Valencia Street Circuit onboard F3

[ro0t9]

nice lap! what happened at 0:23 ? sounds like the shift was messed up for some reason.

[YukiNekoPrincess]

Sentinella della terra Yacamán!

[tohtorigyro]

f3 definetly, it's a dallara f308 btw.

[connell256]

GP2 shifts are paddle, F3 is stick and no need of clutch for both of them. This is F3 look at the shape of it.

[lewiisthebest10]

monte carlo, great place, nice track, but Valencia street circuit is shocking!

[AlatristeSan]

Menuda colada en la primera curva...

[jraybay]

this track sucked. but who is this driver?. and is this gp2 or f3's?

[thatguywiththecodes]

@jraybay Uhh F3? It says so in the title

[feraro00]

how do you shift gears in a formula 3.

with a stick or paddles,

it looks to be with a stick

[FreshTekNL]

Yeh, manual.

[tititata1]

My goodness. What a boring street circuit. I just watched LIVE the Singapore GP and what a fantastic view. Totally different. Totally mesmerizing. Totally dramatic!

[WhoIzzet]

Huh. Rather disappointing GP. Barely any overtaking, no incident. Hopefully more development and new rules in 2009 will make it far more exciting.

[superficus]

The Valencia street circuit seems far too tight for overtaking, although there will be excitement coming from really tight corners and chicanes; the walls will surely play their part!

[JCCyC]

Street circuits... slicks coming back... three (or more) drivers fighting for the title...

Now all that's missing is hair bands.

[Fattaman]

And moustaches.

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

i love the sound of F3 engines :D

[rubenymel]

circuito dificil... veremos

[fabcesc]

check out my new 2008 f1 season review(part 1): watch?v=-bhfCEuQwVI

[chlorophil91]

very nice circuit

[tasteslikemunchies]

looks cool,but what I really cant wait for is the singapore street race

[HollywoodWags]

This track looks extremely boring.

Maybe a car with a lot more speed might have an interesting lap.

Reminded me of the beginner's tracks on a game for Project Gotham.

[kem131]

The track doesnt look boring maybe u need to compare it to watch this again, to me tracks with more speed are jus boring and hard to overtake cus the faster car jus dissappears. but this kinda track certainly provides room for overtaking and every other drama that will happen on race day. wait till then.

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

The track looks awesome look at the great mix of high and slow sections or the double shape curves... We are going to see great action there!

[hr32gtr]

very well done street circuit and looks great too.

but what is it with the lack of signage around the race track, if you ever saw some of the old CART races in america on street circuits you would be amazed to see the amount of advertising around the tracks.

but one of the best street circuits i have seen in a long time

[Jpettet89]

probably because it was only an f3 pratice by the look of things, all the stands were empty so it couldnt have been the main race, wait until the f1 im sure there will be sponsors all over the place

[edgelessmoocow]

00:54, is that wide, or is that the best line?

[Rivelution]

I'm pretty sure thats going too wide. It looks like he went in there with too much speed.

[BeckyRoseI]

the driver consistently missed apexes, apexed late, and was on the throttle at the wrong time. It looks like it was one of his first laps on the track (at least I hope that is his excuse!).

[schopfheim91]

Judging by the helmet, the driver should be Bruno Senna. So I would say he was on his first laps on the track because he could be the next GP2 champion and so he is not the worst driver.

[Schumifanatic]

that will most probably be the best line for any car around there because of the speed you come into the corner and the acceleration you need out of the corner, it happens alot, especially in Formula one.

[F1Podcast]

Fantastic! I LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to see an F1 car go around here. Thanks for posting. - Pep, F1 Podcast.

[Malarkey555]

I don't know.... in my opinion this track is fine for formula 3000 or car races and so on. But a F1 car is much faster, too much faster for this track. However, before criticize any more, i will wait to see this Formula one GP.

[Rivelution]

"The track is too wide"

You people have got to be kidding me. This track looks like it will make a great race and unlike most street circuits, it looks like you can actually PASS on this track. People who say this track is ugly or boring have no idea what a good track is and they probably think the boring tracks designed Hermann Tilke are the best circuits ever. If a track makes good racing, who gives a shit what it looks like.

[taykill]

I agree ;)

I saw the F3 on TV and it was really awesome, this is the best circuit in the world!!

[alecnemcova17]

True.... i'm almost sure it will be more exciting than monaco when it comes to overtaking

[404nt]

This circuit is extremely dangerous. Unlike Monaco it's fast, but like Monaco you hit walls whenever you make a mistake. The pre-1994 Imola circuit was safer than this one.

FIA likes talking about safety and then they send drivers to race in such a track. Ah, the power of money!

[alecnemcova17]

yeah... wouldn't be nice hitting those concrete barriers.... the railings don't look that high either

[nike2die4]

the turn after the bridge!!...that is gonna be nasty if some1 smashes into that

[Edeltraut3]

A typical English homosexual must have designed this track.

[dave00075ie]

so slow,its like watching a 8bit game or something. cant wait till thay race there in formula 1

[bduddy55555]

Slow? Your neck would snap off if you drove that fast.

[lovevtec328]

looks boring.

seriously this isnt a street circuit.

look how wide the track is. its just a normal circuit placed in a city.

