Monaco "ramp" into Tabac

Hi,

Is there any historical evidence for the "ramp"/"step" into tabac on the 1960's Monaco?. I've just watched "Grand Prix" again (awesome film) and it is not evident there in 1966. You can clearly see the interface between the tarmac and the concrete but no ramp.

 

Yes it was there, I see it in grand prix and you can see it in vids on YouTube up to 1970.

 

You can see it in this clip from Grand Prix at the end of the video. From the footage it seems to be a little bit smoother, but that is difficult to judge.

 

OK

 

This video is from 1970, you can see it still there at about 1:30.

The ramp in the game seems much more severe. You actually leave the road all forur wheels. That can't be right?

 

They never took it at the speed you do, he even clearly said that in the video.

 

Difficult to see there is a big ramp there, until you look at the fencing on the right side and see the massive difference in angle from the straight preceding it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DL_oQiThoQ&feature=related

 

Thanks for your comments Tim but in the video's the ramp is definately smoother and maybe needs some work in the sim for authenticity.

 

I respectfully disagree. When you brake for the length of time they appear to and go their speed it feels smoother to me.
