You can now race both the Curva Grande and Junior layouts of the famous Italian racing circuit, as both are included in the new rFactor 2 Monza update v1.21 available to download now. Studio 397 released the track as DLC at the end of June, and have also responded to feedback from sim racers with various improvements.
Changes include updating cut detection, some graphical fixes and improvements, and preventing AI cars swapping lanes on rolling starts. But the main news is that you now get two alternate layouts for the circuit.
If you’re not familiar with the various configurations, the Junior layout links the grandstand and back straight with a series of curves, so you turn right before the Rettifilo chicane. And rejoin the main circuit after Ascari, meaning just the Curva Parabolica from the normal circuit is included.
It’s more suited for smaller and lower powered race classes, and still gives the chance of slipstreaming along the straights.
Whereas the Curva Grande version ignores the Variante del Rettifilo chicane, meaning you can potentially go flat out from the Parabolica to the Variante della Roggia chicane.
