Simple modification to Monaco is to remove the hump in the road from casino to mirabeau to create an overtaking opportunity into turn 5

[@eboomer]

In Monaco, extending the back straight through the tunnel by a little bit would not change the reasons why almost no passing occurs on the highest speed section of the track - that the drivers use up all the road width through the tunnel, and then you are immediately into a downhill breaking section the moment you are done navigating that curving tunnel section. If they could move the chicane farther away so that there is some space between exiting the bending tunnel and braking for the chicane, then MAYBE that might help a tiny bit? Or if you want to see the F1 drivers around the circuit and actually passing, maybe have a karting exhibition event for the F1 drivers to compete in on the same weekend for charity or something? 🤔

My understanding about that chicane early on in Yas Marina is that it exists for spectator safety. Without that chicane the speeds are too high with no runoff between the corner and the grandstands. Ditching it would absolutely improve the circuit though.

[@jonathanlund2456]

Honestly, most of these redesigns aren't great. Starting with France, the issue there is really dirty air before the Mistral Straight. That problem should be sorted with the 2022 cars though, as the dirty air will be greatly reduced. Beausset has been ruined as well, being a brilliant fast corner where cars can go side-by-side if they get out of signes together. The final sector definitely has potential, but that chicane looks very awkward, and would just let gaps increase onto the pit straight. Sochi would not really work for the T7-T9 section, as the dirty air through 7 will kill any passing opportunity into 8. Turn 8 is also a nice corner, and the flow there is ruined. Bypassing the 15-16 chicane is a big improvement, and the last two corners are improved, although the space taken up might mean that it is impossible. The pit entry could be improved with this last corner, with potentially an 80kph speed limit, which decreases the pit delta. Abu Dhabi's chicane before the hairpin has to exist, for safety. If the drivers did just skip it, the FIA would DQ them, or just not sanction the event. The new section at the harbour could work, but the issue there would be runoff, as the facilities there would restrict what could be done. Spain's big issue is dirty air, so bypassing the chicane is a big no. There is a reason that F1 stopped using the chicane. The dirty air through the final corner would be a lot worse without the chicane, so passing would be a lot harder, as the following car can't carry enough speed to be close down the straight. The tighter new turn in S2 would give a passing place, but looks too tight to race well. Monaco's change is one that I do like, and it could work well. Moving nouvelle back could help as well, if a new area is built just like the existing chicane. Singapore's arena section (T16-19) will be torn down in a year or two iirc, so there could be a straight between the current T16 and 19. The final corner would require a lot of building work, especially as it requires a lot more runoff than the current corner. China's redesign could work very well, but the racing there can be very good already, so it doesn't really need to change.

[@felito21]

Hmmm

[@ItsComingHome2026]

If you didn’t say to change that part in Abu Dhabi 5:59 Lewis might have won the championship

[@WhiskyCanuck]

Problem with altering Yas Marina is all the buildings. Can't change many parts of it because it's routing around a building. For removing that chicane into the hairpin, that works except now you have a big braking zone with no run-off (a big building & grandstand is right there). You can however also move that hairpin up 20 meters (closer to where the chicane currently is) with a curved exit onto the long straight. YM also has a bunch of off-camber turns, if the track was re-profiled so that these turns banked in instead of banking out, following would be a lot easier.

[@JackingtonKensington]

The incredible thing is the changes they've made are almost exactly what you suggested for Abu Dhabi, well done!

[@ventiman2624]

I was waiting for this since you revealed the thumbnail in the last video, lol 😂

[@JB22.]

Damit, you put two of my favourites. Singapore and Sochi. I would like to see the Singapore sling back tho and the removal of that off camber chicane at Sochi, but they’re very satisfying tracks to drive.(at least on the f1 game) Also the original intention was to not have that chicane at Yas Marina but the stand behind it meant that they couldn’t get the runoff needed.

[@jondash2939]

I am sorry but sochi is so crap to drive on the f1 game its so ded its just break turn break turn break turn

[@TommoMcCluskey]

Sochi... is one of your favourite tracks???

[@ondrapinker3686]

@@TommoMcCluskey i hate to watch Sochi gp, but on an F1 game it is really good to drive on. On the other hand, I absolutly hate do drive in China and (of course) Spain and 3rd sector in France

@@TommoMcCluskey that section between the 180° turn and the 2nd DRS str8 is sooo satisfying to drive

@@TommoMcCluskey yeah it’s a shit race to watch but decent to drive. On the other hand I’m not a huge fan of Suzuka so maybe I’m just weird?🤔

Hi tommo im a Singaporean here...just wanna add that the grandstand at turn 18-21 (part that u want it to be removed to make long straight to the last corner) is going to be demolished soon to construct a venue called NS Square which will be done at around 2025 so the circuit layout is up in the air for the future. As for that youth olympic park theres a highway and a big bridge that starts from the road beside it so it cant just be demolished and make the track go through there. Cheers :)

I love how Hungaroring is not on the video while it is a horrendous track, almost impossible to overtake and that track has been revised once already

[@ohaatageldi]

Well this was recorded late, Imola's back!

[@TommoMcCluskey]

🙌🙌🙌

[@CIinbox]

Yep, Imola needs to fixed for sure. Of all the optional tracks, they pick this one!

[@gigadonis8684]

@@CIinbox How would you fix it? Imo, the track flow is brilliant. The only change I would make is to go straight on at the small right kink before Rivazza and then make Rivazza a tight hairpin and then have it open up like Parabolica (@Monza). However, this would reduce the chance of an overtake at Variante Bassa, although we could create a "new" Variante Bassa by switching the side of the pit boxes and reversing the direction of the chicane, also removing the small right kink that proceeds Variante Bassa. I thought of placing it after the start line, but there is a restaurant there and Italian's love their food, so I wouldn't want to remove it. Saying that though, I would absolutely YEET the ice skating arena at Sochi, cos, who really actually cares about ice skating.

[@gigadonis8684]

Okay, the Variante Bassa would be the same direction, just further out. I AM STUPID

[@XenophonSoulis]

Unfortunately.

[@crawfordbrown75]

Tommo, can't _believe_ you didn't fix Sochi turn one two complex You didn't remove the chicane in the Paul Richard straight You added MORE chicanes to Sochi and Paul Richard. You didn't fix turn one two in Barcelona

what is wrong with turn 2 in barcalona?

[@crawfordbrown75]

@@TvLOverdose it's very single line and the approach angles are not sharp enough, so you have to be completely alongside

[@evann5451]

The only problem I have with this is all the sharp corners you added. I love smooth flowy tracks far better than jagged weird ones

[@brendanpeterson3928]

The problem with taking the chicane out of the first modification at Abu Dhabi is that their is no runoff for it. The stands are right there so you would have to knock down a portion of it

[@onurb8552]

Another fantastic video!

[@gullebring7478]

Who’s here after the Yas Marina changes have been announced?

[@gregwatts7359]

I’d argue Hungary as well, only realistic overtaking chance is turn 1

[@RoyalMela]

I would add a totally new section to Monaco, removing the casino section of Massenet and Casino corners. Instead of driving to Casino after uphill section, you make a tight sweeping left after Beau Rivage and drive behind the Casino at Avenue Princess Alice. There you have 120 meters of straight, followed by slow right-left-right, driving Boulevard de Moulins for 250 meters and making a 90 degree right hander to Avenue de la Madone. There is a good overtaking section with heavy braking zone. That following section of Madone makes a rapid S-turn, and then rejoins the old circuit before Mirabeau, almost right after former Casino corner. Few slow speed corners added, but also one longer part, where overtaking is possible.
