nice video mate. agreed a lot. tho i think you put the american flag for hockenheim lol

I think elevation change is also something that makes things so much more fun and intresting

maybe just my opinion but elevation also is a big upgrade to many tracks (interlagos, spa, nurburg ring ... ) or the bankings in Zanvoort. Great Vid!

Honestly way better than I expected from someone with your sub count. Super underrated, can't wait to see where you'll be in 6 months.

One more thing that makes circuits such as Interlagos, Spa and Suzuka exciting is the high chance of changing weather conditions.

They could "upgrade" so many circuits with these ideas, like they could make the straight in Hungary a bit longer, and make turn 1 sharper, and making the middle sector slightly wider

Production quality wild for 400 subs, keep up the good work!

I say all this before watching: 1) A wide variety of lines that can be utilized in varying scenarios at multiple areas of the track 2) Curves that allow cars to "get wiggly" at speed when racing 3) Turn 1 chaos 4) Elevation/grade change 5) Unique corners that present a challenge drivers won't see on most tracks (think the Zandvoort banking or cota t1) Some less controllable variables: 6) Proximity to unpredictable or changeable weather conditions 7) Car size. Bigger reduce the amount of turns that can be interesting 8) Pirelli's not being ass 9) Championship stakes. Part of the Interlagos magic is that it historically has been a key WDC and WCC race where people make or break a season. A return of the older points scoring format would aid this, as every race becomes important.

If u ask me, Zandvoort, Silverstone, Bahrain, Hockenheim and Brazil are/were the greatest tracks for racing. Never a dull race and there’s always overtakes/ controversy. Would love to see Hockenheim back on the calendar, great circuit

under 1000 subs and a video this great?! it's not often you uncover these gems!

RedBull Ring is a worthy mention. I haven't seen a dull Grand Prix there in the last 3 years.

4:23 thata true ! I always loved the China GP . That huge long straight , the long corners that never end ... so great to drive on and battle ! One of the few tracks where actually can battle the new cars

Fair point. If you want exciting racing at most of these current F1 race circuits , you're going to have to make the cars smaller and lighter, like they were during the 2009-2016 seasons.

I finally went to an F1 race last year when I went to Monza. Now it probably helps that I’m a Ferrari fan, but it was the coolest experience of my life. The actual experience of watching the race isn’t as good as on TV, but the atmosphere is completely unbeatable. You gotta go to one at some point as a fan, it’s worth it. This year I’m going to COTA, already got my tickets, and it’s my new goal to go to at least one race a year. Planning on Canada next year.

How do you only have 749 subscribers? Such high quality content!

Dude you are so underrated! Dont lose determination you are going to become famous by the 2024 abu dubai grand prix i bet

Great vid! Was caught off guard when I read about your sub count in the comments - your content feels mature, natural and rich but easy to digest. At first glance, I would’ve assumed that you must’ve had over 100k subscribers although I suspect it won’t be long if you keep dishing out content at this level. Keep it up!

I think Las Vegas is a interesting track because it is quite wide for a street circuit and contains several long straights that go ingo heavy breaking zones that make for great racing in the current era of racing

I think you've done a great job with this video, but perhaps when looking at those three main actors like Interlagos, Spa and Monza, also mentioning Silverstone, maybe Suzuka would be very good to include in this as well. The racing in itself does suffer a bit due to the many sweeping bends, but I guess that is a whole category in itself. Looking at tracks that basically get all the satisfaction (viewer and driver alike) on Saturdays could be another one to look at. Being a Seb fan all the time I watched F1, I have always seen Suzuka as my one favourite track in F1!

Awesome video for someone with less than 500 subscribers. Underrated af

Honestly? for this amount of subscribers I wasn't excepcting this good of a video! Great production, a lot of charisma, intresting, helpful. Love it!

Really good Video Buddy I was enjoying watching it. Keep up the great work!

Very informative but easy to follow. Well done

This video was extremely well edited. Extremely underrated channel

keep working hard brother your content quality is in the level of the high 700-900k subs content creators zone, I'm sure you will rise!

Absolutely Beautifuly made. Absolutely huge huge Production Quality for your size! I am always exited to see new quality F1 KZfaqrs, Keep it up!

Just came after suzuka this year and honestly it is a really good circuit IMO. Degner 2 is quite the challenge it seems and I loved it when you can see someone passing over the top and someone under. That final chicane seems to also be very fun after immediately coming off of 130R.

This Chanel is underrated, Such a good video Keep up!❤

4:55 The festival like part you mentioned is one reason I’m so excited to go and watch the 24 hours of Spa this year. I’ve seen and been told that it really is like a festival with a race going on along side it. Although we all go to watch the racing, it gets boring if that’s the only thing that you can do and there is to see. Adding more festival like attractions and other aspects anyone can interact with off track elevates a GP experience so much

Amazing video mate! Another great track that you forgot to mention is Redbullring, it has amazing racing

how the hell you have only 650 subs😂, great quality video, deserves atleast 200 000 plus👏

Commenting for the algorithm, great vid btw

Honestly was surprised to see the view count. Amazing quality. See you in a year from now, probably more than 100K subs. Keep pushing content champ 🏆

Nice videos man! Keep up the good work and your channel is going to the moon! I'll be watching :) Greetings from Cape Town

Elevation is also quite important. That's what makes interlagos turn one and eau rouge so compelling. Just look at the corkscrew in Laguna seca. Wish we had more track variety. Kyalmi would be sick. And I know it would never happen because the track's not wide enough but Bathurst would also be fucking awesome.

