Street Track Failures: Episode 52 - Beijing

[@jeffreypostma6832]

You need an extra visor to see through the smog on this track. That is a thick soup, made even worse by the grey concrete walls.

[@mat2000100]

That's fog from the impending rain

[@richardfic]

And we're not even done, as there is Beijing being used by A1GP, which was ... interesting...

[@neaulllann]

u mean atrocious i guess

[@jack4688]

Just another sunny day in China…

[@WynnofThule]

You know, the narrowness of that track section almost seems vindicated these days considering the both Baku City Circuit (which was even Grade 1) and the Seoul Formula E circuit exist or existed.

[@frankiemouse992]

That final chicane is insanely quick, I love it. Turns 3-4 are an almost exact copy of the Ascari chicane but in reverse.

[@rafleggy2fast486]

The narrow part is, well, very narrow, but I think we've seen worse in this series. Not in straight but def in corners and chicanes. Heck, FE has some corners that look like they're made to cause crashes.

[@felixlueggerto]

Speaking of Chinese Street Circuits. The BRP GT series ran on street Circuit backbin the 90s

[@WynnofThule]

Yep, that was one in Zhuhai before they made the permanent track

[@lukeracer97]

TyDye RacingGaming post, it's a good day

[@isaacsmith2224]

The smog in the air makes me sick just watching this video...

[@DuddleBug5]

You could do a history of street circuits series or street track successes series

[@tojan8313]

Big thanks for adding the track layouts in the latest track explanations, makes it much easier to follow 👍

[@comedypur9212]

i love this street track series xd

[@comedypur9212]

i may also have another track that fits the shanghai street circuit dtm drove only once in 2010 and before as a non championship event on a different layout in 2004

[@mat2000100]

Super League formula raced during an apocalypse? Bathurst 92 and Japan 14 say hi.

[@randombread7535]

how about a circuit in the Caribbean with the curaçao Grand Prix

[@LJW1912]

I'm glad I didn't imagine this series existing, I remember watching a race on Motors TV and just wondering whose idea this was

[@robdavies82]

I remember this. This track also sprung to mind when they somehow approved of Baku getting a grade I license with that narrow section. I can only assume it’s because of the slow speed nature compared to driving flat out over the bridge here.

[@KimiFan2002]

Oil Money, that’s how😂😂

[@StephenGibson829]

I know you're likely sick of these vids, so why not do a twist? Street Track Successes

[@ruricklodder]

this track looks interesting to be drive on

[@g-chanthesage79]

I would like to make a case for the Birmingham street circuit in the UK for this series, a late 80s early 90s track that hosted lower formula and one BTCC race.

[@DerGeraet205]

That final chicane looks awesome at that speed! I was wondering about the poor visibility in some of the clips, was it foggy or were there super low flying clouds? Still hoping for the 90th episode special on 90 degree corners btw! Lol

[@rossman2397]

in Beijing? Probably Smog

[@Jasongilliar]

Thank you sooo much for making another of thouse videos, your a legend. And thouse pictures look stunning. I wish i couldve watched the secound race with rain, that looks hella awsome

[@jomichel3594]

I though you would talk about another Beijing track from 2010 in the one that the DTM used that year, although the other question you could ask why are there so many failed tracks in Beijing allown

[@sappymy]

F1 Russian GP (2014-2021)

[@DaytonaPrototypes]

Wonder how the drivers could even see through that smog 🤔

[@shig.bitz.3205]

Awesome editing on this one! Enjoyed as always

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

Hope all is well mate.

[@Oz_Darkr1d3r]

Unbelievable smog how can anyone do anything athletic in China?

[@FlashoftheBlades]

Still looks better than the Beijing A1GP circuit.

[@maxb148]

TyDye says 90° corner, and I like the video

[@godwindracing6056]

In honesty, i went to Beijing just after the Olympics (in November), the pollution is beyter than that of London and NY

[@crystalracing4794]

Poor track design and marshals is a common feature in Chinese motorsport.

[@ZeldaA_91]

Will always have a kinda soft spot for this racing series.

[@jasminleclerc6]

you should do a video on the Montreal ePrix at some point

[@caseyf14483]

the smog... jeez....

[@Exponaut_R-01]

Alternate formulas, especially the ones that died out quickly, don't get much documentation and it's a shame.

[@AlonsoRules]

This is a top 3 worst street track on this list. San Jose and Niagara Falls are the other 2 imo.

[@RCVictoryLane]

San Diego SCCA Trans Am

[@ADAKAR83]

Make DTM China excursion... When also hole covers where flying.

[@godwindracing6056]

1990 Montreal WSPC round also had loose manhole too and that destroyed 2 cars including a Porsche of Brun Motorsport. Also last year's Las Vegas GP

[@djorgiedjoerkaef3740]

🏎️ + ⚽ = Super League Formula before Formula E

[@freshtea228]

1 Minute ago. Nice. I smoke a joint when watching these, I had just rolled one when I saw this was live. Thx Mr.TyDye

[@villehursti]

Nice smog.

[@Speedyxr159]

Nice vid

[@gobills737]

tydye u make good videos

[@michaelstaunton1632]

👍👍

[@FyodorTeotokopulos]

Çin yine sıçırttı

[@ZeroCrystal]

Pièce de rèsistance? More like Pièd a Turd...

[@Jasongilliar]

Why are you dead

[@amaccama3267]

Doesn't look like you'd ever get higher than 4th gear.

[@LudicrousBacon]

4:40 apart from this guy in 6th gear?

[@matrixugamer566]

Hello
