Actually he's wrong there isn't 167 ways to configure Paul Richard there's over 300. What he most likely means is there are 167 "practical configurations." In the first section there's 2 practical short cuts to the back straight. There's 3 ways to do the first 2 corners and 2 ways to get to the back straight 3 x 2 + 2 =8. There's at least 7 ways to run the chicanes in the Mistral 7x8 = 56. There's 2 ways at the end of Mistral 2x56=112. There's 3 ways to run the final complex for 336 configurations. My bet is that some of the ways to run the Mistral Chicane are simply impractical which reduces that number a lot.

@@HeavyMetalMonkey Nothing like them, no. We're talking an average of a 150m run between chicaines which is nowhere near enough time to draw alongside. It's more like narrower Sochi with fake grass. Good track design is significantly more complicated than straight > chicane too. Also, Albert Park is mostly memorable for hosting season openers which obscures the fact that it's one of the hardest tracks to pass on in all of F1 according to the teams.

T12: Tighten it up, essentially making it a hairpin. The insane speed from T11 will create daring divebombs. Last Corner: Make the hairpin run right up against the wall, like T13 Singapore.

The only change I would make to Paul Ricard is : - Switch the corners 3-4-5 to the same layout as Silverstone's 1-2-3.

I think that Paul Ricard could be a great curcuit. The main problem is that cars have a hard time following each other due to dirty air (especially in sector 3). The new regulations will make this less of an issue and provide more overtaking opportunities, at places like turn 1, the mistral chicane and turn 11. I wouldn't be surprised if next years race gives us as good, if not better entertainement than this years race.

Okay 2022 regs look to clean up the air for closer following so hopefully DRS can be curtailed and we get to see some slip stream skills. If you add the closer competition with close follow slip streaming into the braking zones divided by the private Stroll family jets you get boom 🤯 better more exciting GP action across the board! ….

Last weekend's race was good because the leading cars and the midfield are close together. The reason the 2019 GP was so boring was because the Mercedes cars were so much better that year. However, I think the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans would be a far better venue. It would need some upgrades to meet FIA Grade 1 criteria and perhaps some track modifications to make it longer, but it's a historic venue with strong motorsport heritage. Imagine an F1 season with Monza, Spa, Silverstone and Le Mans! Any upgrades to the Bugatti circuit, however, should not include the removal of the iconic Dunlop Arch. Donington Park has already lost its arch and is lesser for it.

@ELSTERLING
@ELSTERLING 3 года назад
Yeah, I'd love to see it but it's simply too long of a track to be feasible. The race would be only 23 - 24 laps long meaning a 2 lap safety car deployment would eat up almost 10% of the running distance. Also, if an accident happened in the first four corners we might be left waiting for four to five minutes at VSC speeds just for the leaders to come back around and meet the SC. As it is IIRC the 24 Hours has to use multiple safety cars for different parts of the track. Add to that the issues of getting an adequate number of marshals, the right medical vehicle response times and so forth that F1 requires would be hugely complicated. The icing on the cake is that TV coverage would be messy at bare minimum because it's extremely hard to have and to direct enough cameras to span the track and there's definitely threat of the perpetual issue of Monaco, Le Mans coverage and as used to happen with French GP coverage at Magny Cours where there's an independent French team directing it all that, A - Isn't particularly good, and B - Spends a suspiciously long time focusing only on the French entries even if they're not doing much or particularly competitive.

As for the TV coverage, it isn't that bad, well if you go to the commentary free livestream and turn Radio Le Mans on....on that note, have Hindy and crew cover the race. As for how it would work, well....Pcars had their Formula A (2011/2012 F1 Car lookalike) race there in Career mode.

Why not, after putting Dijon up to grade 1 specifications, replace it's turn 7 with a 90-degree left turn that precedes a sort of right-turning turn 7 that only turns half as much, before another 90-degree turn to the left that leads up to a new Parabolica? It adds 3 corners and you could extend the start-finish straight back to accommodate it. That could make it longer, and the forest around there could be easily cleared for it. You could also make turn 11 (or turn 14 with my previous suggestion) a left turn rather than a right one before another hairpin that turns it back around to an elongated straight before turn 12 (or 16).

