Probably licensing issues. Maybe conflict with Codemaster's F1 2010 - who knows?
"Cote D'Azur" means "Blue Coast" and refers to the area from French-Italian border until St.Tropez or so (this includes Nice, Cannes, and Monaco obviously.
Have been there on a bike trip. Really nice places though a bit too much touristic nowdays.

Cote D'Azure is the generic term for the surrounding area, Monaco is the country, Monte Carlo is the town... Whatever it's called it's a really poor version of a famous race track.
It's too wide in this game, surface is way too smooth, corners are designed wrong in the game and they didn't even bother to update it to how the real Monte Carlo/Monaco/Cote D'Azure looks like now.

Prost's face at the end is priceless. A "How the F... How could he..." face.

It's a bit retro the Monaco on GT5... the chicane after the tunnel seems to have much bigger kerbs than I can remember but more noticeably the whole swimming pool section is totally different than the circuit in real life on which the first chicane is very fast whereas on GT5 it's wide and slowish like the older configuration.

at 00:35 is my favourite moment. Exiting the Lowes hairpin Senna steps on the gas, the McLaren starts to oversteer and he makes the correction with one hand so naturally and on the other hand he is changing gears.
These drivers had BALLS, not like nowdays F1 kids.

People seem to be getting confused over the region's cities. Monaco is both the country & the name of the quarter on the peninsula. Monte Carlo is the upper quarter; the circuit runs just around the bottom of it. La Condamine & Fontvielle make up the west & south quarters.

Well, Monaco is between France and Spain. It's a state-city.
I had a funny moment playing with an american.
He saw my french flag, so he said :
- Hey mate, where do you come from ?
- "Finland", I said just for fun...
- Ok, and that's Europe, rigth ?
- No, dude, it's in the east of Russia, lots of elephants and lions there.
- "Yeah, I knew that", he replied, very seriously.
Me and my friends laughed so much after that that we couldn't drive anymore...

Todays geography lesson, class, will be about Monaco:
(From Wikipedia)
"Monaco (i /ˈmɒnəkoʊ/), officially the Principality of Monaco is a microstate located in South Western Europe on the northern central coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is surrounded on three sides by its neighbour, France, and its centre is about 16 km (9.9 mi) from Italy. Its area is 2.02 km2 (0.78 sq mi) with an estimated population of almost 33,000.
Monaco is a constitutional monarchy and principality, with Prince Albert II as the head of state. The House of Grimaldi has ruled Monaco since 1297, and the state's sovereignty was officially recognized by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861. Despite Monaco being independent, its national defence is the responsibility of France"

Monaco isn't a part of France - and Paris is just as equally as posh, if you visit the posh locations.

If they used the "real" Monaco, it wouldn't be allowed in the game. I think it is close enough though. And I wish they would/could do this with other real-world tracks...create a close facsimile, but not close enough to get into trouble.
So to the guy complaining about it...just be thankful for the track.

Monaco would be between France and Italy if it reached the Italian border, so it is essentially an external enclave (as it just borders France and the Mediterranean).Well, Monaco is between France and Spain. It's a state-city.

On the note of that American, I am sad to see how taxpayers' money goes to help our American children learn that Cape Cod is somehow south of New York City.

Hi, Monaco is in fact a Principality, in the South of France, it's run by Prince Rainier, he married a Hollywood actress named Grace Kelly many years ago who became known as Princess Grace of Monaco, i was at the 2010 F1 grand prix there, not much of a race, whoever gets poll position, usually wins it, but it has a fantastic atmosphere, going back this year, i hope this has helped.
