The answer - overtake them, just as you would have to in order to gain a
place without the new rule !

Did it work? No, not really.

Yeah, mixed feelings.
Monaco has historical status as "the" race.
But actual racing has been almost impossible for years now. Cars are
too big for this narrow streets.
And nothing can solve this problem.

Did you see the old car alongside the new one? The old one looks like
a toy compared to the new one. Current cars are huge, too big for
these streets of Monaco.
