I might do Spa, but really the other tracks this season don't have enough interesting history to talk about, even in places like Suzuka the corners just have names like "the hairpin" 😂
Looking at the Wikipedia article for Silverstone, I think I've found the reason why Becketts and Chapel have separate names. It seems to be a hangover from the 1948 iteration of the circuit when they were indeed very separate corners with a small straight in between. Becketts has been moved pretty substantially to the west in the intervening years.
I left a like just for the commitment to the maggot moor research. like, how do you even get into the national archive?!? I've now got a wonderful image in my head of you sitting in some massive, old, dusty library in a waistcoat with a smoking pipe, contemplating old english manuscripts. that's totally how it works right? Still, yet another great vid. all the best
Great video mate ! Keep the good vids coming ! If you want to find other connection, the employee Christmas dinner at McLaren is always at Brooklands #itsallconnected
Worth noting that Farm was originally the Farm Straight prior to 2010 when the arena section was paved. The Farm Straight was preceded by Abbey, so they just moved the name to the corner that now followed Abbey.
I thought meggets and bekkets where like mekkets like a Milk bucket ( i dont know whyl and beggets after like maybe a cookie or biscuit in england that very popular but i was wrong :( i loved calling it the cookies corner
u said that there are three other tracks that hosted british gp (aintree, brands hatch, donington) and u said 2 have corners named after zhem… brands hatch getting left out… did i miss smth or what happened to donongton
Actually, nothing "weird "about any of these. More like self-explanatory with a little digging. "Copse" for a grove of nearby trees; "International Straight" for the longest straight on the long circuit used for the GP': "national straight" for the shorter circuit used for non-international events; "Village" is a no-brainer, given that the town the track is named for is a stone's throw distant; "Wellington Straight" for not "a" British bomber, but for THE bomber that was the backbone of RAF Bomber Command when the modern Silverstone was an RAF aerodrome, and so on.
I hope im not the only one that thinks all corner names for every track are stupid and just call them by the number like a normal person. Prime example why theyre stupid take a track like the full length nurburgring. You gonna sit there and remember all 154 corner names? If they all even have a name lol
These corners actually make sense now, would love to see this type of video in different tracks aswell

and how about Zandvoort?
@@MrVsGarage Erhm... "Degner", "Spoon" and 130 R?..
@@Eradicater777 the corner had nothing to do wth his crash
@@MrVsGarageI know I'm quite late and you might of already done it but Monza could be a shout
We need corner names for other tracks, like CoTA or Spain.
AGREED! Every corner needs to be named after some weird event or a person or a nearby patch of trees in my opnion, much better than numbers
You don’t want that. Half of Spain’s corners are lifelessly named after sponsors, pretty sure the last turn is just called coca-cola…
@@THEUNDEADMIDGET Yey, but imagine the esses at CoTA being named after the Andrettis. Mario, Michael, Jeff, John, Marco...

Great video and all, BUT THOSE NAILS ARE GORGEOUS!

they don't let you in if you're not wearing the waistcoat. I found out the hard way... also it's all online 😂

Thank you, I am now ready to watch the race on Sunday and finally understand what the commentators are saying
It’s simple. They’re named after popular British dishes.
I can't believe how many less views and subscribers you have. Your content is amazing.
Mr V; funny and informative! Thanks, man! I won't be lost this week-end!

Its because there's a farm there. It was there before it was an airfield and is still there now.
Like this video for finally finding a video that lists everything at normal speed and not formula one car speed, good presentation, decent humour.
u look like checo and nico rosberg at the same time...

i went to far back in time, Mr V. still has hair here
Great video!
What about priory? Where did that one come from?
Oh yesssss another video😀🏎
I love old version Silverstone 50-90
more of this please
"Why is it called Chapel?" Because of the pre-1991 layout that had three separate corners there.
And also keep making good videos u will grow up to a big youtuber one time
let's go, another vid
u said that there are three other tracks that hosted british gp (aintree, brands hatch, donington) and u said 2 have corners named after zhem… brands hatch getting left out… did i miss smth or what happened to donongton
can u make one for the hockenheim ring
Nurbering (check my spelling)
@ Nürburgring, close tho
@NotMadA47.1 i can actually name pretty many sections on the gp circuit and on the nordschleife, id say nordschleife expert
Nice black nails, very metal!
People not from the UK do not even understand why it is pronounced "silverston" when it is written as "silverstone"...
Welcome to the UK where everything is 1000 years old and nothing makes sense
Do a video like this about le mans

You really think naming a part of the track as "maggots" isn't weird 🙄
Nordschlefie when
Stowe is fair tho
