Monza has 9, each chicane is 2 corners. You cannot go flat through both chicane corners.
Yeah, I think they will have to slow down for Turns 1,3,5,7,8,10 & 13. So I make that 7 slow down moments also.godlameroso wrote: ↑19 Sep 2020, 22:11With the car's downforce there are only 7 corners that drivers need to slow down and drive through. Even Austria had more actual corners and that's a really short track.
The brake pedal is only used once but you can't floor it through the apex of the second turn in any of the 3 chicanes, you must drive, ie control the throttle and steering, only after clearing the apex can you floor it, which is why I count it as an actual turn.NathanOlder wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 00:23Yeah, I think they will have to slow down for Turns 1,3,5,7,8,10 & 13.

Obviously Bahrain Outter will be less than this. Also, I have Monza as 6. I dont think in qualy the drivers would use the brake pedal at the second part of the Retifillio. Same for the Della Roggia. So I would say the brake pedal is used Once at Retifillio, Once at Della Roggia, 2 Times in the Lesmo's, Once at Ascari and once at Parabolica.
Bahrain Outter - 4
Monza - 6
Austria - 7
Portimao - 7
Interlagos - 7 (although no on calendar)
Also have Monza at 6. You have the first two chicanes, the two Lesmos, Ascari, and Parabolica.NathanOlder wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 00:23Yeah, I think they will have to slow down for Turns 1,3,5,7,8,10 & 13.

But you don't slow down which was what you said in your original post?!godlameroso wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 14:25You can't go flat on the second turn of any chicane at Monza.
Pretty sure drivers brake for the first leg and line up the car for the second, everyone is already on throttle and accelerating before the apex of the second leg of De La Roggia.godlameroso wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 14:25You can't go flat on the second turn of any chicane at Monza.
It's being repaved for the race, I wonder how that will change the character of the track.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑21 Sep 2020, 00:31Track has a lot of sharp dips. I forsee a lot of setup problems.
Chicane one, heavy braking for turn 1, no throttle lots of steering lock, feeding throttle on exit of turn 2. Chicane 2, heavy braking into turn 1, no throttle steer, until just before the apex, then feeding throttle on exit of turn 2. Ascari chicane, heavy braking, into turn 1, light throttle and steering(ie driving the car) before setting up the car for the exit.NathanOlder wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 18:23But you don't slow down which was what you said in your original post?!godlameroso wrote: ↑20 Sep 2020, 14:25You can't go flat on the second turn of any chicane at Monza.

Contrast this to curva grande, the car can take that curve any which way which won't stop the driver from going flat and essentially ignoring it as a corner.

Portimao let's you put on Monaco downforce and still get good top speed because of the nature of the track, sharp uphill corners helping braking. This allows long downhill straights.
