more track tours around abandoned tracks please! really like this series

Exploring the old part of Hockenheimring seems interesting

[@kben24]

The final sector at Valencia was pretty fun to drive on F1 video games.

[@nikolaypanayotov2995]

I didn't expect the track to just be there. I though there are buildings built or new streets.

[@eltruenopai1828]

Yeah valencian government still has not paid the construction workers of the circuit

[@AlonsoRules]

The Valencia Government is broke, they can't afford to tear it up. A well spent €200 million.

[@yuma8251]

Maybe the abandoned part of the Hockenheimring could be amazing

6:35 doing the yellow flag reenactment was really good aldas has some pretty good reaction times.

[@justinm.1]

Sometimes I wish Valencia came back on the calendar, now they got some more buildings that would’ve surrounded the track 🤔

[@AZBCDEE]

Valencia was a shitfest go back to 2009-11, especially 09 there were 0 overtakes except the pit lane one between grosjean and another car can’t remember. Don’t know why you’d want a track with 0 overtakes when there’s Monaco that offered one overtake

[@TCCcompetition]

@@AZBCDEE just because its nice to drive :D

[@RolfeeeMusic]

@@AZBCDEE Perhaps with today's cars, especially if the 2022 regulations are successful in making following cars easier, maybe the layout could work again? Valencia was the only race I ever got to go and watch, so it has a special place in my heart.

[@raydrew7444]

@@RolfeeeMusic its not about following tho its about the fact u cant overtake

[@RolfeeeMusic]

@@raydrew7444 2012 saw a lot of overtaking, if cars are closer to each other then the back straight at least offers a good opportunity to overtake.

[@chrismathew7525]

This trio is very different yet soo comforting which is sooo good!!!!

[@JoePCool14]

Can't wait for your tour of the abandoned Jeddah track in 2032!

[@ragingrhino101]

The last race there was, what, 10 years ago? It's weird seeing an abandoned track of races I have seen

[@veicotw]

Great video! I'd love to see more abandoned tracks, like Reims in France

[@JustinW2980]

The beginning of the video reminded me of the old street circuit on the Wellington waterfront here in NZ. That circuit made way for public works to improve the waterfront area. Clearly Valencia needs to do something about the ‘permanent’ section of the track as clearly no races will ever be held there again.

[@fusixnrwicnwiejciwj8925]

I had Flashbacks Of Alonso Winning From 11th place

[@maximilianmeier1441]

Quality content! Please do more abandoned tracks.

[@zecunha7840]

If you need ideas, in Porto, you have circuito da Boavista. Had f1 in the 50s and from 2003 to 2013 had races from wtcc (now wtcr) there are two layouts: the f1 you cannot see because one part was completely changed and other was reasphalted. The wtcc layout you can see. The wtcc paddock is now used as a covid test center. It is almost like Valencia but without any part where it looks like a closed track as it is a street circuit

[@Guimaster127]

YOU GUYS WERE HERE IN VALENCIA?!! Dang, had I known I would've gone to the circuit 😂 Great video guys, as always :)

[@aramvillar3252]

Victor Abad will be proud of you guys!

Check out Singapore street circuit, it's all open. I only realised I was walking on the circuit when noticed the certain parts of the pavement paint in red and white, next thing I know I'm on the second to last corner. Plus its worth it to see the city of Singapore, must warn it is ridicoulously humid.

[@dannyiswandyy8275]

It's not abandon tho

[@Guimaster127]

8:42 Yeah, I should visit the track more often 😂

[@AliHussain23609]

I'm not sure why they just abandoned it, it's such a good track

[@jdmdriver34]

Not much funding left, not much incentive from the government, less spectators year by year, and finally, very few good races in there from 2008-2012, you basically couldn’t overtake in that track so the spectacle overall was like Russia excluding 2021. Only in 2012 we had actually a very chaotic and surprisingly good race, but it was too late sadly

[@AliHussain23609]

@@jdmdriver34 Oh ok thanks

[@josiahboatengmyrie]

@@jdmdriver34 these new cars would be perfect for this track

[@jdmdriver34]

@@josiahboatengmyrie maybe, but the damage was done almost 10 years ago already, so there’s no way they could think about what could’ve been back then

[@ia303]

it was actually a pretty mediocre track, known for being very difficult to overtake on. If it stayed on the calendar into the turbo-hybrid era, it would have definitely been seen as one of the worst tracks on the calendar. 2012 was just a crazy race.

[@bimoaa]

I played this in the old F1 2009 and F1 2012, I never realized that it looked like Imola

[@highspeedhawk]

AVUS in germany, sitges terramar in spain and clermont ferrand in france would be good tracks to visit.

[@sebvettel5]

I loved this circuit on the old f1 games

[@KD-oi9sk]

Worked at that race 4 times. Fantastic city and location for a race, but track wasn't much good. TBF though the organisers laid on a shuttle boat that would pick you up and drop you off at the back of the paddock and they also had a couple of fridges in media centre they would keep stocked with free ice cream.

[@d.m.007]

Did you notice that not a single one of the superstructures on the old track is anchored in the ground? It's all just parked, almost as if they'd like to have a few races again. Then you'd just have to carry everything away, clean up the track and off you go!

[@lucadagod3834]

Great video! Keep it up

[@ThistleThings]

I can see how without the barriers you’d think this is perfect for F1 but once it had the barriers up it was basically Sochi before Sochi

Not really F1 related but you guys should check out the abandoned Bugatti factory in Italy. It's just fun seeing you guys in those places. And for the Bugatti factory. Michael Schumacher was there to pick up his EB110 so at least some F1 connections 😄

We had already researched it however it’s been been brought by a new owner with development work already starting, great suggestion though!

It is sad, but i think the condition of the area/track completely falls on the government/organizers of the race not F1. Those barriers look like they are still in usable condition though, another street circuit could offer to buy them.
