So many of the curves look the same

😂

Damn now I can't unsee that 😂

I remember Vegas they had to stop becuase the drivers got vertigo

Yeah the track map might be misleading lol

I have to say looking back at that years, and seeing how safety has developed in modern motorsport, it's just impressive.

1981 saw the introduction of the first ever carbon fibre monocoque F1 car

@@Spyker8921 Yes, the McLaren MP4

John Watson is a very relevant reference. The man did most of his F1 racing through traffic. Could assume he is a good barometer for how much "competitive racing" a track does/doesn't supply.

Do you mean "the beginning of the end for F1 in the US"?

@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 My comment was initially about F1 in general, with the US composition being a good example of _"how to make a blueprint for absolute failure"_ (to make the sport even less popular), but yeah - I didn't really think of the US influence of F1 since it was (and still is an all gone conclusion of failure) of something that burned into the ground years ago. *The American Front:* Living in this godforsaken land of nitwits who are strung-out-on-stupid with ball & stick sports was one thing to accept; the fact that Nigel Mansell wasn't even known here until he signed on with Newman - Haas was even more evidence as to how deplorable the US is when it comes to international motorsports. Abandon the Glen for Vegas?... I'm not sure if that was more absurd than the 1989 demolition of RIR (Riverside International Raceway) for the sake of establishing a community called _"Moreno Valley"_ - which eventually turned into a ghetto/South Cal industrial center. Anyways without wasting more of your time, mine, or anyone else's, I'll come to the point that the US is totally incapable of recognizing F1 as an important sport - outside of FOM and the "nice" new COTA circuit. HAAS is a good factor to squeeze in too but it's all a little to late to get in this game (the prestige of F1) when F1 really mattered. Since 1981 or so, the US has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to promote F1 racing. Nothing. I know because I been stuck in this goddamn country to witness it. *The International F1 Front:* F1 itself is in trouble, and has been for some time. Technology has overwhelmed the capacity of driver input/talent so much that the sport's survival appears to meekly survive on controversy and vanity alone. In other words headliners these days are more about personal/abstract affairs than about advancements of teams or circuit capabilities to FIA regards. Viewership was down recently and for numerous good reasons; the sport was corrupt by greed, numerous scandals and inevitably the very thing that made it popular - technology. Not to mention the absurd configurations of what the sport recognizes as _"circuits"_ nowadays. Quiet frankly I will be surprised if F1 exists past 2030 or so, since new generations of people are arriving that will undoubtedly have new ideas to find other forms of entertainment outside of paying ridiculous amounts of money and attention to a series of motorsports with predictable results & personalities. Same goes for NASCAR, IRL whatever regulated sports car series that are in place. SIMS racing will become more popular. Modern motorsports entanglement of greed, warped personalities (be it drivers or FOM itself) and technological-advanced dominated teams will eventually kill the sport.

Thank you! Your support means a lot for us! :)

Yea i know, 80 Km are a lot ahahaha

I live halfway between these places. Outsiders don’t know Riverside or anything in San Bernardino County or Riverside County. Remember the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? A ridiculous name.

Ikr, it feels like a years old well matured channel with millions of subs, it will get there though, the quality is out of this world

This aged like fine wine... They made the event bigger this time around. Which unfortunately will probably mean an even bigger fiasco. Now they apparently don't even have enough safety marshals. 99% of the budget went for the *show* .

This comment aged like milk, the racing was the best it has been all season

Thank you so much! :)

Thanks! :)

I don't know if this is a joke but Indycar got some great road tracks. Road America Watkins Glen Laguna Seca etc Much better than the boring F1 tracks aka the Tilkedromes except few decent ones

I wanna see Indycar at Spa and Monza. That would be perfect

I think the indy car drivers were probably better at putting on a positive attitude than the European drivers. The indy guys are generally happier drivers

Thank you mate! :)

It was Patrick Tambay. He was driving Ligier, replacing the Jabouille who did not recover from his 1980 injury. In this crash, he was lucky enough not only to survive but to come out of the accident only with a bruised left ankle.

Yeah Abu Dhabi is probably one of the biggest contemporary failure in terms of entertainment

Yeah, I thought it would be Dallas too, because of the heat and the way the track started to come apart.

??? What the h*ll has that to do with this video? Also, whining about anything, especially from fools who seem to lament the glaring contradiction of their own perceived superiority being threatened by "lesser people" , certainly isn't the hallmark of anything but the lowest of *chimps* .
