Comments: This track can be raced in two configurations the “normal” 5 corner Monza or the 10K that adds 2 large banked corners.  The first first lap here may be run on the 10K and then final two laps run on the normal course.  The normal track is fast and wide all the way around.  The 10K is fast and mostly wide.  The banking section is 2 wide all the way around, but it is also the fastest section on the track.  If your car is fast enough, you could exit the Parabolica, accelerate to 180mph or 160mph, spend 2 wear in each of the banked corners and travel 69 spaces (including the front straight) at top speed.  You need a fast car here and should be able to get by with minimal braking capability.  While racing on the normal track, make sure you have enough of wear left so you fly through the Parabolica on the last lap.  Always remember that a car drafting another car going 180mph or more gains two spaces.
