@@lakshyamongia3270 when the track is uneven the car hits the gound. all cars normally have magnesium plates under them preventing floor damage, but in for example monacco, the track is too uneven for it to work perfactly. on a track like this, where the car lifts off the ground, floor damage would be unpreventable.

@@Ponja__ Yes, of course! Every spinning top, no matter how wide, has the same very narrow wheelbase that lets it spin on a dime. Anything before the first set of the wheels and anything behind the last set doesn't matter for turning radius. I think the guy above was saying that the equally long cars will still be hard to fit into the gap between the walls, which is completely true, but as seen in the video the car fits just fine as long as you can turn fast enough, so the smaller wheelbase does seem to be useful
Prediction before watching: Yes. On visiting Macau, I happened to take a bus that followed part of the Guia circuit. One of its stops was just above the hairpin. I started taking pictures, assuming we would carry on straight past and I would have a nice photo of how tight it really was. But then the driver turned hard right and went through the hairpin and down the hill.
Go and watch the touring cars race of 92’. All 3 190E Mercedes ended up in walls while they tried to celebrate the new dealership in Macau, you can almost see tears coming out of the screen.
Passing is done on the much wider main front. Reservoir Bend before the finish, the start-finish complex leading to the fast Mandarin straight. Finally pulling it off at the famous Lisboa Corner. As for the twisty back end bits up the San Francisco Hill, you have to be really brave. There might be one or two place where you can do it. But you must be extremely precise.
Try going full negative toe, or "toe out", this will make the car very unstable at high speeds, which sucks, but it also adds a lot of steering angle especially at low speeds
Ngl it kinda seemed a little boring in the begining, just soft corners and alot of straights, but after a few turns, man did it get dialed up to 150 out of nowhere. Nice vid!
If F1 would race there, the teams would make their cars work on that circuit. I mean, they have to modify the steering especially for Lowes corner in monaco as well
I say do this instead of Monaco Reasons why Looks like theres some good overtaking opportunities Its fast It has some really challenging corners! Things to fix Widen turn 20 (edit) Not the initial part of turn 20 rather this part 1:32
"Will the cars actually go around the corners? Well, no idea but I guess we're gonna find out during the race" Formula E, literally every time they are choosing a race track
You know we were all waiting for 1:21! Part of the problem is not just the steering lock but the sheer THICCness of modern F1 cars. I read somewhere that Williams never changed the steering rack in the early 90's for what was then called Leows Hairpin at Monaco, they expected the drivers to skid steer round.
i just going to ask you about the speed at turn 2 and before breaking at turn 3 and if macau f1 is going to be a thing the DRS is going to be the straights and the speed trap maybe 150-200m before turn 3
@@nooffensebut4655 not so. The minimum length for an F1 has been 4500MM since the 1970s. The longest of F1 cars is just under 4800MM, and it doesn't fare well in races due to the additional weight of that extra foot in length. (It adds nearly 70 pounds of weight, which is why those longer F1s tend to not place well. That weight alone harms their efficiency.)
Honestly, if they found a way to modify the track to remove the hairpin, i think it actually be better than monaco. It has way more overtaking opportunities in the 1st and 4th sectors, and it probably has the most unique scenery in any circuit.
The problem isn't doing this circuit alone,the problem is doing it with other F1 cars
The problem is turn 20 🤣
They must turn 1 by 1

The problem is also doing this circuit alone, even in staggered qualifying you'd still probably get 4 crashes
There's also no space for any barriers

@@Ethan-vj5mt Macau has the craziest streets I've ever seen. I'm sure all the bus drivers are excellent.
the yellow and red on the sides display how many times safety car has to be deployed and red flags

And how would lap 1 be? What a stupid idea.
when I was a kid, remember saw F1 in macau doing 1:45
0:24 im getting flashbacks from the Sophia Floresch crash
Most likely the traffic if the driver crashed
That was beautiful driving. Gives me anxiety watching cars on this track.
they use f3 and f4 in macau so that’s why it’s impossible for an f1 car to turn
Me: "Hm, this track doesn't seem too bad so far."
Turn 20: "Allow me to introduce myself."
Nice video as always Marcel 😁😁
1:54 is impossible 😳😳
Is just another Monaco, but even tighter
I cant even finish 3 laps on Monaco, I cant imagine this
In this circuit it's impossible to overtake, especially in turn 20...
I think there's a rule saying no overtaking allowed on turn 20, it's prohibited.
@@mud7yousay You’re right, there is.

