I don’t think they’ve announced specif ribbons, but this sentence from the Monza announcement has me hopeful:
The high speed oval has been decaying for decades, deemed too reckless for even the most skilled of racers, but it still stands as a monument to racing’s past.
It’s certainly possible, especially with all the surface types in the game now… Could old, decayed track be one of the 148 surface types? I hope so and if so, it’s time for the 1960 f1 cars
I guess we’ll see, but I don’t see why they would want to mention it if you can’t drive on it. Obviously you can’t drive on it today, but I kind of took that as a possibility that it would be modeled and included (without the moss and grass overgrowing on it). But then again, I was hopeful that Spa would include the original course back in FM5.
To me Monza with the ring would be epic, without it it’s a bit dull.
But, correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t the oval still partially separated from the GP track? Looking at an onboard video and Google Maps, there’s a few walls to navigate around for the entrance of the oval, and a gravel trap separating the oval from rejoining the front straight.
That’s what I was thinking too. And even if he does have a green disk or something already, he’d be under NDA. If that’s the case and he tells us stuff he’ll face serious legal consequences. Hmm…
Looking at the ribbon count we’re a long way short of the 100+. OK, we could see some reverse ribbons to increase the numbers but at this stage somewhere like Monza could easily have 8 or 9 ribbons making the old banked track likely. Here’s hoping.
