Simple: Take one of the banked turns from Bristol Motor Speedway, turn it right, copy paste. Now we have a high banked, medium speed, passing zone and stadium turn.
My solution to all F1 racing is to simply add more banked turns. Banked turns are great. Every track needs atleast one heavily banked turn. Great for spectators, great for racing.
0:49 Aaaaaaand, they've just done exactly that. But I do think they will have to do something to make this fast sweeper safer. Or just they just might not bother as they do with the safety at some corners of the Jeddah and Miami tracks... Plus, I love how almost every single Vid of Josh ages like this...
Being from Barcelona, I can completely agree that something has to be done with that chicane. T10 was a good start (although not sure if necessary), hopefully they get rid of it!
I think the increase in size of the car's chassis didn't help, either. When they had a smaller wheelbase, the races were actually pretty good (whether you want to admit it or not).
They should take a hint from old PS1 game "Rollcage" and have a corkscrew where they drive upside down. Test that whole "we make enough downforce to drive on the ceiling" a reality
@@ObviouslyKieran The difference is that there's not really a sector that's extremely similar to Paul Ricard's sector 3, which is its biggest problem. First sector is close, but should still produce better racing than Paul Ricard's third sector.
I think you'd find that racing wouldn't be better for it. Possibly even worse. It's too hard to follow closely in high speed corners that require a lot of aero, what the chicane (as awful as it is) actually does is pile cars up a bit before the straight and make sure they can actually stay fairly close because the whole section requires a lot of mechanical grip. It's still hard to pass after the straight because corner 1 is too fasts which makes for a very small window to put in a breaking maneuver but while swapping the nasty chicane for "moar speedz" might make for more exciting shots of F1 cars on the limit it would not result in better racing.
This track ist not a race track. Its a test track. They can do the preseason testing there, and replace it permanently with Turkey. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Neither are hard at all lmao, i find the 7,8 chicane harder at barcelona, and at monaco, the AI are so bad anyways, 110 is so easy there, i struggle with 110 more at Barcelona
@@LimburgGaming annoying in terms of spectacle, but not in terms of driving. There is literally 1 line through that corners. There probably aren't any easier corners to drive through as a racer.
I like the suggestion at the 3:09 mark. It makes turn 13 more of a potential passing spot, but allows the cars to build speed through the final corner and onto the front straight. F1 could then put the DRS detection zone at the exit of turn 13 so that the car that was passed at that corner can then fight back all the way down the front stretch.
it is just neede to have two racing lines in there so you can be actually close on the straight. Even if you are exactly behind the car in front you are still 0.5-1s behind because you are so slow. I actually dont know why they dont want to fix it
during the Austrian broadcast of the Qualifying Alexander Wurz said that the GPDA asked the FIA to move back to the outer Corner for next year. As they just started the process the Outcome is still wide open but if FIA and the Track Management agrees, they'll be driving the Outer Corner again. The major Reason for the Chicane apparently were Safety concerns with older Car Generations but since that was long ago and Safety has increased massively since then he can't think of a reason why they shouldn't drive the double right Corner again. *fingers crossed*
@3:10 Phil's is the best idea IMO. A tiny chance for an overtake into the right hander, exit speed critical. If final corner has too much aero understeer, then make it variable camber.
Tighten up the corner for faster cars, keep the original layout for slower cars and motorcycles, and keep the chicane tarmac for the rallycross course. Seriously, Catalunya’s rallycross circuit is a blast to drive.
THEY'VE DONE AWAY WITH THAT TERRIBLE CHICANE! There's still a terrible chicane like it on the calendar (ahem, Miami), but at least Catalunya's without that monstrosity.
@@TurboWheeler Yeah, it's bad, but imo not close to as bad as the chicane at Miami as it was last year, or the former third-sector chicane at Catalunya.
Actually, they've removed the grandstand just outside that turn and extend the runoff area after Luis Salom's (Moto2 rider) death, so I think overtake might be the only issue for F1 to reuse the old layout.
Alexander Wurz (The President of the GPDA) told in the Austrian prodcast that a letter was send to the FIA in the name of all of the drivers to request that the Circut returns to the old layout(without the chicane) at the next years GP. So there could be a posibilty that we have the old layout back next year.
After finding your channel, this is the first random but absolutely perfect video I've seen. No complaints, just thanks for the good additions to my sub list. Not bad for Kiwi, sorry. I'm a Brit by citizenship and apparently the Britain likes to dunk on its colonies, we all gotta play the hand we've beenie dealt. So, let's have it! 🤣💪
Your suggestion is actually pretty good. I don't get why they cant just add more run off tho and use the old version, theres not much there apart from grandstands that no-one wants to sit in.
@@zerof0rce The chicane has existed well before the bikes used it. It looks like MotoGP only used the chicane twice, in 2016 after Luis Salom's fatal accident, and 2017 in the shorter version. Since then grandstands have been removed and runoff improved, and FIM series don't use the chicane.
Honestly, I'd rather have the Peraltada back at the Hermanos Rodriguez track than getting rid of this chicane. Barcelona is more for motorcycle racing and there have been fatal accidents at that fast sweeping corner fairly recently, MotoGP still produces some real bangers there anyway, when you think about it MotoGP is exciting at every track they run.
