I'm an F1 history enthusiast myself, so I've heard of all these circuits, including Pescara GP, won by Stirling Moss. I would also include the sole 1984 Dallas GP or the 1993 European GP, held at Donnington, Derbyshire, UK. What even less people heard about is the 1967 French GP, not held at Reims or Rouen, but strangely, at Le Mans. So, there are quite a few one-off appearences in F1 history, and a handfull of drivers, declared winners of sole circuit events - Jack Brabham in 1967, Keke Rosberg in 1984 and Ayrton Senna in 1993. I've almost forgotten the first Austrian GP at Zeltweg, in 1964 - the only win of Lorenzo Bandini.
Everyone knows Dallas for the heat and nigel mansell passing out trying to push his car, everyone knows donnington because of Senna’s first lap overtakes in the rain, im pretty sure that donnington lap is one of the most viewed video on formula 1’s channel.
Le Mans Bugatti circuit in case anyone thinks it was the full one, there are loads of circuits that only held one world championship GP, Mugello, AVUS, Monsanto, Riverside, Sebring as well as Donington Park, Zeltweg and Dallas
@@retrobeans24 Australian GP wasnt strictly F1 but Formula Libre. the Cooper that won in 1960 had a maserati sportscar engine. Even all the Tasman series events weren't F1 races
It's kind of funny to list Detroit as obscure, because as I understand it, according to my dad, we got the American races, Monaco and maybe one other crown jewel on the calendar like the British GP or Monza televised for US audiences back then, and that was pretty much it most years until Speedvision came along. I'd argue if we're talking about GPs that are obscure **by name** and not necessarily by venue, then I'd say "United States Grand Prix West" is pretty obscure. Most people probably assume it was always called "Long Beach Grand Prix" or "Grand Prix of Long Beach." I also wouldn't be so sure about the Indian Grand Prix being significantly less obscure than the Pacific Grand Prix. It was one of those new races from the Vettel era, when F1 was expanding into new markets honestly too quickly with brand new permanent facilities, half or which would drop off the calendar by 2014, with Buddh only hosting F1 for those three years. It was, however, immortalized in the Codemasters F1 games, which were just taking off at the time. But still, the Indian GP had run its course well before the DTS crowd arrived. I'm aware of it and Korea, but many new fans won't be. The Pacific GP was even more short-lived, but it is famous for being one of Ayrton Senna's frustrating final outings with his new team before his death. Its relevance in F1 lore is assured.
As someone who lives in Michigan, it is so sad that we haven’t had a race in Detroit. I only live 7 or 8 hours away from Detroit. If money wasn’t a problem, and if it was on the grid, I would go to one of those races in a heartbeat
Strangely enough, having watched most races that were televised in some way from the early 60s (my dad was a fan which got me hooked) to present day, I'm surprised I dont remember some of these.
0:42 : Fun fact: The Luxembourg grand prix was actually raced on the Nurburgring in Germany. As you know, Germany banned tobacco advertising. So the deal was that in order to have a second race in Germany, they had to allow tobacco advertising.
Pacific GP was funny they were like how about we race In Japan but in the most rural and remote track ever where the track is accessible by a old 2 lane road
I'd heard that there were races at the nurburgring but didn't realise they had 2 called the Luxembourg races, also heard about Detroit f1 races from a video about planning a nee race there recently.
CART would eventually take over the detroit grand prix when f1 left. They would move the race to belle isle after continuing downtown for a few years. The race would leave the calendar after 2001, only to return with indycar post merger in 2007 for two seasons, then off the schedule again until returning in 2012, where it was a double header through 2021, except the cancelled 2020 race, a single race in 2022, then returned downtown as a single race on a shortened version of the f1/CART layout in 2023, where it is today
I saw where this was heading the moment in you said that "Nobody could locate Luxembourg". So I was forseen that race that nobody heard about would be "races that actually a lot of people remember, unless you joined F1 after watching Drive to Survive". Luxembourg GP? Pacific GP? Or even Detroit? Morrocan is a good fit, since it was held once in 1958, Switzerland might fit, was long time ago, but you missed Pescara that I bet is even more forgotten than any of previous. The German GP races held at AVUS are also something from the very beginning.
I think Sissyland actually had an E-prix, since the motorracing ban was meant against the noise and pollution. Inthink Fe did a race there a few years back.
Lowood Airfield Circuit was raced in 1960 in the middle of nowhere Australia. There’s hardly any information about it, apart from a Wikipedia page and 1 very in depth video on RUclips. There is no video of F1 racing there, but there is of other series racing there.
You fact about Hawthorn being the world champion with fewest career wins (3) is correct, sort of. 1961 Champion Phil Hill (the first American, and only American born Champion) only won 3 GP’s as well. At the time of Farina winning 1950 Championship he had 3 wins, but would get more in later seasons. And finally, Keke Rosberg in 1982 was crowned Champion with just one career win, like Farina he would win more in later seasons. Hawthorn and Rosberg hold the record of just one win in their Championship winning seasons.
The only thing I remember about the Pacific Grand Prix, is Ayrton Senna's fact-finding mission, after he thought the Benetton team were running a traction control system. He wrecked out on the start and sat trackside listening to see if Benetton were running an illegal traction control system.
Hold on now. I live next to Laguna Seca. I love Laguna Seca. Are you referring to the lawsuit from a very small community of old rich people? Monterey California is now the car capital of United States with car week and the Concours de elegance . Come and visit Milwaukee!
I remember at least hearing of all of these, and saw all the ones that happened after the beginning of the 80s. Heck, I have an F1 game (Geoff Crammond's Formula 1 Grand Prix I think was the name) that has Detroit. Or maybe I'm thinking of Phoenix. It's been over 30 years. :P Fun fact: Pacific Racing took part in the 1995 Pacific GP.
Actually, there was a Luxembourg Grand Prix in Luxembourg, way down the road - 1949 t0 1952. But it wasn't part of the championship. 🙂 And to answer your question: Heard of them all.
I grew up with F1. I remember watching the Detroit, Luxembourg, and Pacific GPs. I read about the Moroccan GP and knew about the history of the Swiss GP. The first one is where Senna claimed that Benetton were still using driver aids. No love for Dallas or Phoenix? South Korea?
Heard of all & knew em all. There are more random races than those. zeltweg, moreno valley, monsanto, pescara, pedrables, boavista, nivelles, charade ecc.
I wouldn't say the Detroit GP is totally forgotten. It's semi-famous because it was in the automotive capital of the world. Because the scenery was pretty interesting as an urban street race. And because the track was _notoriously_ awful and dangerous, and has been the subject of a lot of videos for it.
knew all of then as a swiss the ban has been fully lifted in 2022 so F1 could come back now just need a grade 1 race track pls F1 and de schwizer bund make it happen
You forgot about the Dallas, Texas race of 1984 at Fair Park!!!!. It's okay, we all did.
No,literally everyone remembres that race,because of the problems with the extreme heat

