LOVE the old Österreichring! Another challenging circuit that demanded respect and courage to drive on, especially some of the blind spots. I also notice at 2:06 the car behind the two Ferrari hits one of those wooden(?) markers at the edge of the track ( right side ) and sends it flying high up into the air , classic!!! Thanks again for your wonderful video, appreciate it. Cheers from the USA.

[@ourafilmes]

Man, I did edit the video and missed that... Well spotted! Cheers from Portugal!

[@richardgolger5808]

...the markerers were hollw and of sheet metal, or more likely of plastic. They were the same as on regular streets. If they were of wood, they would have broken the car completely.

[@ljw5768]

I enjoyed that, thank you, especially the last film with James Hunt commentating. I went there for the 1986 Austrian Grand Prix and watched from just after the Texaco Chicane. Alain Prost won the race. (I am from Wales).

[@ourafilmes]

Thank you! Great stuff! It´s one of my favourite tracks ever! Cheers!

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

Jeeez, stefans car was totalled. Lucky he survived. I wonder how the deer fared. Great video man, i laughed at the de crasheris (rip). Its a shame they couldn't make the old track safer without changing everything. I was just reading the wiki page before I found your video and I didn't think there would be such a good video on the old track so big thanks!

[@ourafilmes]

Thanks for your nice words. Stefans car was a total wreck and his guardian angel was there for sure. I´m glad you spotted the De Crasheris subtitle. He was a true classic. Maybe we get Mazespin as a true successor! LOL! It´s a pitty they simply didn´t add run off areas... Cheers from Portugal!

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

@@ourafilmes do you know how Andrea de Cesaris died? (edit. Have a guess). God bless him. He was really good in both the Sauber and Jordan teams. It's just the 100 or so races before that most remember him by. I also love the clips on KZbin of James Hunt commentating on De Cesaris and other backmarkers. If you haven't watched them, i recommend you do!

[@ourafilmes]

@@MrMiD.Life.Crisis I think it was a motorcycle accident.

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

@@ourafilmes yes. God bless him. A crash.

[@Massivecarcrash]

I just wonder what happened with banked corners on F1 tracks? I know Brazil and Zandvoort have banked corners and excluding ludicrous banked turns like the one at the old Monza and AVUS, but they used to be alot more prevelant, why did they go out of fashion? Was it just the stress on tires and suspension or were they that dangerous?

[@ourafilmes]

Hi. Didid you check my Monza History video? All answer are there. It´s too dangerous! Drivers don´t want it. Cheers!

[@richardgolger5808]

Yesss! - If a driver lost control of the car in a banked curve, the track sent the car off like on a ski-jump... Or there is a massive wall where the car disintegrates on impact, like on the oval courses used in the american racing series.

[@beaconassassingaming741]

Another awsome vid!love seeing the original layouts of modern tracks.the classic footage is just amazing.Love Oura films!Watch all your vids.Thanks so much!

[@ourafilmes]

Wow, thanks. This is a crazy channel and my only way to communicate with people, I abandoned all other types of social media so thanks for your nice words!

[@JeffSyam]

3:46 Behind the destroying of any perfectly great race track, there is (always) Hermann Tilke

[@SennaStar]

And ruining them all

[@ourafilmes]

True words!

[@vprmn]

not for modern F1 CARS - no overtaking.

Great "puzzle" footage of this great track! Thanks for sharing

[@ourafilmes]

It´s difficult to find stuff from this track and this era of F1! Cheers from Portugal!

[@arji_lyfe]

What year was this? Thanks for showing us this old footage buddy 👍. Watched it until the end

[@ourafilmes]

Hi. Thanks. This was 1973, 76, 77, 82 and 85. Cheers!

[@scottsager1228]

Well done here

[@ourafilmes]

Thanks. Cheers from Portugal!

[@masokotanga7356]

I can almost feel the elevation changes. Looks like a rollercoaster. Respect to whoever designed it. Nothing like it.

[@ourafilmes]

It was a very fast and crazy track! I forgot to add the crazy 1986 race where an F1 car goes off road and disappears in the bushes!!

[@masokotanga7356]

@@ourafilmes Haha. I'll have to see if I can find that. Makes me think of the car that went airborne; up and over the trees at the 24h of Le Mans. I think it was 1999; if I remember correctly.

Rfactor 2 needs this roller coaster, I’d love to drive on it. I actually don’t mind the current track either except for the first turn which is almost impossible to see.

[@ourafilmes]

Old track was way better, demanding and longer!

[@arjenh7214]

Grand Prix Legends has it as an add-on.

