The first-ever lap at Buddh International Circuit with Simon Crafar 👀 | 2023

[@l88ch3r]

Once a racer, always a racer. Simon being very critical of his lines. Haha. Thanks for the great lap!🏁

[@noneed-hj9mi]

Simon go back any indian remembered . Jost a joke nathing much than that so please take it as joke.

[@MrCornhole98]

New favorite series to watch on KZbin. Love to hear Simon go through these tracks, makes me feel like I’m right there with him. Thanks Simon!

[@utkarshdewan8736]

Welcome to India MotoGP. Super excited for the race

[@rizkyalif19]

Simon is insane, giving commentary at 270 kmh 🐐

[@Kiky001]

in unfamiliar territory..

[@greyanaroth]

It's so gratifying to see crafar struggling exactly where the rest of us mere mortals do too 😅😅 the first time I was out on this track, the blind corners and elevation changes did my head in. And the parabola, as always, does everyone's heads in all the time. Have a good one everyone! Weather is not the best (November end would have been lovely for you guys) but man this track is wild.

[@alanzirinovsky3469]

Buddh circuit actually has a total straight of 1.250 meters based GPS view if measured from Turn-3 until end of Turn-4. This more longer than COTA circuit real straight 1.170 meters And based Brembo simulation data, Braking distance there about 300 meters before Turn-4, So has acceleration space around 950 meters from Turn-3 to Turn-4. Many experts predicting top speed 10 km/h higher than COTA record

[@Dinara1up]

We are looking at 355 to 360 with ease. Maybe higher into the 360's with the perfect slipstream and wind direction. Let's see what these 300+ horsepower beasts can do.

[@alanzirinovsky3469]

@@Dinara1up Yes, the closest comparison is COTA circuit were two curves are similar characters and has straight more 80 meters more longer, it should be faster. Btw now COTA speed record is 356.4 km/h by Maverick Vinales

[@dimasihza217]

It would be easy 370 with fresh soft tyre, slipstream, and ducati engine...

[@alanzirinovsky3469]

At COTA where the track is slightly curved and uphill at the start, still can reach +350 km/h Meanwhile Buddh straight track is really straight and downhill at the middle, adding to the kinetic effect to be more faster

From the way he talking and feel the track n comparing with other section from other circuit i think this one will be a new good schedule in motogp calendar. I dont know if the rider also feel the same maybe this one also can be a new pra season test circuit. I also see the picture and yeah i like the layout of this circuit. I can see long straight section(double) tight chicane n corner short stop n go section also long wide corner.

If MotoGP was smart, they will share the race broadcast for free across India this year to stir up interest. I bet it would be one of the biggest non-Indian sporting events of the year.

that long straight, I can't imagine how fast the riders will be especially the Ducati's lads, I mean, Simon use a BMW superbike it top around 270 km/h, so probably there'll be a new top speed record from this track

[@armwrestlingpro]

Why do you blip the throttle on downshifts? Or on any shifts? Or anywhere? I’m just a regional racer on a ‘16 s1000rr. Help me understand the advantage to blipping the throttle....thanks PS, I enjoy every lap you do, thatns for doing them!!!

[@arjunakozmin4927]

Its an old school rider habbit because there were no auto-blippers to match the revs on downshifts so he does it in order to get more engine breaking to help the bike to stop just a bit.

[@malcolmwhite6588]

@@arjunakozmin4927 No it’s generally not to get more engine braking it’s to try and match the revs on the downshift to prevent rear wheel lock up

I never expect to see an F1 circuit back in action for another motor racing category. Last year, it was the other way around for Losail Circuit.

[@eyeon9331]

I see you revving gearing down, doesn’t the bike do that automatically, I thought that was like a rev match function/feature?

[@scottyspeedoo5885]

The M1000 definitely has an autoblip. After decades of manually blipping its probably impossible for Simon to stop.
