F1 drivers' LUXURY MOTORHOME tour!

[@MarkoVukovic0]

"I'm not even going to tell you how far we are from the track". 5s later "We are within 5 k's from the track". 🤣 Love this insight, Kym. These guys really do have it good. The chats around the camp in the evenings must be helluva interesting. Stay passionate!

[@paulroling1781]

Luckily the Austrian style house in the background does not give away the country. 😅

[@roadrunner6224]

I already found the place, he showed to much of the buildings around

[@rexbeau]

Just check out Valtteri's Strava ride from Friday, if he's staying here, it shows his route from the camping location to the track...

[@roadrunner6224]

@@rexbeau Valttersi ride ends close by the location of the Motorhomes, he probably turned it off before actually going back there as to not leak the location.

[@jorissaenen]

It took me literally 1 minute to find this camping spot: @3:00 barn with wood panels (Austria style) + continues noise of cars -> probably close to a highway. @6:38 A typical beige Austrian building @8:23 reflection of the typical Austrian building @8:49 You see both the reflection of the building and on the left side (behind the camper) the barn again! So we know even the positioning of the buildings. So this camping must be close to the Red Bull Ring! There's a highway next to the circuit and hundreds of campings! So which one is this? The drivers want some rest and security. So the camping will be close to the circuit, but also not too close to all the fan zones. With this info you can easily find the camping! :)

[@wackyack3165]

Near the old UK Silverstone circuit entrance, in the 'good old days when F1 drivers used to also drive in Saloon car and Sports Car races, after the races were over - you could go into a roadside Public House and find Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill and Jimmy Clark having a friendly drink together !!!

[@WarrenThrush]

Really enjoyed this peak behind the curtain. Thanks for the video, Kym!

[@marciabigg469]

Europe has driving hours regulations. 9 hours in a day, can be extended to 10 hours twice a week. 56 hours in a week, 90 hours in any 2 consecutive weeks. Every 4.5 hours you must have at least 45 minutes of breaks, can be split up into 2 breaks. They will have tachographs and there are severe penalties for not having a working tachograph and for falsifying data etc.

[@GNX157]

Why aren’t these campers set up inside the track confines everywhere? Just make a requirement of the promoter and track operators.

[@cotochris]

Isn't accomodation sorted out by the teams rather than the drivers themselves?

[@KymIllman]

No, sometimes the drivers use their allowance to book their own hotels or vans

[@cotochris]

@@KymIllman Cheeky me wonders if they use their allowance for Monaco! (the ones that live there ) 😊

Wish the crew was taken care of like this. They are the reason these drivers are famous. The car is the real star anyways

[@tomnewham1269]

but the crew don't suffer harassment from the fans. The crews do get looked after as well, they mostly stay in nice hotels and are provided meals cooked by a chef in the teams paddock box.

[@RiminiVirage]

Do you have what it takes to hustle an F1 car around Spa,Monza,Silverstone or Monaco at speeds of up to 220mph depending on the circuit? The car is a huge part of the package, but the driver is at least as important.

[@illiniarmory3142]

@@RiminiVirage hundreds and hundreds of drivers could do it that are never given a chance. F1 is a club of silver spoon in the mouth multi millionaire and billionaire families buying their way in at a young age. I pull for the poor driver that came from Nothing.

[@jasonstacy5587]

This is very common in NASCAR, as well. The motorhomes are usually inside the track, or just outside of it in a secure lot. Every track has a designated area, though.

[@dmpyron2]

Same with the NHRA

[@oceanbythevilla]

Same with Piston Cup.

[@JamesHoffa1]

F1 used to have them within the track but they banned it a few years ago for some reason.

[@musunshine31]

Driver motorhomes have been standard in American racing (indycar, nascar, etc) for decades. Most tracks have a Driver RV only lot. Funny that luxury trailors and RVs are common in The States. That's what comes with wider roads, open spaces, and big personal vehicles that can tow them.

[@AhmedNaas]

You need to stop vilifying the fans! We're not evil, we actually keep it all going, so to keep mentioning that the fans are a nuisance is very offensive! You keep looking at it as a business, but it won't run if no one's watching the ads, and attracting sponsors.

[@adida7485]

Mate when you mob a Driver who is just trying to eat dinner, yes you are a nuisance. They are people too and don't want to be annoyed. Fans keep it going by watching, paying and attending the races, media events and all that, not stalking. Maybe take a look at yourself

[@AhmedNaas]

@@adida7485 You sound like a politician sorry. And you missed my point entirely. I understand the need to respect the drivers of course, but enough with putting the fans last... I don't have issues with drivers avoiding crowds, I have issues with the way Kim keep mentioning fans as a nuisance all the time! Plus those are the minority, and most fans are respectful, and more importantly paid dearly to be there. Look at the video again, Kim mentions fans as a Mob way too often. It is a sport, and the sport is driven by the fans, not sponsors or media... no fans, no sport. You must be a young fan, but those who have followed the sport for 30 years remember the days when fans and drivers respected and valued each other.
