In 1923, the city of Turin unveiled a huge new car factory, with one very special feature: it had a high-speed circuit on the roof, complete with banked curves, and two 500m-long straights. But why would you put a racetrack on the roof of a factory? I travelled to northern Italy to see it for myself...

Even though it's not as high speed, I am glad that the new Hyundai Singapore factory that uses mostly robots to assemble Ioniq EV's in the city (35,000/car per year output using 110 workers) has a 6th floor test track keeping the tradition of these factories very much alive... There they allow users to watch their car being assembled and then you can take it for a test drive on the roof. Not a bad business model I hope more automakers revive... I'd love to see similar facilities in NYC, London, Los Angeles, etc. The re-regionalization of auto assembly using local labor and robots... Lots of robots!

I wandered the mall looking for (what I assumed would be) obvious signs to the roof and found none. Finally, after ordering "nachos" at the food court, I asked directions and was told it required a visit to the museum. It is one of those buildings which from whenever I first saw a photo of it, I said, I need to go there someday! Thanks again for all your excellent work.

There was actually a fourth rooftop test track that perhaps you missed, because it doesn't seem to have lasted very long. This one was at the main plant of the Studebaker Corporation in South Bend, Indiana, USA. Not much information on it, but it appeared to be made of wood planks and was wide enough for the small, slow cars made in the early 20th Century. Studebaker later constructed the first automotive proving ground in 1926, not far from South Bend. While Studebaker itself is gone, the proving ground was sold to Bendix Corporation, then Bosch Automotive, and finally to Navistar, which is the successor to International Harvester's truck business and still uses the test track. The most striking thing about the facility was built in 1938, when Studebaker planted some 8,000 pine trees to spell out the company's name. The tree sign and the Studebaker Clubhouse (originally an office building for test engineers) are on the National Register of Historic Places.

This is just such great feel good content. Did I know Lingotto before? Yes. But listening to Tim muse about it is always worth it.

This is brilliant! I've seen pictures of Lingotto but never really thought my about why they put the test track on the roof.

Great video! I'm an ex Fiat / Alfa Romeo employee and was taken to the roof of lingotto by them on a "busman's holiday" back in 2005, when I was lead to believe it wasn't open to the general public then. It certainly wasn't an art gallery or as pretty as it is now. The shopping centre was open then though, which in itself was a pretty cool place! On a side note, Fiat also have , or at least had, a secret test track in the suburbs of Turin for development testing. I won't say where. It's not pretty, or even state of the art, at least not back in 2005! But it did have all the fundamentals of a car breaking test track and was very interesting to visit during the same trip.👍🏼

To me, the factory building is a work of art. I love the fact that it’s coming up to 100 years old and still has a purpose and use to the community. Is the ultimate and recycling.

Sterling job on the music selection as always, love the “Tim” shop, perfect if you need to buy additional Tims. And good to know it’s accessible too.

Your videos are feel good anyways, but everytime I see your intro and you giving a thumbs up on the Fähri in Basel where I grew up, it's a special kind of coziness for me

In Belgium, there is still a similar track on the roof of the defunct Imperia car plant. That test track was built in 1928 and is 1km long. Currently the site is being reformed into housing but the track will be integrated into it.
