If people think it's too boring to run F1 cars around there due to the lack of overtaking, perhaps they should have a MotoGP race there instead.
Can't see the MotoGP boys being too keen (most of them anyway) but I'd bet the TT types would love it.Watch the first few minutes of the film "Grand Prix" if you want a flavour of Monaco in the 1960s. It was shot during the 1966 season.
Sadly, the following year Lorenzo Bandini was killed at the chicane when his car hit the straw bales just after the chicane exit, flipped over and burst into flames.
The picture above looks like practice for the 1965 race and that is one of the Hondas.

Would it help if the chicane after the tunnel was removed? Was it always there?
It was always there to some extent, but it used to be just a very fast flick as they switched from the tunnel road onto the quayside.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
