Today in Homicidal Racing....Brabham nearly killed on first lap, Rindt wipes out numerous spectators in a futile attempt to hold off Axelsson! Check out the footage at the end... Sir Jack got too greedy with the curbs, and could have taken out more than Bonnier...
Pau is probably one of those street circuits where precision and consistency pays a lot. It is not a circuit with many fast sections, let alone *any* real fast sections, so it could effectively negate any power, acceleration, or top speed advantage.
For me this is one of the hardest sims i ever played. You need to be very gentle with trottle and brakes. Its like driving on ice.. and when you are going full gas... oh boy the mix between too much stuff on the sides of the track... the imperfections on the tarmac... the jumps.. the turns its crazy fun and scary to imagine actually doing it in real life. I love the graphics.. the details are amazing... just so much going on... the tracks are so much fun.. very complex and diverse.
What a mad start! weel done well deserved Win, driving an underpowered car. Brave overtake over Areens and Rindt´s car undoubtedly damaged when he ran wide. This historic track is honestly detailed and among the best in the game. Incredible the way these drivers used to drive everywhere, and any cars!
This is the closest one ever gets to a Basque Grand Prix with Pau. Bayonne and many areas of the French Basque country were not even two hours away. Donostia about two hours away across the Spanish border and Bilbao about another hour further.
Nice race on a historic city circuit that still exists but I fear not for much longer. Local environmentalists are doing all they can to make the Grand Prix de Pau and the historic Grand Prix de Pau disappear. For the moment the mayor of Pau and the local automobile club are holding out, but until when? Your series on « Les trophées de France » in 1966 is therefore a great testimony to a beautiful history of French motorsport.
I mean, we have lost too many historically significant tracks all over the world. The old Hockenheim, the old Aeroautodromo di Modena, Riverside, were probably the most well-known of those. I certainly don't want Pau, which is just as important (if not more important), to follow them...
@@jcgabriel1569 The main problem with Pau is first of all to be a circuit in the city. French cities like many ones in the world are increasingly subject to restrictions on the circulation of gasoline or diesel cars to reduce the associated pollution. In fact, the organization of races is becoming more and more difficult, especially in small towns like Pau and Angoulème (Le circuit des remparts) which have not the notoriety of Monaco, where the GP is an institution.
@@michelpelletier4873 Indeed, but it still is very sad for me. It almost feels like racing and its enthusiasts were being kicked in the curb. Because as far as I have read, this is not only restricted to city street tracks, it also is becoming a problem with other purpose built tracks. What with housing developments encroaching nearer to them in a few cases, and then the residents would complain "about all the noise" or some such thing... as though they hadn't known that they were living near a race circuit...
@@jcgabriel1569 you are right. this is exactly the case with the Albi circuit which you will certainly take in your series of races which is located a few kilometers from the city center and which, when it was inaugurated in the 1960s, was in the countryside. Now he is surrounded by houses which have since been built. The first owners were aware of the noise pollution caused by the circuit but they accepted it, which is no longer the case for newcomers who would like to drastically reduce the number of opening days of the circuit being supported in their approach by local ecologists. Here too, the mayor is trying to find the best compromise to satisfy both parties. The very beautiful Clermont Ferrant circuit is in an even worse situation, because after having to reduce its length, it is also subject to threats of closure by people who have built close to the circuit with full knowledge of the facts.
Hey, I finally get first. Love your videos man, I'm heading to work here in a couple hours so having some coffee and getting woken up. This was a great thing to wake up to. Appreciate you and your content.
As I watch the videos of these more obscure user-made tracks (this one otherwise looks gorgeous note), I notice a lot of them have serious errors in the AI lines. Here you managed to pass several cars coming out of the final chicane because there is a mistake in the left-hand line on the exit where they all typically lift for a moment when you are side-by-side, because someone didn't make the line flush with the curb there. But a lot of times they simply aren't taking optimal lines through the corners, such as the first tight 1st-gear righthander after the S/F. [I used to edit NR2003 AI lines years ago, which work pretty much the same as the GPL ones do] But all of the accidents may mean that the L/R lines, which are meant to limit where they can go, are TOO wide in some other sections, c.f. that one car running into the crowd, saved only because the objects there weren't solid. The opening wreck is a QED moment: you can see the one car go too far to the right, hit a solid object, then ricochet back across the track.
Another great video Jake. Would you be able to share your GPL and Fanatec settings, struggling to get something I like the feel of with my wheel and GPL at the moment. Cheers
Although Pau is a longer race, it's a bit misleading. After all, Oulton Park is 2.761 miles, and Goodwood is 2.4 miles, while Pau is only 1.721 miles to the lap. So, of course, Pau is going to have to be significantly more laps just to be the same distance. Monaco is actually faster. In 1937, the fastest lap of the event was 66 mph and change. At that time, Pau would be about 56 mph average; the '37 race was only for Sports Cars though, so we don't have a full-on GP from that year to compare directly. Probably mid '30s to mid '60 is when Pau was at its height. Now, in 1933, '35, and '38-39, though it didn't pay points, it was a major GP. After the works Alfa Romeos were ordered out of the 1936 race, it became more of a local affair, but Philippe Etancelin did manage to notch up a win for the Maserati V8 RI in that one. Also, in 1936 and '38-39, the Pau GP was 100 laps, not just 80 times around. I wonder if they took a cue from Monaco, which was also 100 laps in the old days. As a spectator, I think you plant yourself on the inside of that long right-hander as the course goes through the park. That way, you're pretty safe, as just about any incident will end up with the cars sliding out and off on the other side of the road. Yes, it would help to adjut the placement of the pit board. On a slight side note, I wouldn't mind if someone did a mod for the 2004 Circuit Proposal. Basically, it would have extended the track by having it turn left just before the chicane, go down to a fairly tight right, and then return up before rejoining a little before the final right-hander. This would have extended the lap to 2.01 miles.
Daytona 24hrs and the Pau Grand Prix...not bad on Richie's resumé - looking forward to the Grands Prix proper - intrigued to see what Axelsson may be driving......
Pau is a crowd favourite Teletubby - Scarlet livery - But you can't beat a Dipsy Brabham in these kind of colourful races. Odd it was always "good form" to type PO into chat when you left the pits to help drivers on track speeding into the finish. - I am sure I used to type Dipsy or La La for laugh
Hey could u review the roskilde ring? It’s a race track from 1955 that ended 1968, both Stirling moss and jack brabham raced on it in the late 60’s, it closed due to noise complaince and f1 cars was raced on it
Hey man great vid I've been following you since your first 1967 F1 season. Can I ask how do you install mods and tracks on GPL? I've been trying but it's really difficult.
Rindt retired near the end of the race must have been some kind of accident. I think it was probably just suspension damage from when he hit that curb.. then all of those spectators.
I tried to race AI here in gpl 1967 f2 mod, but they are way too fast doing lap times of 1:15. I see you used version without pylons in the last chicane. Maybe that helps to improve lap times?
So, let me get this straight - were F2 cars from the 60's essentially F1 chassis with tuned four-cylinder engines? And crowd control at Pau back in the day must have been hilarious - "Armco? Nah mate, don't need it, just a few bay hales, put some Total banners on them - oh, and how fast are you at running?"
Could they do modern F1 here aka Monaco. By the way did I hear 'Alpine car' mentioned. If so wonder if this name was inspiration to the Alpine Renault F1 car of today?
I’m American and a lot of time when I have free time at school, I catalogue races for my own sim career and my Brazilian friend always has a laugh whenever I type that in. And my other friend from here learned that pão and pau are very different haha

