[smcnew97]

[GabrielVelocidade]

champ car is the american formula one

[HaloReachTutorials1]

@GabrielVelocidade WAS The american F1

[Spionsilver]

@GabrielVelocidade no it was champ car..these races were actually very exiting..

[mr10am]

[ardoalg]

Yeah ... Bourdais in F1 now, but why this track isn't? What a shame ...

[mrchristian87]

what a sound! i like alot!

[f1fan84]

@mrchristian87 ya thats probably cuz uve nvr had the chance to get ur ears blown off with the beautiful sound of a F1 engine..

[NoxMemory]

This circuit must replace the Melbourne Park for the F1 Australian GP

[mikee19861]

great driver he deserves a new chance in f1, for me all time favorites pilots-hakinnen

schumaher,bourdais,da matta-senna

[Salpeteroxid]

@mikee19861 Mika Häkkinen will always be the best

[mikee19861]

great driver he deserves a new chance in f1 for me one of the best driver ever in champ car my favorites pilots= bourdais,da matta,-hakinnen,shumaher

[gundamg3000]

Surfer's Paradise, Long Beach, and Monaco

The Ultimate Street Course Package!!!

[RR1Joel]

The track is very intimidating, but so good at the same time. One of the best street circuits in the world.

[MasterOfPedro]

Bourdais is also a LMP1 driver with Peugeot..

[Talladega93]

i love that track!

[SizilianoMafiosi]

bourdais is an f1 pilot now is it right?

and timo glock was also a champ car pilot.

[freakadelle95]

bourdais was quit in f1 after to bad results this year.

but yes timo glock was the rookie of the year of the 2005 champcar season

sorry for my english

[SizilianoMafiosi]

mein englisch is ah net viel besser...xD

[freakadelle95]

aso XD

[weallfollowmanutd]

I hate to say it, but even then this series was a joke. Cart ended in my view around 2001. The driver talent got worse and worse. Its like a feeder series for F1. Before 01, the drivers were all F1 talent. Before someone starts shouting 'Bourdais', he was overrated because the drivers around him were completely average. No wonder he walked his championships. Please god, take us back to the early ninetees in terms of Cars and quality of drivers! - Indy racing league is shit!

[minonkracer]

Can't wait to see A1GP on this course.

[roby70juve]

drivers of Indy or Champ car and Nascar are bullshit...

yours champions in others world sries are slower and Dangerous....

Michael Andretti ( grass cutter in F1 ) and the French Bourdais...etc.. etc..

[PhilGermany2007]

I would be very very happy to see Bourdais in a Ferrari instead of Badoer or in a Renault instead of Grosjean.

[Ferno08]

um dos circuitos mais bonitos que existe, é uma pena não ser usado pela indycar series

[aaronkimi86]

This is more of a proper stret circuit cause there are no runoff areas...thats what makes a street curcuit so different.

[ShadowManStudios]

Guys last year when F1 was having an event at Valencia there were no overtakes in the track at all, all position changes were because of dnf's or pit stops.

[dmc1200]

Yeah Valencia is an awful circuit, this is proper street racing.

[Trzcinka77]

Its not about bad circuit F1 cars are just too fast and too much dependent on aero, plus the braking lenght is very short so overtaking there is veeery diffucult look how slow CART goes here plenty of time to pull overtaking manouver

[NateDawg80126]

F1 takes all the street racing out of road courses. Valencia was totally repaved for the race and had absolutely no change in road surface, it was smooth through the whole lap, its more like a permanent circuit than a street race.

One thing champ car did right was found some great tracks. Personally I would rather watch F1 on bumpy road courses than these high tech, super smooth tracks that they run now, Turkey was boring as hell to watch.

[freedomsoldier187]

I like V8SC , cause there is nothing else like it in the world, I like Le mans Series cause there is nothing like it in the world, this meh there is F1 I mean come on !

[justin6378]

maybe their lack off downforce (at the moment) and KERS will help at tracks like monza?

off course stupid tyre choices dont help!

[justin6378]

bah! i hate these street circuits, always way to narrow, no run off and almost always nowhere to overtake.

I especially hate monaco (even though i'm a big F1 fan)

[tnralliart2600]

What do you think of Valencia?

[justin6378]

i actually missed this race last year, but compared to this place and monaco, it seems much wider with a few places that look like good overtaking places (but i know that depends on the use of these corners and whether there is any usefull grip offline).

however i still think the barriers discourage the slightlly riskier overtaking moves (outbrake yourself even by a fairly small margin and there's a very good chance your race could be over)

[tnralliart2600]

The Valencia race was actually quite uneventful to be honest; Massa won from pole and it had far from the most overtaking of the season. Still, I think it's no fault of the track (can't be worse than Monaco) and it has perhaps the most run off area for a street circuit, so we'll see with the new regs this year. Though when it comes to street circuits, IMO the best has to be Adelaide.

