That looks like a perfect trip - extra points for the wine on the beach and the balcony view of the track
We did it for 4 years straight - but then sadly had to grow up NB: the tracks' soaking wet for F2 right now, it's hilarious, and pointless watching them hoon around and endlessly shunt into the barriers.

Like you said, time to make it happen again...

Sadly I can't watch it right now - I'll catch up later. Can't really see the point of going out as isn't the rest of the weekend meant to be dry? NB: the tracks' soaking wet for F2 right now, it's hilarious, and pointless watching them hoon around and endlessly shunt into the barriers.

wasn't it because Friday was the Bank Holiday
I think they claimed it was "market day". Just an excuse to keep the high-rollers in town for an extra day.Bernie put a stop to that twenty odd years ago and made them keep it on the last weekend in May so they could organise the race calendar more consistently. It took them a few more years to move practise from Thursday to Friday, which made sense because more often than not it was no longer landing on that Ascension Thursday bank holiday.
Well this is random

Such an odd choice for the local rag to go with - just wait until it's actually happened

Why dont they flatten the bump after casino?
Is there pipes under there?
That would create a potential dive oportunity into the first hairpin
Yes, apparently there is a large drain under there so they can't easily flatten it out.Is there pipes under there?

So, Monaco...anybody going this year?
I'm not tempted to go. I found Monaco itself a bit underwhelming when I went and with the current very quiet/huge cars I'm pretty sure I would be disappointed at a modern GP. I might go for the classic one year and maybe if the current mumblings about making the cars lighter and noisy again come to anything (post-2030) I'd consider it.
Will be at Monaco partaaaay this weekend....Cannes earlier and observed all the gown and tuxedo clad film goers at lunchtime. Must be arty types

What was the change that forced the need to start avoiding it?

I enjoy quali at Monaco
The 'race' is almost always almost impossibly boring. That said, there is of course the Indy 500 to look forward to later on.

Watch for strong thunderstorms; humid with variable cloudiness; storms can bring flooding downpours, hail, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes
I usually buy the NowTV Sky Sports day pass and watch both but I'm not so sure this year.Would love to see Leclerc win it.
