How much has Monaco changed over the years? Could you use that track for comparisons sake?
The overall technical objective in racing is the achievement of a vehicle configuration, acceptable within the practical interpretation of the rules, which can traverse a given course in a minimum time. -Milliken

There have been quite few changes to Monaco over the years - from Ste Devote to Portier has hardly changed; the Tunnel is longer but the alignment of the road is much the same. The chicane has regularly changed in position, width and severity. The loop round the swimming pool was added in 1973 or so. The; layout of what was the Gasometer Hairpin which is now the La Rascasse - Anthony Noghes section was changed when they somehow managed to squeeze a pit lane in. The roads will have been resurfaced and possibly re-cambered. Tramlines, lamp posts and some of the trees have gone. So, the same but not the same. There's a French language website with loads of photos from1927 to now - but I've lost the bookmark.
Thanks for the graph, it shows how progressive the increase in speed has been.Duncan Rollo

In terms of best lap times, I would think the 2004 cars were quickest. In terms of outright speed, the turbo era of the 80's saw some rediculously fast cars doing almost 400 km/h at Monza!

TBH I dont get why some places have anti-cut devices when other identical kind of places allow huge cutting and the throwing of dirt all over the road.