[@geoffheard5768]

Red Bull Ring displays 2 things one can always find where corporate interests interfere. 1/ Utter greed and 2/ An utter lack of any form of imagination. We need to remove ALL corporate interests from the running of motorsport in general, and push them back into the 'sponsorship' roll where they belong. Most are incapable of running a piss up in a brewery. They display this fact constantly. Love your videos my friend, and this track, and all the old 'dangerous' ones are available to drive in Grand Prix Legends.

[@santumi2298]

4:00 I think saying that Tilke "destroyed" the track is a bit harsh. He kept the ideas, but not necessarily the feel, of the original circuit. There's still an uphill right as turn one, the track is still a rollercoaster, the final two sectors are flat out almost, and its a fantastic circuit for racing. Is it the original? No. Is it one of Tilke's best Grade 1 tracks? Easily. People often forget that Tilke did design some absolute bangers; Malaysia, Bahrain, The Red Bull Ring, Baku, COTA, Istanbul, Nurburgring GP, Korea, Buddh, Mexico City.

[@ourafilmes]

My friend, I don´t discuss opinions. Each one has one! Cheers!

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

Alain Prost actually said that if you put in run-offs(expecially at the 180 degrees Bosche Kurve), then this circuit would be safe again for F1. The redesigned circuit has lost so much of the flow and it's so stop and start with now tight apex corners for the first two corners.

[@ourafilmes]

Agreed.

[@mr.mirnikus7510]

this track is shit now, maybe for f1 it is different but motogp riders seem to struggle and crash a lot here and it is all because of hard braking zones and off camber curves that the old track didnt have

[@cobar5342]

The old track was great. I agree with Prost - just some run-offs improvement would have kept its character

[@ourafilmes]

I agree too. A pity the current short version...

[@ourafilmes]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@duckheadgaming]

lmfao the Hermann Tilke hateboner is incredible. Old track had pretty much no runoff and adding some is basically impossible bc you'd had to fill in insane amounts of land. The new track is great as it is, one of the best on the F1 calendar. Saying Tilke destroyed the track is just dumb as it would probably not exist anymore if it wasn't for these changes. Great old footage you got in the video, was fun to watch nontheless.

[@PyroBun_2844]

Hi ._.

[@duckheadgaming]

@@PyroBun_2844 👋

[@ourafilmes]

Man, I respect all opinions but that one is mine and that is what I believe. I know perfectly that Tilke´s job is not easy but here that was not even one original corner left!!! If you prefer the current short track without any fast corners, that is your opinion; I would love to have the old one back. It would provide much better racing and spectacle! Adding run-offs is not that hard, is it? (They just changed Eau Rouge - look at it) But that´s just me! Thanks for watching.

[@stuntslikeeveryday]

I watched this video because I think the modern layout is rather dull. And because Red Bull tried to bring the old layout back, but the landlords don't want to give it back.

[@boomshine7]

@@ourafilmes Eau rouge will never be eau rouge again, just like if u add huge runoff on Osterreichring it's just a whole different beast

[@nickruckdl]

Was at the Osterreichring for the 1984 Grand Prix. A true racing track that took both driver and car to the limits. Set in a beautiful setting too. A wonderful racing experience to be there. It’s a pity they absolutely butchered it and took away its soul. The Red Bull Ring is a totally synthetic, soulless and boring.

[@ourafilmes]

Thanks for your input mate. Agreed. Cheers from Portugal!

[@nickruckdl]

@@ourafilmes cheers from Ireland !

[@Marillionado]

Totalmente de acordo. Este circuito era espectacular como era originalmente. O mesmo crime foi feito no Estoril, onde mataram a curva 1,e a, do Tanque de forma totalmente desnecessária. Aliás, o ganhar escapatória na curva da Parabolica podia de igual forma ter sido feito na Curva 1 e na do Tanque, mantendo assim o virtuosismo do traçado original. Lamentavelmente assim não foi.

[@ourafilmes]

É uma colecção de erros! Obrigado pela visita!

[@Schorschi9]

Schade um den schönen Österreichring. Das war noch eine Fahrerstrecke! Und wunderbar für die Zuschauer.

His balls just fell off at that moment... LOL!

[@zebop917]

It was bad enough when Tilke designed circuits from scratch. When he was let loose on classic circuits like this, it was just a disaster.

[@ourafilmes]

Agreed!

[@JeffSyam]

Man I have a comment myself, but yours is EPIC! What he's done to Hockenheim & Catalunja were a total,... wreck!

[@santumi2298]

Honestly no. The Red Bull Ring is more than a good enough track for racing. It's short, wide, and has a good chance of rain, making for good racing.

[@JeffSyam]

@@santumi2298 It was great,... now yes,... it's (only) good enough.

[@boomshine7]

No track is complete without a de Crasheris crash

[@ourafilmes]

True words right there mate!

[@reptongeek]

Although it should be said that year he was fired by Ligier, he didn't crash much in races. Most of his accidents therefore took place in either practice or qualifying
