F1 2012 Monza Track Guide

Monza is one the most exciting track on the calendar. Fast and deceptively tricky, it is quite a challenge to put in a nice clean lap and break your previous record.

First of all, the setup is very important. This is a low downforce track, and it is very important to maximise your corner exit speed to exploit the low downforce setup on the straights. The yellow dot on the track, just before Turn 1, is the maximum speed the car will reach. If you hit around 340km/hr+, then you're set for a good...

Low downforce track? Did you not watch Jenson Button win over Vettel for what most think was his best race ever... with a high downforce setup.

Those long straights mean that a low downforce setup gets quicker laptimes.

Jenson Button hasn't ever won at Monza....He's finished on the podium twice in the last 3 years though.

Apologies you're quite right, my mistake! Don't know why but I was thinking of the Canadian race ooops!!

But I do remember Button chose a high downforce setup for Monza which was considered quite a different approach.

F1 2015 is going to be released Q1 2015. It is going to be "true" next gen game codies say. Over 2 years they have worked on that game. If it fails ..

The author of the article seems mad for whatever reasons that don't make any sense, the F1 racing series is a very popular which has had great success is sales from 2010 to now.

Can't wait to play F1 2015 in march/april if not mistaken (game is suppose to come out a month or so early before the F1 season starts).

It certainly has had great success, and that's not surprising, but that doesn't mean that we should agree with essentially the same cash-grab being shipped out year after year, regardless of how good it is.
