Utilizing the full circuit configuration just like the main layout, the key difference with the Grande layout is the removal of the T1 chicane at the very start of the lap. Well, dear reader, that day has come, and now it is time to share these two new configurations with the world… While we were out at the track earlier this year collecting the vast amounts of scanning data and reference materials for this project, we always had the intention to take some time out to look at the shorter variants of the circuit, with a view to bringing these into the main release a little after the full circuit goes live in the rFactor 2 Steam Store. With that, all said, we also recognize that as a regular host to Formula One racing and other International events, most of the attention around the Monza release would likely have been focussed on recreating similar experiences for yourself – namely the high-speed Grand Prix layout of the track.Īs we spent the majority of our initial development time looking at bringing this layout to life within the title, we also recognize that many drivers would be, like us, excited to sample some other circuit variations that exist at Monza, especially as these different configurations also suit a wide variety of car types that are perhaps slightly slower than the traditional top-level machinery that is often employed around the Italian venue. Already we’ve observed some outstanding feedback and reaction from the rFactor 2 community about the track, which fills us with a great deal of pride here at the Studio to see just how much many of you are enjoying the new release. Monza is absolutely one of the most well known and highly respected racing circuits in Europe, and as we’ve said in previous messages, we are delighted to finally have the opportunity to bring this track to life within rFactor 2 – helping us continue in our quest to add the most relevant, exciting and high profile content possible to the simulation as we look to further flesh out and expand your racing experience within the simulation.
