Famous corners

  • Tamburello

    A fast chicane on the run along the river. Too much kerb and you lose the exit.

How to drive it

Several chicanes punish too much kerb: take enough to straighten the car, but not so much that it unsettles the exit. Tamburello sets the pace for the run along the river.

The perfect lap

In Lapdle you choose how to take each corner, and the car drives your line with real physics. The perfect lap is the fastest line the model can find; the medals are set just above it.
