"There was nothing identifying it to Sebring" -American Flag -Massive Car park -Cadilac Car Showcase -Massive Chevrolet Banner -American sponsors -Endurance Winners from early 2000s. That narrows it down to either Daytona or Sebring, and only one of them hosted F1.

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

Honestly valid

[@nathanstroud2223]

You can rule out Daytona, because even back when Grand Am had the same Le Mans-style prototypes as ALMS early on, before they went to the DPs, Audi did not enter. Not until 2012, and that was with privately-entered GT cars. You can find pics and I think there's video out there of an R8 prototype lapping Daytona in a vintage event, but that car never ran there in-period, nor did any of its successors.

[@herbertkraft7379]

11:55 "Is There an Ednurance race at Sebring?" DUUUUDE the 1000Miles and the 12h of Sebring Both are classic races. Take The Time to watch the 12h next year. IMSA is free to watch on their website outside the US. (Unfortunately the WEC race is not held there anymore) Edit because I was wrong: the 1000Miles do not have the history I thought they have. The WSC race was also 12h.

As a Ferrari fan who went to Spa in 2019 and saw Leclerc's victory live (sitting in Bruxelles/Turn 10), yes, people do indeed sit on the hills of Pouhon with their little chairs and stuff. The best part is actually the Kemmel Straight, where you suddenly see people appearing out of the woods on the left side of the track like wild animals😂😂

Yes. Yes there is an endurance race in sebring. It's one of the triple crown endurance races. 12h Sebring, 24h Le Mans, 24h Daytona.

[@connorleach6690]

Now that's a proper thumbnail!

[@Skylark3087]

with spa making an appearance and the facilities not being the best - yeah i went this year and in order get from one side of the track to the other you walk through the forest in the middle, the majority of which is just dirt so when it rains (like it did) it gets real muddy and just not fun to walk through (they also then close the tunnels to cross over so you either need to leave early and miss the race/quali or have to then walk around the entire track

[@Rocky712_]

I was there in 2021. It was a pain, especially with the rain the soil gets really muddy. I'm glad I didn't decide to stay at Kemmel Straight.

[@frankhuurman3955]

was there in 2019, fucking hot back then but horrible facilities for sure xD one drink stand for a few thousand people for a silver stand ticket. not going there again, heard NL has way better facilities

From this perspective I can kinda understand why FOM don't want to bother with this bullshit anymore and are trying to replace Spa.

11:51 the 12 Hours of Sebring forms one of the legs of the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing alongside Daytona and Le Mans. Alonso was unable to complete it as WEC would not allow him to compete in it due to conflict with their own Sebring event.

Watkins Glen has mostly campgrounds on the property but there are a few parking lots (it's america i'll use the right word) on the property, mostly near turn 1 and 2 where you get your pit passes. It was there where NASCAR superstar Jordan Anderson walked past me in 2021

Audi doesn't directly compete in the US, but does under Audi Sport with customer teams. Obviously the R8 race cars are in a bunch of US series. And who can forget those beautiful RS6's Champion Racing (a local dealer to me at the time) campaigned in the Aughts in the Speed GT World Challenge class.

I wish there were an F1 game where you could construct your own schedule or race any track that has been raced on in any Formula 1 schedule. Or a game where we could construct our own home track for our custom team! EA isn't cool enough for either of those though...

[@Donanzador]

Since most of these locations are photospheres made by private people, can't really blame google for misaligned markers or incorrect compass directions. Unfortunately also makes 0m (or sometimes even 5k) guesses near impossible, even if you knew the exact location.

Funny that as soon as i saw the Windmills, the Autumn feel, and the tight track. I immeditely think of Zolder. XD

[@krisb_aoe]

Crazy performance. Especially your last guess was awesome! The problem with GeoGuessr is, that you also have some unofficial maps like this one. And on this maps most of the time the creator didn't mark the exact spot... So 0m is very very hard. As a ACC player I recognize Zolder T1 in the first second... Didn't matter that is was completely blurry... It has to be Zolder T1 and I was right. Great video, want to see the next episode of it!

