Part 8

Pit Entry: Located to the right after La Rascasse. Expect slower cars entering the pits here.

Pit Straight: Follows the final chicane, fading right towards Turn 1. The Pit Lane rejoins from the left.

Turn 1: A left-hand corner requiring moderate braking, flowing into the Senna Curve. An early pavement patch is too far back to be useful.

Turn 2 (Senna Curve): A right-hand hairpin needing heavy braking. Be cautious of running wide onto the grass or cutting the corner, which can result in a Stop-Go Penalty. Acceleration is key for the following moderate straightaway.

Turns 3 and 4: A right-left chicane offering a passing opportunity. Turn 3 is tight and semi-blind; passing on braking is possible for skilled drivers. Turn 4 is easier, but overshooting the exit can lead to barrier contact. Overshooting the entry and attempting to rejoin can cause a Stop-Go Penalty.

Straightaway: After Turns 3 & 4, the course fades left. Light braking may be needed for Turn 5, especially in traffic.

Turn 5: A sweeping right-hand corner that can be taken at full speed, unless traffic is present. Hugging the inside too closely can put tires on the grass.

Turn 6: A left-hand corner requiring moderate braking to avoid the grass and spectators. Minor corner cutting is allowed by the CPU, potentially aiding passes. Leads to a short straightaway.

Turn 7: A light-braking right-hand corner. Avoid running wide on entry due to a steep hillside and barrier. Be careful on exit to avoid the left-side barrier.

Straightaway: Runs along the southern shore with a tall barrier limiting views. Begin braking for the next chicane after passing under the pedestrian bridge.

Turns 8 and 9: A right-left chicane. Overrunning it leads to sand and spectator grandstands. Moderate braking is needed for the tight right-hand Turn 8. Turn 9 is a gentler left, but overshooting the exit can lead to barrier contact or loss of control on rumble strips. Strong acceleration is crucial for the following straightaway and The Pin. Shortcut attempts here are strictly penalized with Stop-Go Penalties.

Straightaway: About two-thirds along, the course fades left. Brake early for the Casino Hairpin; braking after the second pedestrian bridge may be too late.

Turn 10 (Casino Hairpin): A tight right-hand hairpin requiring heavy to severe braking. It feels longer than it is, so use the accelerator judiciously until the track is clear.

Straightaway: After Turn 10, the course fades right then left. No braking is required.

Turn 11: Officially a corner, but the course only fades right here, requiring no braking. You should be in a high gear by this point.

Straightaway (Casino Straight): The longest straightaway, running parallel to the northern shore. Low-downforce setups are advantageous here. This leads to the final chicane and the Pit Lane entry. The Casino de Montreal is visible off to the right.