Motorracing in Switzerland was actually made legal again in 2022
I thought that was only for electric cars (hence the Zurich ePrix and Swiss ePrix).

Intersting fact, the Nuburgring has had four different race names: German GP, European GP, Luxembourg GP and Eifel GP
TI Circuit Aida was my favourite track in the Grand Prix 2 game. I think everyone who played that game remembers the track!
My guess without watching the video yet:
Us West
Caesar’s Palace
Pacific
Luxembourg
Moroccan

heard of all of them. then again I was born in 1982. I still play Microprose GP2 with Detroit added
Pacific GP was funny they were like how about we race In Japan but in the most rural and remote track ever where the track is accessible by a old 2 lane road

I think Switzerland's motorsport ban also has an exception for rallying and dirt bikes. Just thought I'd add that.

Well when you dive into non-championship F1 GPs, tere's way more gems to find - for example 1980 Evening News Trophy :)

None of these were unknown to me. As a finnish person, 1982 Swiss GP and 1998 Luxembourg GP are very well known here in Finland.
The Pacific GP of 1995 was, and to this day, still is, the only F1 race where the GP and also a constructor had the same name (Pacific)...

Lots of DTS fans I guess? Luxembourg makes perfect sense to host an F1 race, geographically and financially
Thank God I am European, so I know where Luxembourg is.
Edit: heard of all of them before except for Morocco
I’ve heard of every single race by the way 🤷🏻♂️
Did you hear of the Argentina Grand Prix?
knew all of then as a swiss the ban has been fully lifted in 2022 so F1 could come back now just need a grade 1 race track pls F1 and de schwizer bund make it happen
They need to bring back the South African Grand Prix. That would be amazing
I would put Phoenix or Dallas above Detroit. Dallas was more of a laughing stock but Phoenix just was forgotten. Detroit still hosts Indycar today
Wasn't that why they called it the European GP Remember Donnington 93 and now it's why Imola has a silly name 😂
Actually the swiss have unbanned Motorsport recently

I’ve heard of the detroit gp
I’ve heard of the Detroit Grand Prix only cause I’m from Detroit if it wasn’t obvious enough (look at the profile picture)
got me on morocco - the rest are all old news
i am so confused does he have 2 sponsors???
I remember the 6 💀💀💀 im a nerd

Cool video, but two sponsors is crazy. I know that this i peak sucess for a youtuber, but man