[@elodog1754]

I'm also a huge F1 and map nerd and I totally understand your urge to get the perfect score/0 meter guess. And can confirm that the markings are not always the most accurate.

[@RxseF1-13]

I wanted to hop on and do the map aswell, but then I found out you have to pay for Geoguessr? That is WILD, especially considering they are using Google Maps, a free service, for their platform, which is a paid service.

[@Shomononosh]

Google maps is free if you use the Google maps website. However it's a paid service if you want to use it for your own website or app, and having done some webmapping dev, I can assure you that it can get pretty expensive if you're getting high traffic (which I'm guessing geoguessr does)

Suggestion for a future video: Design a street-track in every current F1 drivers birthtown, and make a tier list of which track is the best. (Of course examples like Monaco and Montreal should be a redesign and not the actual tracks). Also: pretty new to the channel and loving every minute, a breath of fresh air in the (in my opinion waay to serious and boring) F1 community.

[@cyberfutur5000]

A good map is a very nice thing indeed. I'm curious how I would/will do, I'm the kind of idiot who bought flight simulator and checked all the F1 tracks I could think of. Fun fact, you wouldn't beliefe how many have warehouses on the start finish straight. I guess they use some studio magic to hide them in the live feed. Makes it quiet more impressive. (On a more serious note, I know from that that it's quiet hard to locate tracks on a map. even those you've been to or know that they are in a town called Monza, a bit north of Milan. Or the Hockenheimring, which you funnily enough are more likely to spot due to the part that isn't there anymore, than the part that still is in use) EDIT: Just for fun I try guessing and write my first guesses (or my last guess before you "spoil it") in the reply section of this comment.

[@cyberfutur5000]

1) Looks like buenos aires, on first sight. Oh japanese... Fuji then? Wow I forgot about that one... the "pacific GP" 2) Phoenix maybe? Detroit? Some horribel 90° corner thing... 3) Spa, init? (Is this asetto corsa advertisement? are they in ACC?)^^ 4) Hungaroring? (the building kinda looked like hungary, but nothing else did) 5) well yeah... what you siad Ok I would have done soooo much worse than you^^ Would have gotten Miami and Spa. Otherwise probably phoenix, fuji (maybe I would have thought about the mountain and remembered that there was a 3rd GP in Japan, but I just knew AIDA and Pacific for names. So... And no Idea if I would have gotten India, but I wouldn't have known the city.

[@cyberfutur5000]

round two... 1) Really? Huh... I would have second the Glenn. 2) Hm it said it. 3) Indy 4) spa again? 5) Looks like murica, is this Miami again? This time I still was very bad, but at least still in florida^^

[@cyberfutur5000]

round 3: 1) Déjà-vu da dada da daaa da da... 2) AVÜS aka. the OG berlin wall 3) Las Venturas, from GTA SA 4)Again, said it on the tin 5) Ok this actually made me sad. I know the track from race sims and it's one of my favorite tracks. Didn't know that they did this. And I thought we have it bad since Tilke an co castrated Hockenheim.

couple GeoGuessr things for people curious, there are only 77 locations in this map (you can see it on the first screen). With regards to Mr. V “being more accurate than Google”, you probably are!!! These are all photospheres and not official google coverage so the location data can be kinda off and the compass just doesnt work as you saw in that Miami round. Photospheres are just 360 photos that any random person can take and upload to Google Maps. Also watching Mr. V consider guessing Le Mans on what was to me a pretty easy Florida was crazy to see

Yeah in the 2000's you had ALMS (kinda European rules based) and Grand-Am (NASCAR messing with people) so for a while the 12hr of Sebring was in a different racing series than the 24hr of Daytona. All in all things turned out way better for sports car racing than the Indycar so eh?