Don't go straight to turns 3 - 7, instead go right to, what is called on the track site "T21". Just look at it (0:15)! Nice, 110° right, with a heavy breaking zone, with potential to overshoot, leading to 70° right, than 110° mild left right chicane. Seems like a good overtaking spot. To make that work, instead of tightest variant of 1 and 2, go for the smoothest, so that 1 and 2 don't spread out the cars like in Barcelona, and let the DRS zone bring them back together after sector 3. Than just left the chicane as it is, because it might not be ideal, but it still a moderately good overtaking opportunity, and BOOM! You got a good track, with one good overtaking place, and additional moderate one. Also. For the people saying "bring the gravel, so they be punished": did you see, what this red strips do to the tires? One contact and you have to pit, so for me it's a decent punishment.

The circuit itself was as dull and migraine inducing as always - the difference was the mixed up strategies Solution - bring back refueling It'll mix up strategies and allows for smaller cars since they won't need such a large fuel tank

Closer competition brings the best out of every circuit. It's why Nascar is entertaining. The cars are so close that even going in ovals, they're fun to watch.

While the last race at Paul Ricard was a good one, it still needs to follow Albert Park (Australia) and Yas Marina (Abu Dhabi) by changing the layout, even with next years cars that are supposedly going to make it easier for drivers to follow others. This shouldn't be too difficult as Paul Ricard is a highly flexible and versatile facility.

Paul ricard is a circuit that brings out the best of a tight championship. Its conditions reduce safety cars and accidents while allowing for good overtaking. The result is a circuit that rewards strategy and race craft in a tight contest. One problem I think we have though is we've had years of Mercedes dominance. What makes a great circuit during a dominant era is the opposite, more safety cars and incidents tightening the pack up to get some good racing. Where we should be careful though is wanting just this. Because then when things are tights like now its ends up turning who wins into semi random chance. We all would have lost out on so much last week if a crash had caused a safety car near the end. The nature of Paul ricard being safe allowed redbull to use the strategy they did. It will be a circuit thats hated in dominant eras and a favourite and competitive ones as a result

Of course Paul Ricard was never meant to be a F1 racing circuit, it was build to be a F1 testing facility, which is why it has all the possible different layouts and features like the instant rain system. It also explains why the layout F1 uses there doesn't allow for a lot of overtaking and isn't that great compared to other, purposely build F1 racing tracks. And it actually isn't really the layout that causes the biggest issue, it's those enormous (and quite psychedelic) run off areas leaving a huge margin for error and not punishing drivers enough for going over the limit. My first improvement would be to replace all those run off areas with gravel all the way up to the kerbs, that'll make the breaking zones a lot more interesting and eliminates the issues with track limits.

I think France is still a bad track, but with the new regulations, I’m looking forward to the French gp coming up this weekend. If the race is still bad, here’s what you can do. Make turns 1 and 2 flat and then turn 3 or L’Hotel starts a lot earlier and it’s a lot sharper. Turn 8 is a lot sharper as well to make it a better overtaking opportunity. Sharpen off turn 11 to create an overtaking opportunity. There is a different layout before turn 12, so let’s use that. Instead of going to turn 13, go straight and make a very fast chicane to make it challenging for the drivers. This will surely improve qualifying and practice. Every change to the circuit are about sharpening corners and making them faster.

Last week's race in PR was great because of RB and Merc are close to each other. And that rain that happened before the race, throwing out all the plans that the teams had made. If Merc were dominating the season, it would have been a boring race.

normally for a track to be good from what i've noticed is to have 0 chicanes and S sections. just let the tracks be natural.
@TheOystei
@TheOystei 9 месяцев назад
My completly unqualified opinion; Increase the steering lock on the cars through rule changes, and then turn the sprinklers on for just 1 or 2 corners, and call it a Drift Zone... or something. Or better yet, change what corner is wet throughout the race.

People should actually start to practice and see Paul Ricard in a driver’s pov cause I did less than 1 hour of practice before I remembered where each corner was. Then it took me another 2 hours to get a good idea of the braking zones. I haven’t mastered the track at all, but I can tell you that it’s not a bad track at all imo and I love the trail braking fun

The thing is, F2 & F3 both can have a GREAT race in this track as we can see previously, with the main problem mainly resides on current F1 cars that is too quick for the circuit before 2021 regs. The recent 2021 regulation change does seem to close the gap between the cars a little bit better now allowing it to be a good recipe for racing, but hey that's just my opinion.

The main issue with Paul Ricard is the lack of elevation, and so many huge runoffs that makes the track very wide and confusing (I know its for safety reasons but at least add some barrier to make it less wide) Or at least paint the runoffs with solid colors instead of lines
