Oh so Killing 1 million Iraqis does not count.. what about the US imprisoning more Black people than apartheid South Africa... and let's not forget Police brutality or school shootings.. I guess all these are fine if it's done by a western country
It’s been clear since the start of this project that Autosport has took a big wedge to promote this track. Journalists for hire clearly. Wait for the human rights issues to surface and Autosport has supported it
Humans rights issues is a funny thing when you look at the bigger picture. Most turn a blind eye to genocide or war crimes in one instance but jump on the band wagon in the next. The ignorance and hypocrisy stinks but a sad reflection of society on the whole.
F1 and blood money just go together, since the beginning. Tobacco sponsors, oil company sponsors, crypto sponsors, gambling sponsors, going ahead with events despite deaths, having Saudi Arabia as a sponsor now is just a natural progression until that gets banned.
@@aarongreen121 my point is more that journalists are supposed to be impartial. If they are taking payments in return for positive publicity and a blind eye to their issues, then who can the public turn to for honest news
@@nestroit5010 - The track(s) is not the problem. The cars are. Too wide, too long and weigh 800kg. 2026 formula looks to change the cars length, width and weight.
In fairness to Tilke, he's just doing his job most of the time and working to standards the FIA sets for F1 circuits. If you wanna know what the man is really capable of, look up Bilster Berg or pay very close attention to how wild the elevation changes at COTA are. Tilke often acts as the fall guy, but he's just a good racetrack designer doing work for really shitty bosses. Doesn't excuse him completely, but it's worth remembering that he isn't making soulless tracks on purpose. It's kinda like the F1 chassis rules - the teams aren't TRYING to make whales, they're just following the FIA's formula. Pirelli aren't that bad at making tires, they're just following a directive. It seems simplistic to blame all of F1's biggest problems on its leadership, but it's usually the truth.
Circuit layout looks very promising. 30% it actually gets built. 100% Saudi propaganda. Would rather have Kylami or a proper race is Finland or Sweden or the crazy ocean side track in Croatia Edit: was really hoping Tilke wasnt involved but what do you know he is here ruining more of F1
The crazy ocean side track in Croatia is called Dragon Trail, and has sadly not been built yet :( If they were to get it to F1 standards, they would most likely reprofile the famous 'Death Chicane', because even in racing sims it causes absolute carnage.
Not again... I rather want to see Portimao again, or the Nürburgring back in F1 than a new racetrack in the middle of the dessert with atrocious 3d rendering that doesn't look like will be built 100%
instead of building this city, they couldve used a quarter of that money and sponsor tracks such as Sepang and Kyalami to return again on the calendar.
Absolutely agree, but if track like Sepang, Kyalami, Portimão, Nürburgring GP, Hockenheimring, Istanbul, Yeongam, and Buddh can permanently return one day later, can you approved to used money and sponsor to building a city like this?
Just build a copy of Watkins Glen, Road America, Sepang etc. etc. Job done. No need for all the distractions around it, which let's be honest is only going to raise ticket prices.
Looks like a Mario Kart track.. the only track in the world where you can shoot red and green shells at other cars, also can you find all the short cuts!
I have no idea how those elevated bridge-like sections would pass inspection. A unusual scenario, but if you had a break failure and went up and over barricades (it's happened) that would be absolute curtains for whatever lucky soul did.
I both agree with you, but also this weekend we'll watch drivers climb Beau Rivage that would be the same disaster if someone fell off that cliff down to Neuveaux Chicane.
Not to mention where’s the safety barriers on turn 1, and when a car inevitably crashes there do they have a 15 story tall crane to remove it from the track?
Mmm, think of all the cryptocurrency ads you could superimpose over those beautiful natural cliffs I for one am completely sold by this soulless, rigidly corporate video and cannot wait to see Formula One cars in action at 'Speed Park Track™'
I don't understand why these companies use such absurd images to represent a projected city when it just makes it look more fake than if they just had a more basic 3d render of the project, especially when the area has a history of having doomed projects with too many promises (the line city for instance) I'm like just 50% confident this race will happen
They weren't many doomed and abandoned projects. First The Line city hasnt stopped construction nor scaled back by one centimeter as the ministry of economy in saudi arabia. Second, the jeddah is not owned by goverment, but its owned by some private sector companies, and it was stopped because of some corruption issues regarding to the owners. So all of what you hear from doomed and abandoned projects isn't true.
Andrew mallery at 10:14 is clearly speaking absolute rubbish that he’s memorised. what a joke! sportstwashing at its finest, another average track with an S section and some tight sections and then some crappy draw card ‘high elevation’ hairpin. impossible to get to and incredibly expensive. bring back south africa
This is never going to happen. This is another “The Line” or man made chain of islands. A lot of ambition in the Middle East, but with terrible execution (pun intended)
The Track map looks similar to Okayama in Japan... that Star Ship Enterprise shape. I don't know what to say. Even if it built and the race happens, can we really expect any sort of fan atmosphere.. no grand stands just hospitality suites???!! What is liberty thinking? It is Motorsport...not a Theme Park ride! A Magazine called "Autosport" is ppromoting this crap!
Look, here's a beautiful, unspoiled natural area, what should we do with it? Lets build a bunch of crap that could likely be an abandoned mess in 20 years!
I’m sure it will be just as boring as almost every track on the schedule right now. Tilke is known for making notoriously boring tracks. But what do I know, I’m sure more tracks In the desert will be great. “Imagine a track that goes under a pool” and who will be able to afford to experience that? They try to act like this is for everyone and not just the hyper rich.
Not going to lie. You know those ads that come up before the video? For me it was Tequila in a can. Yeah, like that's going to happen in "The Kingdom".
My only question if this happens is , is there going to be something over the track to keep people from thrown trash on the track. I can see someone trying to hit a driver
You want to make a track interesting. Set aside a portion of the track where a driver can select between one of two subtracks in real time. To make it fair and to ensure the same race distance for everyone. Half the laps should be run on one subsection, half the laps on the other subsection.
This looks so plastic and soulless, I wonder how many Myanmar labors will die making this. Although I have to say SA doing this while bridges fall in the US.
Wow, I did not expect that Autosport would sacrifice their integrity by presenting crass paid content as journalism. How did this happen? Did ABS threaten to cut off your fingers?
"This provides a unique environment where culture, sports and entertainment collide" People in the pool at 2:00 fully clothed, that's the culture they're talking about?

Anything other than another parade lap/ drs train type circuit would be good. This track with its elevation in open air will no doubt suffer from wind and sunlight blinding issues.
A track without multiple overtaking opportunities is hopeless and boring for drivers and spectators. No one mentioned this aspect which is very troubling, it's not a race track but another procession track. 2 hours of boring procession racing.
