The line 5 recieved its permission in January 2023 btw

Cheikh Anta Diop would probably have pretend that black people were building this at the same period as they also build Stonehenge

The fact that the train was late and you missed your bus, sums up everyday life quite a lot

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.👍🏼

As a belgian i heard of this and i took a look and i find absolutely nothing No metros no trash cans and no benches its is real weird .

There always has to be some shitty graffiti.

3:18 Casually speaks perfect French

My city! 😊

There are rumors some Chinese company is trying to flog one of these to Tangier, Morocco. I hope it stays a rumor.

This was very cool. Thank you!

This is one of the most interesting KZbin videos I have seen in a long time, and probably one of the best stories of 20th Century industry. The only question I have is what is that red & white buoy like thing ?

Excellent vid

Two minutes into the video, and that's more than I ever knew. However before this video, I did happen to know of those wooden race tracks of that era

That's one of the most incredible mad-ladish pieces of engineering I've ever heard of.

I can unequivocally state that I have visited and camped at the 150th Meridian in Australia. But this has absolutely nothing to do with the video... 😂

Wow. How many bad reasons can I think of for rooftop racetracks. In practical terms that is. In romantic terms, I love it!

Never heard of this, pretty cool.

Thank you.

I just found your channel today and I’ve been binge watching… I love this old video from 2019 with no narration… but I like your newer ones with narration, too… you’re funny and informative 🎉

We have one of those in Buenos Aires. Now's an apartment building with some restaurants but back then used to be Crysler's building

Got to visit this place, so "get yer skates on mate"...

I always thought the acronym was “Fix it again Tony”

The granapy.

Always nice if someone teaches those less then hundred year olds.

In the US, City of Cincinnatti Ohio built a subway system that never opened.

Swell video. Very interesting.

We shouldn't call it metro it's just regular tram, and I am pretty sure that Amsterdam has more trams than Charleroi has "metro" lines

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.

So sad that I cant upload pictures in comments!! Just stood at the exact same point like at the start of the video. My girl and I went looking vigorously for the arago dot at the Louvre.. :p

Love Racing Club great video cheers 🍺

Change, bring us together,running through the shadows

Fantastically preserved

please can you do a video about the Twyford Viaduct and the abandoned train line it sits on

Why is there no graffiti. Such as 'Stop Brexit!' Italians are experts on tunnel making. NZ brought out Italians to build the Rimutaka Tunnel.

I wonder if the wickhams had just altered their building design to put another "house" on the other side of the tower that matched the watch businesses facade and made it a specialty shop, maybe they would have had more success? Just a curious thought, cause yeah it looks unbalanced

Thank youTtim, you just rememberd me how youtube was when i liked it. Interesting, informative, lovely made Videos. Keep on going,

...I wonder how many pirate fans had just brain.exe error at 2:11, because I most certainly had. I really liked the video. Honestly. But my brain tripped and rolled over to the periphery of my skull, and still can't get back on track:P Still liked the video:P

to be fair "high speed" back then wasnt very fast, and those tracks clearly had plenty of room

Everybody has Fancy Pants in Nancy France!

I love the use of the Crossroads theme and the Spice Girls song Stop. Who played the music? Was it you? You should really have a second channel or playlist where you put up the full-length versions.

This isn’t a Easter egg but,the trains in Singapore have chimes to indicate the train is arriving,and also these chimes are available in trains

Man I really love your channel

I've owned Fiats since 1978 and love them. Yes, the name FIAT really stands for Fix It Again Tony. But Fiats have always been ahead of the game. My 1978 Fiat has side intrusion bars in the doors to protect me in a side impact (introduced in 1974, second car in the World to have them). (Toyota fitted their first SIBs in 1999). Roll over protection that prevents deformation in 70mph roll overs. (I've tested that). Body construction that prevents passenger cage deformation in speeds up to 70mph, (I tested that too, 110kph backwards into a concave gravel bank; shortened the car 12" and yet the doors still opened). The fuse box has facility for electric windows and AC. (not fitted in Aussie cars but available since 1974). I have a lovely Art Deco 2 page ad from a French automobile magazine from 1926. I will see this track one day.

I assumed they put the test track on the roof because they wanted to keep prying eyes away from new models being tested. ….Tom

6:47 mushroom trash can :)

I'm surprised it hasn't been upgraded into a flying boat category.

The acronym FIAT actually stands for Fix It Again, Tony

interestingly, racing cars or other vehicles on rooves of large factories, even without a proper track, was very popular in the united states at around the same time iirc? i know it was mentioned on an architectural tour of chicago i took on a couple occasions

'metro' A subway system in a city, especially Paris

What's crazy to me is how much your camera moved when you walked past it 🤫
