peanutt2000 79 Posted May 9 Any tips on how to take the Monaco hairpin? I’m driving on PS4 with pad 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bicarda 465 Posted May 9 (edited) stay on the right side. go a bit deep, and full lock to the left trying to take only a bit of inside kerb. don't go full over it cause it will have you go into the wall on the right, (because of angle and because of bumps) It's still a hairpin so take it like a hairpin: go deep and late apex. Example of late apex: But then to the left obviously 😉 Edited May 9 by Bicarda 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sloppysmusic 1,650 Posted May 9 Good diagram by @Bicarda Another important action is to time your turn to start either a split second before you finish braking. This is because while you brake the weight of the car is much more centered on the front of the car. This gives the front wheels much more grip so makes it easier to turn tighter. This is racing 101 and useful to know to get round tight corners better but especially needed at Monaco as this turn is the tightest turn on the f1 calendar! I personally take the turn a little deeper and closer to the wall than the diagram shows but that also leaves me open for a pass from behind. Can be very useful to watch F1 hot laps at the course to see how the real drivers do it. Good luck! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m driving on PS4 with pad Its important mate 1st place if you are using a Pad (me too) change the controller settings.. I Will give mine to you Steering Deadzone 0 Steering Linearity 10 Steering Saturation 12 Throttle Deadzone 10 Throttle Linearity 12 Throttle Saturation 0 Braking Deadzone 0 Braking Linearity 10 Braking Saturation 0 These i use in Multiplayer and had used before for about 4 months.. Actually i use these : Steering Deadzone 0 Steering Linearity 25 Steering Saturation 8 Throttle Deadzone 0 Throttle Linearity 25 Throttle Saturation 0 Braking Deadzone 0 Braking Linearity 25 Braking Saturation 0 Please give me your Feedback when you try it.. Start with Time trial and do some laps to feel the car and his behauvior.. What user Bicardia said its very important.. When you have a very tight and closest hairpin you should do a late turn in and a large line to gain Speed on the exit of the turn.. That technique you gain 0.2 or more sec per lap. Hope helped you mate.. Please give a Feedback about the settings Edited May 9 by CarlosSantos87 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I struggled in the sense of speed and confidence. I wasn’t hitting the barriers or anything like that I did well in that regard I just couldn’t get my confidence and speed up like I said previously. Thanks for your help much appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