From what I remmeber when they added the chicane, there were two reasons they chose this layout. 1. They could not extend the run off at turn 13 (same reason they originally reprofiled turn 10) 2. DRS The cars were entering the original corner at higher and higer speeds, so the only way they could improve the safety was to push the corner itself back and make it tighter. Meaning more run off, heavier braking and lower entry speeds. A tight chicane was added to allow the following car an opportunity to close in on the car in front under braking and maybe get within 1 sec for the DRS detection point. Because without the new braking zones, it's practically flat out from turn 10 (the end of the previous DRS zone), and now they've reprofiled that so it's less of a braking zone itself, there would be practically no heavy braking zones all the way back to turn 7. Maybe under the new car designs next year and potential future removal of DRS, the final section could be redesigned for better opportunities. But for right now, though it looks clunky, it does what it's supposed to do. I would say that any change to this section, should also include altering turn 12, possibly with something similar to turn 14 at Sepang and then work out what exactly you want for the end from there, but again that will depend on what the new cars respond to.
@@Lunarfox you could lay asphalt on the whole area and draw white lines, install removable kerbs, to play with different layouts. Like Paul Ricard. The pre-existing chicane isn't an excuse to not modify that part of the track, nor it's necessary to eliminate the chicane in order to modify the layout
@@Lunarfox well, F1 does it everytime with Monaco, Singapore and Baku. Put those on, race, take those off. I'm not saying it's the best solution, but hey, it's A solution. It's better than that atrocious chicane, at least.
Make the first right with a short apex, and allow the corner to open up, so that it rewards commitment into and through the final corner, in a similar way to how Copse was once. While we're at it, add a small amount of positive camber to it, a la San Donato at Mugello
My idea was to keep going after the first right handed on the chicane for a few meters, Chuck in Canada’s hairpin and shortly after into a flat out left hander followed by a right left chicane for close overtaking action. It punishes the slowness in the hairpin and the driver behind has a chance to go around the outside then send it up the inside on the final part of the chicane.
@@syukronaziz5583 For 1, MotoGP/2/3 is way more dangerous then car racing, so I don't get 99dndd's comment. There's really nothing anyone can do to stop deaths in Moto racing, it's just always going to carry that risk. 2, the barrier didn't kill him? What killed him was his bike falling on top of him and crushing him. It was just real bad luck more then anything.
I always found it quite surprising that people don't like this chicane since personally I've always loved it. I think the fast right blind apex, to swoop back to the right into the hard braking of the chicane, then heavy lock left and right to nail the apex's and get a good exit is very satisfying to get right. Although it's quite a difficult set of corners as the lap leading up to it melts your tyres off so you're always on the edge of grip through those final corners. But still very fun nonetheless. I think the track would have a lot less character if it was just a high speed right like Turn 9, as it would be a more higher speed circuit, which would make it less suitable for winter testing as we wouldn't have that slow section, where the cars handle very differently.
I like the idea of a McDonald’s drive thru. Kind of eliminates the need for a run-off area due to a 15kph speed limit, and I can imagine the breathless commentary... “Verstappen has asked for fries with that” “Hamilton has dropped his Filet-o-Fish, this could bring out the safety car as they clean up the mess. Too late, Vettel has spun in the mayo on track.” “Stewards are looking at the new clip on drink cups that McLaren have introduced this weekend. Ferrari has complained that they might be illegal aero fins in disguise. Meanwhile Riccardo has gained a tenth a lap since putting a coke refill in his fresh cup holder. I must say, Martin, I think they do look very suspicious with those little winglets on the ends. If the stewards allow them it is only a matter of time before all the manufacturers are installing cup holders. And Ricciardo has gone another two tenths up despite the distraction of finishing a Big Mac.” “Disaster at Catalunya for Aston Martin as Stroll limps back to the pits. It appears a Big Mac container has lodged in his air intake. I think we have some team radio...” “(crackle) that ***** Sainz just tossed the remains of lunch.

And Ricciardo has gone another two tenths up despite the distraction of finishing a Big Mac.”
“Disaster at Catalunya for Aston Martin as Stroll limps back to the pits. It appears a Big Mac container has lodged in his air intake. I think we have some team radio...” “(crackle) that ***** Sainz just tossed the remains of lunch. What was he **** thinking? - We hear you Lance. We saw it. The stewards have been informed.”
what if...
hear me out...
we add a similar last corner to Zandvoort
(lots of work to do but i think its possible)
taking shots at sochi after last race being one of the best this year...this video is aging as well as most of josh's predictions lmao
Imagine fans can choose the tracks for F1 to race on before the season starts.
my solution, do what zanvoort did and add banking to the sweeper (put a SAFER barrier wall there on the edge of the track and your good to go.)
3:07 when you play too much trackmania
Just replace the track with a copy of Bristol Motor Speedway. Put F1 cars on a circuit less than a km long with banking up to 30 degrees. :-)
Josh :Worst piece of race track since sochi autodrome
Turn 3 at sochi: am I a joke to you ?
One the funniest videos I’ve ever seen before! Just great
You should view his others!!!!