Still more enjoyable than Monaco in my regard.
@@jamesbehra2690 Agreed. I find Monaco claustrophobic. Adding the never-to-be-sufficiently-damned bus stops (cf. Monacane) makes it ten times worse.

Great racing bud. The AI don't seem to like this track much.
Awesome drive mate, beautifully consistent. This game is so damn hard and yet you make it look so easy. Kudos.

Will our man Richie Axelson be at the Targa Florio lmao
I really enjoy watching your races. You are really good with Your comments, and You really seem to work hard in the races. Arigato Sensei!
so much drifting, super fun to watch
Great race!! Love Pau it's very challenging I have to race here with the 1955 mod

I absolutely love this track!
I was hooked watching this race bud, great track..and you held your nerves once you got into 1st place... not easy I know... keep it up..
Next lap Rindt just yeets a body part back into the crowd "I do say good sir, i do believe this leg to be yours"
You held your nerve, and with skill and panache you got your just reward, fantastic result 👍 an absolute joy to watch 🏁🍾

srmz.net go there 👍
it's pretty much copy and paste or run the installer, the important part is activate the mod or track on GEM+2
very entertaining
24:22 I thought I would have seen people flying around and the car going out of track 😥
Rindt retired near the end of the race must have been some kind of accident. I think it was probably just suspension damage from when he hit that curb.. then all of those spectators.

Axelson dominates. Now's there's a phrase you don't hear every day!
Anyone else expecting someone catching Ritchie up like Hulme did in the '67 live season.
So, let me get this straight - were F2 cars from the 60's essentially F1 chassis with tuned four-cylinder engines?
And crowd control at Pau back in the day must have been hilarious - "Armco? Nah mate, don't need it, just a few bay hales, put some Total banners on them - oh, and how fast are you at running?"

So what ever became of Ritchie?
Brazillians be like: huehue
eu sabia pqp
"Pau Grand..."
huehuehuebrbr
Prêmio do Pau Grande

Fun fact: 'Pau Grand' almost sounds like 'big dick' in portuguese.
