Most impressive crash: Auto Union, that was insane, the lotus 79 was insane too first car not to hit the inside wall: bennetton B1994 first car to get flat out without crash: Mclaren MP4-15 (the 1997 williams almost did it, but crashed at the straight) first car to get flat out with over 300 km/h at the exit: 2009 brawn fastest exit: 2020 mercedes all cars after 2000 had enough downforce and mechanical grip to flat out.

They all can. Eau Rogue is the left hander at the bottom of the hill and Raidillon is the right hander going up the hill. Taking Raidillon flat out is the challenge.

[@KingDadBod666]

Would be better if you took a better line in. Feel like some of them could easily take flat out.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

The "old Eau Rouge" in the title had me thinking this would be the original Eau Rouge, which none of them would take flat-out because it was nearly a hairpin.

[@pedrodevicentelopez3650]

For the next comparison you should use the 60s version or Spa

[@J-STX5469]

I see why EAU Rouge got changed. There was very little room for error and the turn was really sharp at the end. Some of the newer F1 cars from the '80s and '90s either couldn't take it flat out, or lost control when attempting to do so. Now it is wider with more tarmac for racers to recover from going off track, and the turn is a little bit easier to take with more room for error.

Can't believe even until 1990's, F1 cars still lack of downforce.

[@tutuw]

For anyone wondering, in basic terms; none of these 80s or even the mid 90s cars were able to check 300+ km/h with their setups for Spa with those kinds of accelerations, so our buddy here tries to lenghten the video by changing the setups for these cars by giving them a low downforce setup which basically manipulates the nature of the car's handling in a bad way.

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

How I'm gonna lengthen the video by making the cars in it faster? You gotta explain that conspiracy theory to me

[@9999Candido]

[@Starfire_Storm]

People assume the grooved tires sucked ass, but they were about as soft as F1 tires have ever been.

[@BigLouJo_XVI]

Wow…I can’t believe that it actually took 19 tries for some of these vehicles to finally start making it through the Old Eau Rouge, flat out. This one set of turns at Spa must’ve been a real problem child for every 20th century F1 car from each of its respective eras to discipline.

I am a bit puzzled by the physics model (or maybe the setup of the cars?). All those that preceded the first one that made it past it unscathed understeered into the outside of the eau rouge. I'm inclined to think most of them would lose the backend and spin out. But maybe I'm wrong.

[@TC2290-wh5cb]

Just depends on the balance of the car.

[@giosimfra64]

@@TC2290-wh5cb of course it does, but an incredibly understeer biased race car is basically an oxymoron. There are already not too many drivers who would prefer a dull front end to a sharp one, let alone drivers who would want a car that will never turn. I've owned (I still have one) 2 AWD cars which are front weight biased and -as all AWD cars- tend to be understeering and I bet if I drove one up that hill it would not do that so badly.