[justin6378]

yes, i agree, the new regs have shaken things up a bit (or a lot)

the malaysian gp was the best i've seen in years, lots of overtaking!

btw, go Jenson! (i've been a fan of his for years.)

[tnralliart2600]

Yeah Jenson is a world-class driver and deserves a shot like this. He would make a worthy world champion, so let's hope Brawn keep it together! It's great to see Brawn vs Toyota in the constructors too, cus both teams have been working hard. I hope Toyota win a race soon too. My Ferrari boys need to get their asses off the gutter.

[DoMw94]

The reason why valencia is a better track is because it isn't a proper street circuit. it's half street circuit, half purpose built race track.

[SergioTwin]

Cool cars are the champ car, but the F1 is some special for europeans, no??.

[jasonwaite38]

Yeh what a circuit, shame the IRL didnt think so and left it! big mistake i think

[tnralliart2600]

Yeah and now A1GP is racing there...until A1 goes bankrupt :p

[kentonraceman8]

@jasonwaite38 its a shame IRL took over champ car period.

[PeterMayer]

@kentonraceman8 got dat right

[Jimbo459]

Wow, talk about no room for error

[skids101]

i hope f1 stays in melbourne

[tnralliart2600]

I hope it goes back to Adelaide (it won't though)

[tombe88]

nice track indeed, with f1:n's the race would be about 60-70 laps long.

[skids101]

did you watch the 2008 indy 300 and qualifying was good

[GTRF1V8]

This is an F1 circuit. Overtaking seems next to impossible here, though. I think the Australian GP shouldn't race here. I think it should alternate between Phillip Island and the clipsal 500 circuit.

[Drewbyy]

These aren't F1's and this isn't the australian GP this is the indy 300 at the gold, Indy cars race their (it used to be champ cars like the cars in this vid). The Aus GP is in melbourne which has a lot more overtaking spots. Though i think F1 should race up at the gold coast, the atmosphere would be better than melbourne.

[epyon144]

dude this isnt a f1 track.

[GTRF1V8]

Sorry, my head must not have been with me.

[lewishamiltonjr]

they should bring f1 here

[HockeyTime14]

Very NIIICE circuit!

[Binitec]

Thats what I call a street circuit, the F1 should drive there instead of the boring Valencia street circuit.

[toureyaya24]

@Binitec No, they shouldn't, look at this track man... Yea, it's more challenging but there's no way F1 cars can overtake here

[TheRandomVids101]

@Binitec but no passing, tho then there isnt much at valencia either



[sesselfurzer2000]

@Binitec monaco? ;D

[heverson46]

@sesselfurzer2000 you are lost man...

[sesselfurzer2000]

@heverson46 man I know that this circuit is Surfers Paradise..

[heverson46]

@sesselfurzer2000  aaaaaaaaaaaa . bingo

[sesselfurzer2000]

@heverson46 what I wanted to say in my comment is that Monaco is a good street circuit where F1 is driving.

[f1fan84]

@Binitec hahahahahaha this track only has zig zags..very LAAMMEE...valencia its fast , n it seems hard to drive man

[mrchristian87]

@f1fan84 f1 is boring. ur being hateful because u realized that u liked this video so ur insecure so stop it

[f1fan84]

@mrchristian87 yes ur right ... im being hateful bcuz i like this video......n when i grow up i also wanna be a champcar ...racecar....u c how stupid that sounds??? ya just like ur comment ..im not being hateful man .. im just saying that this racetrack only has zig zags theyre not even chicanes....

[mrchristian87]

@f1fan84 suck my giant cock

[f1fan84]

@mrchristian87 would u like me to milk ur prostate while i do that mother fucker???...ud like that wouldnt u ?? n then we can switch positions n ill fuck ur sweet face with my tiny dick n ill drop my load right in ur pooper n call u names....

[Flarecom]

What a lap an thats music to my ears listing to that v8. Good lap mate.

Lola Racing Cars (also Lola Cars International) is a racing car engineering company founded in 1961 by Eric Broadley and based in Huntingdon, England. Lola started by building small front-engined sports cars, and branched out into Formula Junior cars before diversifying into one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of racing cars in the world.

[superjan101079]

Lovely track! So narrow and fast. simply great, I want to see this course in Formula 1, instead of boring Bahrain or sepang circuits and all that crap.

