Just raced at Monza, but....
May 01, 2008

..but was cycling race


Clicky, start was 1 lap in the Monza circuit, and the arrive, for my race after 150km was still 1 circuit lap.
My first impressions FROM the track? I was there many times to watch F1 tests or LMS or WTCC but being on the grey line with the 2 lines is much more different!
Strights are shorter than what they look, and it's not so narrow as in our sims, for example the little stright from Variante Roggia to 1st Lesmo is almos unnoticeable.
Turns are very banked, especially Lesmo 1st, and Lesmo 2nd is an harsh turn, something like 80°, Curva Grande is veeery banked too, much more than Parabolica. Tarmac is very big, not very fast for road bikes tyres. Another thing is the downhill at Serraglio, in GTR2 for example is very fine, but after there's a slighlty uphill too before Ascari.

Software incompatibilities (funny read)
Mar 28, 2008

NEED OF HELP FROM A DESPERATE COMPUTER USER:
One year ago I changed the software GIRLFRIEND 7.0 for the software WIFE 1.0 that soon gave us the software BABY 1.0 that occupies a lot of space on the disk. Instructions say nothing about this!
What’s very worrying is that WIFE 1.0 auotinstalls on all my applications and launches itself by default when I open another application, ALWAYS stopping the system.
So applications as BEER WITH FRIENDS 10.3 or SOCCER SUNDAY 5.0 doesn’t work anymore!
Sometimes appear a virus that calls itself MOTHER IN LAW 1.0 that blocks the Operative System or makes WIFE 1.0 behave in dangerous ways. Even worse is that I cannot launch anymore the application SUNDAY NIGHT SEX 3.0 and it seems that also the file SEX SATURDAY MORNING.EXE are infected by viruses because they give no answers at all.
I’d like to uninstall WIFE 1.0 and reinstall GIRFRIEND [... more]

WTCC at Monza 7.10.07
Oct 09, 2007

It was a nice event, International Formula Master and Gt Open as support races.
WTCC races were very nice, 1st race I was in a overcrowded 1st chicane tribune (52000 sold tickets in 2 days), so I moved to a less "spectacular" tribune. Race 2 watched at Parabolica.
Great emotion and surprise when they made me park on the old straight at the exit of the the north Banked curve and walked on the Florio concrete Straight to get inside the circuit.
Unfortunately my free ticket hadn't access to the paddock, where there was a Simbin truck (I counted 6 or 7 driving cockpits), Yokohama give worn racing tires for free(!) and you can see from close cars and drivers.
Not to spoil the results, but Monza seems good for Diesel engines (after Peugeot 908 win this Spring).

Some (not so good) photos:
