Autodromo Nazionale Monza / Brianza Classic, Milan, Italy
GTR2 Conversion & upates by N2LO
Track Infos from Wiki :
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a historic race track located near the city of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy. Built in 1922, it is the world’s third purpose-built motor racing circuit after those of Brooklands and Indianapolis. The circuit’s biggest event is the Formula One Italian Grand Prix. With the exception of 1980, the race has been hosted there since the series’s inception.
Built in the Royal Villa of Monza park in a woodland setting, the site has three tracks – the 5.793-kilometre (3.600 mi) Grand Prix track, the 2.405-kilometre (1.494 mi) Junior track, and a 4.250-kilometre (2.641 mi) high speed oval track with steep bankings which has been unused for many decades and is now decaying. The major features of the main Grand Prix track include the Curva Grande, the Curva di Lesmo, the Variante Ascari and the Curva Parabolica. The high speed curve, Curva Grande, is located after the Variante del Rettifilo which is located at the end of the front straight or Rettifilo Tribune, and is usually taken flat out by Formula One cars.
Virtual Track Infos :
I did this conversion from rFactor as a request for Skyreen on NoGrip. It has working startlights, pit lights, working pacecar, pits, and rain reflections. The only issues I have seen with this track is the drawing of the trees as you get closer to them. I tried to adjust that but it didn’t help. It includes 6 layouts.
included are 6 layouts :
– Full GP
– Historic A
– Historic B
– Italian GP
– Junior
– Oval
Installation :
Just extract this zip into your “GTR2\GameData\Locations” folder.
If you find any bugs or problems with this track, just PM me at NoGrip or leave me a message in the forums.
Thanks :
Thanks once again to RacerM for his tutorial, David Noonan for his program 3Dsimed and his tutorials also. I would also like to thank Skyreen who did the beta testing on this track for me. Thanks to ISI also for the original track. This will be my last track for a while. I am working on some other things, but will get back to some more oval conversions real soon.
hi SiGi,
you pretty did a fantastic job with all these versions upload 🙂
Among these Monza versions there’s no trace of a couple of major features of the past
(keeping in mind that after 1969 the ” Anello alta velocita’ ” was excluded and there were no chicanes)
1970 there were *NO CHICANES AT ALL* (you do “Curva Grande” full throttle and approaching the “Lesmo #1” corner was daunting,
1971 as well as the corner today known as “Ascari” (the variante didn’t exists, it was rather an apex 5) that you cross full throttle
from “Serraglio” to the point that the “Rettilineo contro” gave wicked speeds when you get to “Parabolica”
and i can tell you for sure because i was there in that very sad day…
just think about that… the lap chrono for the deadly Lotus72 (Ford DFV 8 cyl) to beat was 1’14” (Ferrari 312B 12 cyl)
1988 at the end of the “rettilineo” (after the finish line) the chicane was actually a *LEFT-RIGHT esse* with very tall huge curbs
now, these points become important since there are still available the mods for years 1971 and 1988/1989, you know…
i’m sorry to say this, *BUT* parts of the modern version of this track were *often* recycled in this package…
could have been a great bundle if just the versions of the foretold years were included
hello marches,
i think this version was one of the first releases of this circuit (2007), there are some more versions of this track wich are more realistic done – I will put those versions back online in a few days, so stay tuned 😉