[RSVmotorsport]

Si que se frena tarde con el F3!

[gusty04]

bueno, llegamos mas lento y pesamos mucho menos de lo que pesa un GT... asi que no te sorprendas.

[xBaphometHx]

@gusty04 Porque aparte de pesar menos tenéis mucho más apoyo aerodinámico que un GT. No es así?

[ToroQ3000]

Looks like it'll have good racing, but I like Singapore's layout better, idk (plus it's a night race w00t).  Cant wait!

[azzag123]

It is not your normal F1 circuit, but it will certainly be exciting, cant wait for this

[JCCyC]

"It is not your normal F1 circuit, therefore it will certainly be exciting"

Fixed that for you.

[WhoIzzet]

To be honest, I don't give a flying fuck if the circuit's scenerey isn't great. From what I can see, the race will have a big potential for excitement. I imagine there will be a fair amount of overtaking, as well as alot of incident.

But "Oh No, those walls are ugly"... Fuck me.

[PatrickBarrett03]

I wouldn't really call this a street course. It's more like Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. I like the fact that it's wide and twisty. You don't see that with all of the new F1 tracks, until now. The wall and fence combo is smart. Very sturdy structures I'm sure.

[Airborne102st]

ITS NOT HOW THE CIRCUIT LOOKS LIKE, ITS ALL ABOUT THE ACTION THAT WILL TAKE PLACE.

Lousy complaints.

[9178mike7891]

woooooooo amazing!! CURVE 17and the one after the bridge uffffff

speed and overtake points, not as monaco, just great!urban circuit but great spaces and SPEED yeah great video!

[ShiviSchuey]

yeah that run after the bridge, there will be quite a few shoves into the wall there, i reckon there will be quite a bit of overtaking on this circuit....really nice!

[Faldermeup]

If a car hits those concrete walls, its sure going to be nasty!

[fettemieze]

The tracks looks like shit, sorry but that is no streetcircuit at all. As coldtyre said, ugly fences, ugly concrete walls, too wide etc.

Hopefully it's gonna be more interesting to watch with f1 cars, but don't think so...

[jtm1979]

It sounds like you he is driving near chernobyl with radiation meter on :D Nice video and this track looks very interesting :)

[coldtyre]

This track sucks. Ugly concrete walls, ugly fences, too wide, too many curbs inside the corners, too tight. It sucks.

[Blindkiller64]

He made a mistake in the corner after the bridge. Nice circuit, in F1, will be fast and amazing!

[Formula1Zone93]

gotta say I'm very disappointed of Valencia :(

[KaragouniSG13]

this track really sucks. Bring back Osterreichring or Imola, and no more crappy city/port tracks :/

[evofreak1304]

looks like a nice track :)

[Speedworx]

This is going to be ace.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

i cant wait! i love when F1 goes to new tracks.

[thraxed1]

great video mate thanks for uploading it

[fmagnet]

Great video, thanks. Gusty is the youngest F3 european driver ever to win a GP, so I suggest a little respect from some of you smartasses... (plus he has great new speakers ;-)

[gusty04]

wtf.... have u even seen a live race? do u know anything about racing? hahaha... lemmi tell u, just for ur info... if u ask any of the f1 drivers, what is the hardest most dificuld and demanding car you have driven?... they would all answer an F3 car.

what makes an f3 so difficult to drive is its engine... its got only 220 hp, but the speed through the corners is really high due to its great aerodynamics... so just shut it dude... u dont know shit.

[OriginalDaVe]

If you make it to F1, everyone will look at you (including yourself) and laugh. If you actually believe driving an F1 car is easier than an F3 car then you don't deserve to ever drive an F1 car. F1 cars corner, accelerate and brake many times more than your F3 car, and F1 cars have a knife-edge feel on the limit because of the way they are built (as well as the fact they use grooved tyres). Less margin for error in an F1 car.

[OriginalDaVe]

Apart from that, nice video. Lap was fine, and I didn't mind the camera angle.

[eldeguate]

OMG.. this driver is no GOOD? who is this? he sucks big time, cant you see how early he brakes and how slow he goes in the corners.. only a little fat girl drives like that. :P

[gusty04]

campchiken i know its you.... this isnt my fast lap ok... it was the first lap after the start of the sesion with new tires... so they are still cold. plus las referencias de frenada no las termine de coger hasta finales de esta sesion.

[boxerevolution]

we will see...

[jgmlaren]

this track sucks

[MintAs94]

This track rules! Can't wait for the F1 race!

[GeSchmidtt]

I was definitely looking forward to seeing an onboard of this circuit. It will be pretty intense to see it being run at 25% or more faster than this F3000!

[malchetti]

GeSchmidtt: F3, not F3000 ;)

[supraluva209]

Thanks heaps this is just what ive been waiting for :D

[fansportsf1]

thank you for uploading this video

i can't wait until the f1 grand prix of europe

[gusty04]

It would be better if only positive comments where posted... I believe this is the FIRST real on board video of this new circuit.

[AtOneWithNothing7]

I did say your video was nice, even gave it 5 stars. But the camera angle did make it hard to watch. Just saying.

[AtOneWithNothing7]

Nice, though it would be better if the camera was level.
