Street Track Failures: Episode 48 - Beijing

[@tydyeracinggaming4742]

Hello Everyone! Hope you're all doing well. 👍I just thought I'd let you know that I'm going to take a week's break, as the last few weeks in particular have been very hectic on my channel, and I don't want to risk putting out content for the sake of quantity rather than quality. Sorry about that but I hope you understand. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the video. 😀👍

[@Blue-6]

Hey that's okay, you just have a good time😊.

[@eholanda01]

Enjoy your week off 👍🏻👍🏻

[@UncleJoeLITE]

Mr Beast doesn't take time off...surely the many TDR staff could pitch in & get stuff out?

20 likes ill count every 90 degree corner in this series edit: oh gosh i didn’t think this would happen

[@flook6009]

now do it

[@BCat2]

@@flook6009 OH CRAP I HAVE TO

[@Exponaut_R-01]

I'm calling at least 90

[@FlashoftheBlades]

While the Cape Town Formula E circuit is better, this one is still better than the Beijing Street Circuit that A1GP used. Formula E could’ve put on a better show around that track, but not by much.

[@redditreadz972]

Instead of 90 Degrees, you could substitute that with other angle measurement systems, such as 100 Gradians, or pi/2 radians.

[@andrewdotmp4]

quite possibly the street circuit of all time

[@volatilelion657]

Nice series! I love your videos. For a street track failure I'd recommend Potrero de los Funes. It's a track that almost everyone loved. I say almost because the locals had to go to court, and defeat the province there, to stop using the place because of noise and location polution

[@HangmanOfficialUploads]

I love the weekly TyDye 90 Degree Corner counter. Cheers, mate, keep up the good work, you're doing great work documenting a lot of forgotten or not often spoken about tracks in this series that are very difficult to find any evidence of ever existing besides on paper sometimes. Especially some of the tracks from the 80s and early 90s.

Wellington Street Course in New Zealand

[@MalloryMinerva]

I watched that first ever Formula E race and honestly the only thing I remember is those final moments with the crash, and Di Grassi being the unhappiest race winner I've ever seen. The track is honestly very mid.

[@orionparish9858]

Ignore everyone who suggests Macau. Because then you would have to do Monaco as well.

[@wendigockel]

If it weren't for those nauseating chicanes, this track would be pretty similar in character to the Sydney Olympic Park circuit. Now that I think about it, there's quite a number of street circuits situated in Olympic parks...

[@kierancobley5356]

I know it’s not exactly a fantastic circuit but if formula e did some sort of anniversary series in the future (say 20th or 25th) made up of tracks/races that comprise a history/greatest hits of formula e I wouldn’t be opposed to them using this circuit for the first race of that season

[@AeroGuy07]

This is just about the right amount of 90° turns.

[@MRTransportVideos]

The good thing that Beijing had was that, unlike so many others *cough Battersea Park*, there was a decent amount of width, allowing for more opportunities for potential overtakes/fake overtakes/side-by-side action, which helped the overall racing in what was, at the time, a new formula with new cars that had new characteristics that needed to be explored and fine-tuned... as well as the circuits themselves.

[@DanielHarveyDyer]

It does feel a lot like the designed a perfectly normal street track on good wide roads, and then the engineers said "wait, a Formula E car can only go 400m before it needs to brake or the battery dies" and they had to scramble in a load of chicanes.

[@MRTransportVideos]

With the 1st Gen car, there may well have been a "better safe than sorry" element in the track design (that said, there were circuits with decent straights), but Gen 3 negated that need quite considerably, leading to the use of Full Monaco and Partial Mexico City (for instance), and the latest update, which brings in 'refuelling', should negate that still further - there is still the safety aspect of having cars travelling at 270kph on streets, so the need for chicanes wil remain, but hopefully they'll be able to find Cities with a more flowing road system AND make more use of Road courses.

[@Jasongilliar]

Hell yeah, a new 90° right hander asmr video Thanks for making so many of thouse asmr Videos lately, thats simply lovely

[@dmg02]

I would love to see a new series called street circuit success where he talks about some of the best street tracks and why they are so good in terms of layout and racing

[@JTeam45]

Hope to someday see "Street Track Legends" and get some stuff like Long Beach and Monaco and their notable histories

[@XxmetalHeadxX88]

Street Track Failures Columbus Street Track (IMSA)

[@neaulllann]

For the question Cape Town 100% Could you do Dallas Fair Park for a future episode

[@chriscarpenter1703]

I’d have to take a look and see if you’ve covered it (I don’t think you have), but the Reno Grand Prix track should get a look eventually!

[@jobian1279]

Love it fun week of formula E tracks

[@RCVictoryLane]

SCCA Trans Am San Diego

[@kyleolson8977]

Have you thought about changing the channel name to TyDye 90 Degree Turns?

[@jonaszahid3892]

The Marrakech Street Circuit would be nice to cover

[@MigontheRoad]

Not really a failure, plus it's a banger track and has been in the calendar for quite a few seasons, including being a replacement to Vancouver in season 8

[@adiseagledostuff]

any chances for lippo village street circuit getting covered?

[@nicolesgaming8917]

This or Cape Town? Oh, Cape Town by a light year.

[@DennyThePanther]

I swear I thought you did Beijing already lol

[@SportIce]

do you have a discord server to discuss upcoming videos, or more unused racing tracks?

[@Exponaut_R-01]

What a strange track I'm not going to rate it too highly but it's weird how they kinda did about as much as they could only having two corner types And it highlights the nature of chicanes They ARE all "just chicanes" but they drive slightly different from one another despite looking just about the same

[@Jasongilliar]

We need a new one

[@新月龍]

Cape Town of course

[@UncleJoeLITE]

2 for 1 today TDR! Started watching, got interrupted, so twice the watch time! _I won't comment negatively on FE tracks again! They don't really count!_ 🏴‍☠🤣

[@AlonsoRules]

Nashville next lol

[@Lastname6955]

Does Hanoi count as a failure?

[@JackOldenburg]

You need to do pau or Macau

[@17Uhr23]

I swear to god, this has to be one of the worst ever tracks. Period. A lot of flicks to break speed because the cars couldn't handle it, no corners that are not 90°, a driver that should've been DSQ'd but wasn't because of his last name (although the circuit can't do much about that, can it)... not creative at all and thank god gone. Btw @TyDye what do you think of the 2024 Formula E season opener? :)

[@BoxInThisLapVR46]

Shame Formula E is no longer free to watch in the UK

[@PEPSIMaxMusic]

I just use a Bahamas VPN and watch via KZbin

[@chazmyster]

Latifi streams website streams them straight from tnt

[@tourmaline07]

These circuits are exactly why I have no time for Formula E - completely mickey mouse for the most part. I'd be interested if they raced on real racetracks , even shorter ones , rather than these circuits.

[@emptyplaysnz]

Wellington 1996 please

[@eholanda01]

Beijing has been tipped to host a second F1 race in China. Team bosses and F1 apparently really wanted this race. This layout without the Mickey Mouses chincanes, and 2.5 km longer, would perhaps be appropriate to host F1. They would have to find a better position for the Pit Lane and Paddock. But yes, with China returning to F1 this year, Beijing, and this same location, could be a strong candidate to host F1.

[@ryobibattery]

CHINA

[@dmgextra1576]

Mickey Mouse Chicanes 👎👎🤢

[@michaelingleton3048]

@tydyeracinggaming4742 I absolutely love your content and videos. So much so whenever I make hotlap videos, and I say 90 degree corner, I can't help but smile or laugh. That's completely down to you. Keep up the great work you do
