Maybe they could transform it into a sort of show/parade race or like they have in cycling a criterium race, maybe with less or even no points towards the championship, idk.

[@Erik_The_Viking]

What a deathtrap - make one wrong move in the Novelle Chicane area and it's game over. Probably end up going swimming too.

Going swimming might actually be better in these old cars since they have 0 structural integrity on hits to solid walls
