    Hot take: Bahrain needs to go back to this layout for all of their grands Prix. The standard layout is still a Tilkedrome at the end of the day, even if it’s a good one. This is such a cool configuration and we need more variety. This one especially reminds me of an old timey high speed street circuit.

    You have to use the new iRacing car, the Dallara IR-01. The track? Bristol Motor Speedway.
    The race has to be 30 minutes long.
    The catch is that after 2 laps of normal racing, the car that's in last place will have to stop racing, and try take out the other drivers until there's 1 driver left. When that happens, the 2 drivers will race for 2 laps (green white checkered) for the win.
    The title's up to you.

    I guess the Bahrain Perimeter Circuit will race somewhat like F1's Indianapolis Grand Prix circuit, just with less corners. It certainly won't be a Monza, in spite of the straights. Besides Mugello, Portimao and Kurtkoy (did it really need that slippery new surface?), it will be the most interesting circuit on this year's calendar - just for not having been on the calendar before. I guess it will work well and these drivers will learn how to run in traffic for most of the race.

    @ravenkerman8073 4 роки тому +2

    I don't know how to feel about this one. The outer layout still has an outside chance that the all-time fastest lap in F1 history gets broken here. Instead of Monza having that record, this track (layout) in the Middle East would have the honours. And its not like F1 would use the layout ever again for the record to be beaten (hell the cars are getting slower). I have nothing against Bahrain, the Grand Prix layout is great, but I feel like the Temple of Speed should have the honours of hosting that record.

    • @SouthPawRacer
      @SouthPawRacer  4 роки тому +4

      The average speed of the Monza record is 264.362 km/h - I don't think that's in much danger of being beaten here!
      As I said in the video, a sub-55 second lap here works out to ~235-240 km/h average speed

    Q1 and Q2 will be nightmares, but at least they won't fight for slipstream, because they will always be within another car. But those three straights really scream slipstream. I gues this will be the race with the most overtakes, because there's always slipstreaming. Overtake and then reovertake and then overtake.

    F1 needs short, simple layouts like this to become more of a thing. Spa's 7km is justified by being a genuinely great layout, but a lot of circuits feel like they're just doing pointless twiddling to get up to 5km-ish. Stop trying to have every type of corner you can imagine -- give tracks character and make 4-4.5km the standard, with more ~60sec laps on the calender.