Wow I was very surprised when I saw you had less than 1k subs, your content is very high quality

i love the video, keep the hard work up. personally i think that one of the main problems with f1 and its tracks getting boring is the money aspect. in todays f1 it´s always about the money that’s why amazing tracks like turkey, germanys hockenheimring and many others aren’t on the calendar anymore.

Gained a new subscriber. This video was great! Can’t believe you only have 500 subs. Keep it up!

Tldr tilke knew what he was doing. They are all very similar but they are designed to create good racing. Long straight into a wide snail looking section is the best racing we get.

🔥🔥 I will be looking forward to ur progress. It’s like Josh Revell Redux but I think ur vid is more straight to the point than his. Big up

Great video, cool accent, interesting topic. Keep it up!

Hi @jakemorganGP great video! I know it's a Grade 2 circuit and not on the Calendar, but what do you think of the layout of the Kyalami Circuit in South Africa?

This is amazing I thought you would have like 120K subs! I think in 5 months you will get 20K But don’t forget me pls

Mate you literally deserve ur current subcount x1000, great video 👍

I'd also add elevation changes to the list of what makes or breaks a track. Elevation changes make it more difficult for drivers to judge breaking zones, which benefits the more daring drivers.

Yo dude loved the video, think the point you made were 100% true. Keep up the grind and it will only be a matter of weeks before you hit the 1k mark.

To me even if the race is almost always boring as hell, there are two things that is entirely part of the Monaco Grand Prix that shouldn't be overlook : quali, and strategy. Watching quali in Monaco with every car scratching the edges and trying to gain half a tenth to each other is something incredible. And then on race day, the strategies used to optimise pace and keep the position is always what guides a loss or a win. Monaco is a great grand prix if you don't look at overtakes as much as the whole weekend strategies

This video absolutely nails it. Great video mate.

100% agree with everything. I hope F1 tries to go back to more circuits instead of street tracks. Of course there's action on most street tracks (Vegas was great) but it doesn't feel like true F1. There isn't much that beats F1 at silverstone or Spa, especially with the size and weight of the current gen we need to stick to tracks that actually fit the car.

this is what i say. A race can be interesting even if one dude is running ahead but two blokes behind is fighting for championship but it will not be as interesting if the dude running ahead is also the bloke running ahead in the championship even if the whole grid at the back is fighting

For me the best track is Barcelona. I am biased of course because I live very close to it and my first F1 memory was to see my idol win there, but it is also very fun to drive in the simulator and it brings out the best performance of cars. The racing is average but only because the cars are like tractors, so large.

I went to COTA before drive to survive got popular and it was awesome. There was still room to walk around back then

I agree with everything you said. I'd love to see Monaco widened in some way while keeping current profile. It would be amazing with the elevation changes and the overtaking opportunities if it was made wide enough for modern F1 cars. Dare to dream though.

I've subbed, your content is great. You NEED more subs

Bruncle jake shares his wisdom.

Good vid, and I enjoyed the recent one on WEC. For tracks, Japan is hard to better. Maybe not wide, but it has the rest.

Not one mention of Austria is crazy. You could’ve added it in almost every category. But still a great video!!!!

Monza. I've been there twice and loved every second. Even if the fan experience at Monza is horrible with ques everywhere, the weather, the Tifosi, the food and gelato makes up for everything

I'd argue we also need some better on track cameras. In addition to the racing not being close, the cars look really slow on screen sometimes, especially when they going through shots of the same corners and straights each lap. They need to mix up the live editing more. More of the trackside cameras on the ground, and more onboard camera shots. The majority of F1 viewership is at home so it should look more exciting for the viewers who can't make it all the way out to a gp

Damn, Jake! You’re cooking with this one.

the thing is tho with tracks like spa, they really have to keep the balance between exciting vs dangerous racing, especially when there are f2/3 races going on too

Wide tracks are only needed for the big cars. Reduce the size of the cars and all tracks magically become wider.

Nice video. A large part of whether or not a track is good in F1 is… the F1 cars themselves. Other racing series have proved that tracks can be great, but terrible for F1 because of the current wide, DRS-reliant, and dirty air cars.

Believe it or not, I've been working for weeks on a track on Blender with all of these features. I hope to finish it in 3-4 months as it's my very first project in Blender and I need to learn the software.

I think the best way to evaluate the potential of a track is to see how good are the esport races since all the cars are equal and there is little to none dirty air.

Mate you are proper. There is one more point which you might wanna consider. The elevation changes add a whole new dynamic to the car setup and driver skill. From my personal experience on a track l, when I was at Laguna Seca the elevation change into blind corner combined with hard braking was pure adrenaline bliss. Cheers and all the very best.

