There is always FormulaE

Or Red Bull soap box racing

Some interesting points raised, personally I don't think it belongs in modern F1, the track is too tight and as Kimi rightly said "you can basically go as slow as you want and no one can pass you". It is just a procession and the only bit that was exciting was the pit stops which is quite a damning indictment imo. There are plenty of other tracks that would produce far better far more entertaining and enjoyable racing than Monaco. The big thing for me was listening to the commentators try to big up how amazing the track was and how brilliant the atmosphere was and how much history it had.... because there was nothing happening on track that they could talk about

The two options for Monaco as I see them is either rule change so all the cars are significantly narrower or drop Monaco

drop Monaco

Personally I think this, it’s a historic circuit and does not suit the modern cars

I’d have more fun and entertainment value going flat out round there in my Calibra than they do in an F1 car

Calibra was so aerodynamic it would have turned into a submarine when it hit that water

It’d have turned into a dinghy Craig

Thats because vauxhalls are awesome,at their peak in the 80s and 90s,
(with Novaa/Astra/Cavalier,Calibra Gte's,Gsi's,Sri,Turbos etc)
But just not appreciated enough

Corrected that statement, Ff/Andy

You missed off the Lotus Carton. Best Vauxhall ever made.
You probably couldn't over take that around Monaco in an modern F1 car either.

Too many to list,buzyg
Yes,the Lotus Carlton was an epic machine launched in the early 90s,at a price of £48k at the time,if I remember correctly...alot of cash back then, and still now.
Had a poster of it up on my bedroom door, in its lovely lotus British racing green.(Imperial green officially known as).

I met a guy who owned one,a year after they came out,up at Knockhill,though he wasn't overly friendly, and didn't want anyone anywhere near it...
Just wanted to brag about it and show it off room a distance I guess

It was nice. Got a closer look at one at a Motorshow launch anyway, the year before, so wasn't too bothered.
Would still love to own one for my Lottery win car museum
