If they drove now... the '67 grid on the modern Monaco Track

Hi people

For my amusement, and perhaps yours, I've calculated how fast the F1 grid of 1967 would be on the modern Monaco track. For the calculation I used the good old GP3, in combination with Gp3edit and Gp3 advanced physics calculator. What I did was test the settings on another classic F1 track (Zandvoort), modified untill I had the exact poletime as in 1967, and then transfered the data to the new Monaco.
Please discuss (for example: how much influence would or should the 2006 tarmac make compared to the 1967 roadsurface?)

The browser has screwed my tabs a bit, so the grid looks strange. To be clear: The pole would be 1m 37.938s.

Is that better? (Press "quote" to see how it was done ;) )

Will the real Chris Amon please identify himself?

Jo Schlesser here ???? I dont understand

two of him, and he still couldn't win a GP!!!

Oops I made a mistake. **** does happen!

The point is that the drivers changed a lot during the season in 1967... Ferrari for example did not show up in Kyalamy, and when Bandini crashed to death, the came with three cars to Zandvoort.

Please forgive me. But please do believe I put a lot of effort in the grid calculation. I even used the Autosport top 50 for it...

I don't get the question about Chris Amon...

Darn!

Thanx, I was looking for ages for that button! Just looked at the wrong places!

I was just thinking that the Chris Amon at the back of the grid probably achieved even fewer GP wins than the one near the front.

I get it now, about Amon.
I also corrected Rindts and Rodriquez time. It appears I used their actual qualifying time in the 1967 Monaco race for my first calculation, which put them a bit ouf contention. I used the Top 50 recently published on Autosport as part of the equation. Furthermore, I believe there were only 18 cars on the grid in 1967.