Aside from COTA all of the top tracks have 1 thing in common. They aren't Tilkedromes The best tracks are the ones built to suit the area naturally rather than being made artificially. While COTA is unique in that it copies successful tracks. Another point is the current cars are far too wide, meaning that tracks that are narrower are that much harder to race on.

Elevation and banking also makes for fun.

This quility or however you spell its i crazy stuff

my favourite track is hungaroring because i live few kilometers away from it

Nice video 💥

They need to bring back some old great tracks like Sepang and hockingheim. Great video though, deserves the subs

Good Video, but in 3:55 it‘s the Hockenheimring in Germany Not in the US

F1 needs monaco, there is always a special aura. Always happens something special. Also monaco qualys are the best

i think f1 should bring back tracks like mugello, nurbringring,hockenheim, istanbul and replace tracks like miami or spain

To be honest I would love to go to Watkins Glen or Muggelo (think that’s how you spell it) for a year, would give some class races imo

Las Vegas was waaay better than i expected tbh, off and on track. only problem is price lol

if hockenheim was to make a return to the calendar, it would absolutely be a fan favourite once again

I am surprised you did not include elevation on the list because it makes the track more challenging and demands more technical skills to defend or attack a position. Great anyways

I would add Losail circuit to the list. Maybe not the greatest atmosphere, being in the middle of the desert, but the track ticks every box and the racing is great even without enforced pitstops.

Still the cars are a big part for why racing in many tracks of the calendar look bad im not talking about performancewise its about being raceable which the new cars are not because they are bigger and heavier then ever, making the defense easier and the racecraft of driver less important. They should make them nimble and small which helps racing at everything and then once you have good foundations with the car then think about circuits and everything else.

Said it for years, circuits are the no.1 problem in terms of producing action way more than cars do!

yep. but i wouldn't consider radillon a corner that makes a difference cause even at max fuel loads the whole sequence is full throttle

For me what makes a good race is unpredictability look at 2023 zandavort in a year of boring races zandavorts weather made the race super unpredictable and entertaining. And then at singapore verstappen struggled and a late unexpected crash late in the race gave us extremely close racing until the finish. If a race starts and everyone goes into management mode with little racing it will be very boring.

I don't remember a good spa race in a couple of years

No Suzuka mentioned? Haven't followed F1 in a decades but I always remember the Suzuka grand prix to be among the most exiting ones to watch, on par with Interlagos.

Great video. Totally agree as well on amentities. F1 is a professional sports league, and professional sports are entertainment. If the fan experience is terrible, why bother going?

In my opinion, the DRS is a problem for the circuits and the entretainment of the races. See Qatar, Qatar is one of the best circuits if you see the track itself, but because of the DRS in the princpal straight, anybody tries to make good overtakings, I mean, would you try to make a good-looking overtake knowing that you can overtake any car in the main straight without any difficulties? No, and this happens in lots of circuits, we only see overtakes in DRS zones and without any problems or excitement. Good vid! Cheers from Spain

F1 needs to bring Malaysia back. Great Track with the weather wildcard

Some points i would disagree. 1 Interlagos is quite narrow circuit with only some sections in S3 being wide. What works for it is the short layout with not many fast corners to generate dirty air. Spa has not produced many great races in past decade tbh. Those fast flowing corners are nice in hotlaps, but are abosolute killers of close racing. What makes or breakes the racing is cars. Even if we have only these "great tracks" if the cars are shit, so will be racing. Ofc track configuration helps. Fun comparison i have is GTWC at Paul Ricard. that 3hr race has more action in it than all F1 races at PR combined. The GT3's can make the track work where F1 couldnt. Dare i say is we had PR on calendar in early 2010's it would give us better racing.

Can we replace Miami with Istanbul because it has been taken over by Vegas for the 2nd race in the USA

Suzuka has entered the chat!

I don't care if F1 tracks are boring! Also, I spotted a mistake at 3:54-3:56, where the Hockenheimring was in America and not Germany. I know you've studied geography before, but I think you need to study this a little harder. Hockenheimring is in Germany, not in America!

Old hockenheimring was nice... but i also like the new Hockenheimring.

Pls make a vido about witch tracks would bee great for F1

New KZfaqr detected abo and like

Some things that make a good Grand Prix are also the possibility of rain and fan culture. With the new regulations cars might actually be small enough to fit next to each other and some tracks could be good again. This brings me to the following list: Great Tracks with Grade 1 certification: Mugello, Imola, Monza, Portimao, Spa, Mexico, São Paulo, Magny-Cours, Montreal, Austin, Hockenheim, Nürburgring, Turkey, Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, Melbourne, Tracks that have some downsides but are still good because of the overall experience: Suzuka, Barcelona, Hungaroring, Korea, Sakhir, Zandvoort, Jeddah, Shanghai So please Liberty Media we have plenty of great tracks, there is no reason to pull some random American or Middle Eastern street circuit out of your asses

He’s cooking with this one 🔥

Monacos weather as previously seen can make a good race unlike Miami which always has and always will be awful

Favourite circuit is Paul Ricard at France
