France and Germany not having a GP would be so weird

Felt the same way with the German GP getting kaput, I get having new races in new countries to broaden the appeal, but there’s something to say about the historic tracks of the sport that warrant their place on the calendar. I only hope the FIA listens to this video and provide the best solution possible. Great vid once again Josh! You’re getting better with each one!

@BiggieTrismegistus 2 года назад

Countries like Germany, France, Britain, Italy, the US and Japan are so indelibly associated with motorsport and cars in general that they should always have a race on the F1 calendar. If F1 is going to be the pinnacle of motorsport they pretty much *have* to race in those countries. Brazil's car industry isn't a big player on the world stage but that country has produced enough amazing drivers to always warrant as race as well. Then you have historic tracks like Spa that should be kept around as because history is so important to F1 (and most other kinds of racing really). There has to be a balance between broadening the appeal (which is certainly a worthwhile goal) and holding on to F1's history.

@y_fam_goeglyd 2 года назад

@@Sgt.chickens it's not just the track (I'll come back to that), it's its infrastructure. Teams, officials - including marshalls - and fans have a hard time getting in and out, and it's so far in the sticks that there's bog all outside of the track. Why do we not like to watch it? (Edit: apart from it being surprisingly hard to overtake on?) It's nigh on impossible to place where the cars are on it, because except for the pit straight, there are next to no defining characteristics. It's as flat as Silverstone, but doesn't have the same flow, obviously unique turns, or off-track "landmarks" to help the viewer orient themselves. Whenever the director cuts from following one car to another, it's not immediately clear where they are, unlike at Silverstone (its nearest track to compare it to). On top of that, the coloured lines are hard on the eye, making it even more difficult to get the layout into one's mind because they distract you from looking around and trying to commit what little there is in the way of optical clues. Does that answer your question? (Not being sarky, btw, I genuinely hope I have answered it. Most fans _don't_ play racing games at any level so we don't get to see what those of you who do, do. If that makes sense.)

@SiVlog1989 2 года назад

The problem with Paul Ricard is that after its first last French Grand Prix in 1990, it was turned into a High Tech Test Track (HTTT). Therefore it didn't matter so much about the capacity of the track for spectators. Given how much F1 owes to France, given that the name of the races, Grands Prix, is French, the FIA is French and is based in Paris, the first Grand Prix was in France, it is a huge loss if F1 doesn't return to France. There is another thought though. France, as in the French Republic, is so much more than just the European part of it, mainland France and Corsica, there are also the parts of France that are more than just overseas territories, but are actual integral parts of the country. The Grand Tour went to Réunion for example, a French overseas Department and Region in the Indian Ocean, roughly 700km East of Madagascar. The terrain there is stunning and because of its location, it would technically be a European Flyway race (either building a brand new track there or have a street race in the capital, Saint Denis)

It would be a great event overall, much easier to get to than Paul Ricard (because yes ive been to every single one in that hellhole and F1TV dont do justice to the fact that its litterally up a fucking mountain), because Nice has the 2nd biggest airport in france and tons of train connexions to the rest of france. And also in my completely unbiased opinion it would be cool to have 2 GPs litterally 30min from my house. As for the track itself, we've got plenty of space and (shock horror), we have elevation change. Not sure if they actually would, but imo it would be a great hommage to call the track le Circuit Jules Bianchi...

It is about 750 metres from the Arc de Triomphe. The park boasts existing roadways, a number of lakes, two racecourses (Longchamp and Auteuil) and is adjacent to the Stade Roland Garros (home of the French Open tennis competition) and the Parc des Princes stadium.

Probably one of the few races that matches the Italian GP in Guaranteed solid attendance figures. - Abit strange you mention "Most of the Italian races" considering that has been very infrequent in the history of F1 with the recent Italian triple header being essentialy a one-off ( *Remineses in Italian* ) but the Italian Grand Prix isn't going anywhere. As much as F1 is trying to recoup lost profit from the Pandemic, even they can see the Italian GP is raking in attendance by the truck load.

