Huh? I've only ever seen 2 - well, 1 and a half, racing maneouveres in the tunnel - both this season, and both ended up with a big sign saying 'don't do that again'.

Off the top of my head I can't think of a single overtaking point on the circuit, except for maybe Mirabeau & the chicane & only then if the driver in front totally outbreaks himself and drives off the circuit.

And surely you remember about 4 years ago when Coulthard got stuck behind an Arrows for about half an hour and just couldn't get past despite being a vastly superior driver in a vastly superior car?

Yes, it's got a great atmosphere but the racing's the worst in the calendar.

I actually like Indie the best; although I hate ovals -- sooooo boring -- the F1 circuit is great because of the overtaking opps at turn 1 coupled with the way you need totally different set up on the infield from the stretch on the oval, meaning the compromises you make for one part of the lap might give you a racing opp on the other.