It probably wasnt your intention, but this is one of the greatest videos for showing off just how fast an f1 car is.

Circuits with small spaces give me a lot of anxiety
You can actually go through Guia in an F1 car. If you can somehow get the 450 degree wheel lock through (Turn) 20.
Thats whats Happening in the Video!😂
If that tight Turn wasn’t a thing and the roads were a bit wider that would be the best race ever
Woah, looks super fun to drive!
Red flags here will be so dangerous...even the smallest of debris is unavoidable
The pits are a bus station when not in use. I went to macau back in 2018 and the bus dropped us off in the paddock
Me after the turn 1 animation : I think you will be also good for turn 2
Try going full negative toe, or "toe out", this will make the car very unstable at high speeds, which sucks, but it also adds a lot of steering angle especially at low speeds
As a drifter, this is one of the ways we get the nose to be more sensitive and allow harder angle recovery. That, and a wide angle steering rack.
I LOVE DRIFTS!
Its gonna be most expensive car parade ever
Nice video, the first time i’m enjoying Maccau in a videogame! Probably because i suck at this track haha
Imagine pole position gets to turn 20 and fucks up his drift mode turn.. it would just be a pile up of cars essentially a car park haha
would love to see a f1 race here but I know it will never happen
actually irl, the circuit didn't have the grade 1 certification from FIA(it's grade 2 certified for F3 if I remember) so they can't run F1 cars anyway
F1 cars definitely can run on Macau track, but accidents are expected
Ngl it kinda seemed a little boring in the begining, just soft corners and alot of straights, but after a few turns, man did it get dialed up to 150 out of nowhere. Nice vid!
Jordan F1 did it in 2003. A one car demostration, not a race though. Footages available on RUclips.
New custom steering column and rack and I could see teams doing it without the need for drifting/spinning the rears to create an angle.
Imagine Tsunoda vs Mazepin in T20
Hard to imagine that the biggest pile up in history of motorsport didn't occur in turn 20, but 17
Qualifying on this track would be so sick to watch to be honest, its like jeddah but on steroids on how close to the walls you are
Conclusion: this track can't have a F1 grand prix
If F1 would race there, the teams would make their cars work on that circuit. I mean, they have to modify the steering especially for Lowes corner in monaco as well
This is one car, now imagine 20 cars in turn 20 and at least one of them crashing into the barrier. Cars behind wouldn’t even make it to pits.
For F1 it's difficult. If turning 20 is difficult with one car, imagine with two or more cars
That track is scary as hell in an f1 car
If Monaco's already tight for any overtakes in a usual F1 GP, what more with this lol, imagine the chaos at turn 20
Surely slowing down earlier and turning left first then full lock right would increase the corner apex and allow it to be done with normal range
Nope. Its not possible with normal range. I tried it a lot of times
I say do this instead of Monaco
Reasons why
Looks like theres some good overtaking opportunities
Its fast
It has some really challenging corners!
Things to fix
Widen turn 20 (edit) Not the initial part of turn 20 rather this part 1:32
20 looks as wide as it’s gonna get
Knotler we need to fix that hairpin to see this circuit in F1 maybe Monaco is where all celebrities are, but Macao is better than Monaco
There are some turns that are a little scary that has had some major accidents
Melco Hairpin alone makes Wawasan Bridge hairpin from Putrajaya looks easy.
"Will the cars actually go around the corners? Well, no idea but I guess we're gonna find out during the race"

It seems that that turn has the same layout as one of the monaco gp turns. So it just do some changes on inclination and would work fine.
