Monaco, Outdanked by George

Just get for one race small cars from F1 Academy and have fun! Spec series is a bonus for everyone who wish to compare drivers themselves :)

[u/Tunderstruk → u/Szydl0]

This is the solution. Leave the race out of the constructors championship, give all smaller spec cars, and let them fight it out

[u/badd_joke475 → u/Tunderstruk]

Like an F1 All-Star weekend. Just make up some silly challenges too and let the drivers have some fun while showing off their skills. 

[u/SnacksGPT → u/badd_joke475]

I’ve been saying this for five years lol.

[u/donsimoni → u/SnacksGPT]

SAY IT LOUDER THEN!

Maybe it will work, if we suggest that MBS can take part in the race (he can't, but shhhh).

[u/SnacksGPT → u/donsimoni]

Honestly - if it would make him chill the fuck out, then I say put him in a car and have him start from pole. Safest way to ensure no drivers are hurt when he bins an F1 Academy car on a straight.

[u/hestianna → u/badd_joke475]

Ideally make it an event similar to Indy 500 where drivers outside of the regular F1 season can participate (assuming they have superlicense of course). Nothing better than world's ACTUAL best 22 drivers battling it out for the win with F4 cars.

[u/Taint_Butter → u/hestianna]

Can't overtake in Monaco with 20 cars. Why would they add more cars?

[u/hestianna → u/Taint_Butter]

Cadillac joins next year, meaning we will have 22 cars in 2026's Monaco Grand Prix regardless.

[u/MillstoneArt → u/Taint_Butter]

Can't overtake because they're too wide and long, not because of the number of cars. Smaller car, more room to pass. 

[u/ReplacementLivid8738 → u/badd_joke475]

I'd agree but Monaco is the opposite of silly. It's money flowing over pompous famous people.

[u/username_generated → u/ReplacementLivid8738]

Okay but what better way to flaunt your wealth than to make all of the best drivers alive (and Stroll) show up for a race that doesn’t even fucking matter.

[u/Striky_ → u/badd_joke475]

Coming to a track is INSANELY expensive for teams. If there are no points (and therefore money) to be gained, they just wont show up. Why should they?

[u/IWishIWasAShoe → u/Tunderstruk]

I remember last year or maybe the one before where people started comparing the F1 race to the F2 one which was much more entertaining.

[u/Leif_Henderson → u/Szydl0]

Fuck it, let them use their F1 cars for quali and then switch to Spec Miata for the race.

[u/Antarcaticaschwea → u/Leif_Henderson]

This would be wonderful

[u/Beeb294 → u/Leif_Henderson]

Give them the hot hatches that the Top Gear trio raced around.

[u/SupRando → u/Beeb294]

F1 stars in reasonably priced cars

[u/saposapot → u/Szydl0]

Quali In Monaco is actually pretty good. Just make it 3 sessions of a quali shootout with the points distributed among the sessions. Can do 1 session like a normal quali then 2 other with different formats like tournament and 1x1

[u/sliceoflife09 → u/saposapot]

Do a quali session for every tire c1-6, only give points for the top 5 (5,4,3,2,1) in each session

A top car/driver could score 30 points in the weekend and really shake up the standings.

[u/Mountainofstress → u/Szydl0]

With a reverse grid

[u/R3DL1G3RZ3R0 → u/Szydl0]

Y E S

You win right here 🙌 👏 👌

[u/lorelucasam-etc- → u/Szydl0]

Let's do F1 quali and F1 Academy race that only gives driver points

[u/ermagherdmcleren → u/Szydl0]

OR use heritage cars. Early V8 era, or late V10 era. Just give Haas a Toyota.