I am baffled as to how this 'cars are too big' notion came to be so overstated. The only dimension in which the current cars are largest is length.

Magny-Cours is in the middle of nowhere, which is the reason why it got dropped. So that's very unlikely.

@@FCB001 To add onto the problems of Magny-Cours It’s a fantastic circuit to DRIVE but not good to RACE. If it were to return it would probably not have a different feel to Paul-Richard.

@@hlanguhome7905 yeah agree, most races at Magny-Cours were a stinker. Only remember the wet race in 99 and Schumacher's 4-stop strategy in 2004 to be exciting.

Josh there's a track in Pau France. I live here and they host Euroformula, WTCR, etc. It's pretty cool it's been here since the 1890's and was a test track for F1 in 1950. Ascari also raced here and many modern pilots such as Norris and Leclerc raced here in F3

@ELSTERLING 2 года назад

I've always wondered if those who call for the return of Magny Cours ever sat down and watched full races at that track, they were largely abysmal. After S1 (and its solitary realistic overtaking spot which was largely spoiled by the long highspeed left/right leading in to it) it's just a low/mid speed chicane every 200m or so, has zero flow and is almost as ugly as Paul Ricard.

Why making a street circuit in Nice while there is already a street circuit less then 20 km east of that...It's the Monaco GP which is basically France

It's true that the first iteration of the french gp was a nightmare considering how hard it was to go or leave it, but I haven't heard anything about that recently, soooo am I out of touch or did they fixed this issue ?

@killianweisedesbois 2 года назад

Last weekend was fine. They basically banned cars being able to access the track unless there is a minimum of 4 people inside and for the others they went there by bus. It only took 1 hour and a bit to leave the track and surrounding areas.

My biggest issue with Paul Ricard isn't the track, but the pit lane. 27 second stops totally annihilate different strategies. That really should've been redesigned to allow for a higher speed limit and a shorter lane.

@Joopyter724 2 года назад

Maybe redesigning the lemans bugatti circuit is a good option

@StefanVeenstra 2 года назад

Been suggesting rotating venues for Nations that have more than one F1 grade tracks, like France, Germany, the US. Not only would it allow for historic tracks to be upkept, it allows for others to improve, feature on the calendar. And having alternating tracks at alternating times of the seasons caan be more of a challenge for teams and drivers, for conditions keep changing, making old data less useful.

I think there should be 8 GP Rotating Slots a year. So lets say there are 4x groups of 3 GPs and of every group 2 are hosted a year. So also to order them geological the pairs could be 1: France, Spain, Portugal 2: Imola, Hungary, Turkey 3: Germany, Austria, Holland 4: Mexico, South Africa, Malaysia

@AbrahamArthemius 2 года назад

Man, me as an Endurance Race lover seems to be having far better options in terms of tracks. WEC (even with their lackluster number of races) still race on iconic tracks like Spa, Monza, Fuji, & of course De La Sarthe itself, and IMSA races in A LOT of awesome tracks in America. F1's ever increasing speed became a double-edged sword. People wanted more speed but it resulted on them having to ditch iconic tracks since it can be safe for them.

@hlanguhome7905 2 года назад

As much as tho France is a historic venue for racing, we need to go back to Kyalami in order to truly grant a full world championship since we need Africa in F1.

I was looking at loads of stats from the 70s and 80s and it's crazy just how many French drivers there were. By early 2000s there was only about 1 per season, and it's only now were seeing more on the track again. Hopefully now with more French and French speaking drivers again, they'll have the sense to keep France on the calendar

Paul Ricard has around 163 different layouts so I'm sure they can figure out something. I think it's a good time to rotate tracks, take a year off from France and get a circuit ready for 2024. If you have the crown jewels like Monza, Monaco, Spa and Silverstone. Then a heritage round like Germany, France and Imola in a rotation. Then we have 18 more races that can be rotated.

France has to find a way to keep an F1 race somehow someway. Not only with Gasly and Ocon but there's Pourcharie in F2 where he's second in the points and a couple of Frenchmen tied for the lead in F3. There's a possibility we can have five French drivers.
