I'm finding it impossible. I'm always catching the Front Wing on pretty much everything.

My first race at Monaco, I did the last 6 laps with no front end downforce at all. I had a VERY wide Lotus though and didn't lose position!

How long did you set the race distant?

I found Monaco in the wet easier than Monaco in the dry. You're more cautious in the wet, so there's less risk of damage. Managed to get a 3rd in season two there, in awful conditions, with a broken front wing endplate. Previous year I just kept crashing in the dry and finished way down.

Fakin' love Monaco - best track so far.

Find myself holding my breath sometimes when driving it. The fast left, right corners at the top of the hill are something else when you get it right.

One track I dislike so far is Malaysia - while I'm fast enough, I can't get a rhythm going. Spain (Cat) on the other hand, I love but keep losing tons of time in the middle sector and have no idea why.

I would probably love it more if I spent some money on a steering wheel

WTF MONZA?!?!

Why is the curb classed as corner cutting?!

ETA:

Just got my best qualify ever, Monza in the dry, managed 1:22.9 that's only a second and a half off rubens track record 3.5 seconds infront of the pack! (of course that will all change when webber beats me off the line!)

Love Monaco, probably my favorite track and that section is awesome!

Just got to Singapore in the career - what a fking ste track!

I normally pick up tracks pretty easy - I don't use the guiding line as I'm on expert but none of the corners have anything memorable about them for me to get a mental picture of where I am on the track - squirt, turn 90 degrees left, squirt turn 90 degrees right, rinse and repeat...

It reminds me of the Director's Cut of The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.

Just so many pointless runs up to a climax which never happens, then picks up a new story for no reason. Mainly, it just goes on and on and on and on and could have ended 33% earlier than it did.

Hahaha - excellent!

Mad really - I've just come off two 'poles to win' in Spa & Monza - awesome tracks that I love driving on, Lotus are now giving me a decent car and I think getting both pole and the win at each isn't bad on Expert level (if I say so myself).

Anyway - binned Singapore, can't be arsed, not when Suzuka is next. Went straight to the race and then smashed it into a wall at the first corner - happy to take the rep hit.

Am I the only one who likes Singapore??

So far, I've enjoyed most of the tracks - even those that are meant to produce a crap race have been fun - Bahrain, China, Valencia, Hungary etc... Not a massive fan of Malaysia. I'm reasonably fast on it but I find it hard to get into a rhythm.

Singapore is just boring and after an hour wasted, I can't think of a single redeeming feature about the track.

That said mate - if you like, who cares what I think

I think its exciting, its like monaco but more extreme, which is good in my eyes, I know where I am on the circuit at most times too. I agree about Malaysia, horrible horrible circuit, hard to get a rythem going and another point and squirt point and squirt track, very little skill involved at all.

Probably

I can't stand it, monotonous bland circuit where every other bend is a 90 degree corner that doesn't look any different to the last. It has no character or any redeeming feature that I can think of other than the marginally exciting fast left-hander before the start/finish straight. I've had more fun on an excel spreadsheet than this track.

Did you use the opportunity to take out Schumacher? I always do.

I take out Vettel. His driving is far to smug now he's a champ.

Im desparately trying to miss everyone atm, working on the get a point in every race achievement.
