Monza Track Guide – Steam Solo

Overview

With this guide I intended to define brake zones for each (brake needed) corner and the apex of the corner you need to kiss with the mean speed; to be able to get better times and get ready for the next corner within Silverstone circuit.Thanks Yorkie065 for the permission of his video guide to be written here.You can subscribe his channel and have benefit of lots of other tutorials from => HERE <=

Overall Track

Setup suggestion: Low downforce, soft suspension
Overtake areas; T1 / T4 / T8 / T11

Here is a overall map of the track;

Thanks to Yorkie065 videos for this awesome guides; you can watch full video here;

Also Unleashed drivers has good guide too;

Variante del Rettifilo Chicane

Yo can enter this chicane with 1st gear; 70 KPH and within it you will slow down to 60 KPH.
Aiming for a good exit speed here will gain more since there is a fast curve after this.

Brake zone starts before 160 meters to the turn in area.

Avoid large orange turtle kerb here as it will ruin your approaching second apex thus your over all exit speed to Curva Grande.

You may want to stay off the throtlle between this lurking point and the second apex.

Within the second turn of the chicane touch late of the apex, don’t go under 60KPH however and keep away of the orange sausage kerbs.

Curva Grande (Biossono)

As stated earlier there isa fast curve after the first chicane and starting this fast curve as fast as possbile will decrease your time graphic a lot until to the next brake zone.

On dry conditions with GT3 you can go completely flat out but within wet conditions depending on your rear downforce you may need go off a little of the throttle.

Della Rogia Chicane

Braking zone start at the 150M board and slow down to 2nd gear about 90-100KPH

This chicane entry is the same as thi first one but you may be faster;

Touch the second apex within the chicane about 100KPH;

Lesmo 1

There is a relatively short straight after the previous chicne
There is a few reference for brake zone but you can look at the last sitting bench on right.

At the apex you can touch with 135 KPH.

Lesmo 2

50M board here to help identify our brake zone;

Touch the apex at least 130KPH how ever this kerb can unsettle some cars.

Variante Ascari Chicane

No meter boards but you can reference orange painted fence on the right as brake starting point.

Arelativley fast chicane compared to previous ones you can touch first apex around 145 KPH;

Out of this turn you can keep throttling (without braking) for the next turns as speeds increased shown below;