[racermac1988]

Ausralia's home for MotorSport, Network 10.

Loved there coverage of the V8 Super Cars in years past. Too bad, we here in the states have to wait until winter to get to watch them on SPEED TV.

[sazza111]

are you on drugs? Channel Ten is horrible. Too many Commercial breaks, never showing the F1 live, and even then they don't show it on schedule, several 5 minute ad breaks in the last 20 min of races. They are scum and treat the viewer with contempt.

[racermac1988]

Being in the United States, I do not know exactly how the channel operates. All i've seen is their old coverage of the V8s

[sazza111]

Ha. Fair enough! Yeah, I think the actual programme themselves are pretty good. It's just the network itself which treats the F1 and its audience with contempt.

[mbad7]

Why dont these guys have shift pedalls on the steering wheal like they do in F1!?

[Drewbyy]

I think they do this year.

[DaGrimRpr]

Cause being able to shift on your wheel makes driver drive way easier and that sucks. F-1 should disable shifting on wheel.

[nichlsonstu]

drove down the track a few days before hte race last year with my sister :P except the turns off's werent blocked, the baracades where up though.

[Whahah28]

this track is boring, i seen clicps, all the drivers drive across the chicanes to stop being overtaken

[Blindkiller64]

This treck for f1!!!! I played it in toca race driver and it's good!!

[6V92TA]

i miss the old CART. Still love the sounds of those high end V8s. F-1 cars my be faster and sound more fierce, but one still cant beat the sound of those small block near 12,000RPM V8s.

[maxmacarroni]

HA! I CAN'T BELEIVE in what I'm reading. I mean,this guy at the F-1? Come on...

[alpsalish]

Sucks too! Indy racing sucks! PUNK! Those racers go to NASCAR. Sweet!! Champ Car and hey, you're doing something relevant - like F1. You is ignant.

[Whahah28]

NASCAR sucks, wow, 30 cars crashing into eachother all the time and dgoing round in circles, how exciting

[alpsalish]

Hopefully, you realize that that is what I'm insinuating. NASCAR is not cool. I was making the point that it sucks that Champ car is in trouble.

[ethanjhayward]

amazing track

[g3adidas09]

Very nice.

[etisoppo]

i've driven around this circuit when it's not set up for racing...right in the CBD of the Gold Coast and traffic chaos when it is set up!!!

[jayxer]

Surfer's Paradise.... more like a driver's paradise!!!! Love the sounds from those Cosworth Champ Cars. Can't wait to see the new DP01. Good luck to Power and Pagenaud, on home territory!

[lukeCART1]

good lap by Bourdais

[AyrsenF1]

Yep, he'll do great in Formula 1, he's too much for the champ car series.

[yannos78]

I agree

[alpsalish]

He's got a bit of work to do eh. Well, it is only his first year.

[shockwavekart27]

second or third

[alpsalish]

He's already been sacked.

[shockwavekart27]

huh?

[alpsalish]

If you don't get what is going on look at the convo. Second or third what? Are you sure you replied to the correct message? I thought you were saying in his 2nd or third year, Bourdais would do alright in F1 as that is what the original comment everyone is replying to is about. I mentioned that Bourdais has already been sacked in F1 so his second or third year in F1 is in doubt. Capiche?

[jawangnese]

I have love the Track from the Game : Toca - World Touring Cars from the Play Station 1 =)

[LeMansMan007]

Now tht is a fukin engine noise gd god tht engine sounds gd

[orrmate]

Tell you what, those walls look ALOT closer onboard. Takes balls this track.

[VonVoltage]

God those Cosworth engines sound awesome. Like a sonic kick to the face.

[Longboy83]

the track is far narrower than I though

[goserve]

I had tears in my eyes when I went to the Indy and heard these cars racing for the first time. The power was simply overwhelming. I felt for the drivers who put their lives at risk, in pursuit of such power because, deep in their hearts what they are really longing for is to be a partaker of the power of God's heavenly Kingdom. Only Jesus Christ can give eternal life.

[monkeypoo1]

oooooooook.........

[monkeypoo1]

Oh yeah, your thinking of a different championship mate. This is Champ car, the IRL raes in the Indy 500.

[TukerTuker]

wtf

[O5fan]

Ah, that's called people thinking that anyone not of their own religion really want to be followers of said religion.

[corpser6666]

good upload

[Zwirlyq]

I'm glad there isn't any goofy music, just engine sound. Well done!!!

[Wylei]

Engine = best music imo

[PM05]

These street courses are hardcore! Justin Wilson will be champ next year! muaha!
