As a local I can confirm that absolutely no locals ever use the strip for commuting. The exact opposite, we try to avoid it at any and all cost. Shut it down, shut it down forever! And no, locals do not live in the casinos, and no we do not all work in casinos.
Exactly. The strip SUCKS to drive in
That's what I would have thought as well, the strip is a large carpark at the best of times.
Thank you 🙏🏽
As a local my self I rarely drive down the strip
What he said. I had a contract with MGM a few years back (upgraded their TV's) and we went before the strip for everything, there's big driveways hidden from public that casino workers use to get in and out fast, taxis also avoid driving on strip if they can help it.
That’s Camo Hat spot was fire James. Holy shit man. Multi faceted. There’s no end to this man’s talent.
@Jon Thor junk.
Hey Man, They Released This Cap Months Ago And You Still Haven't Seen It?
Edit: Hey Man, They Released This Cap Months Ago And You Still Haven't Seen It? What A Shame
@@desertninja_galactic I’m asleep at the wheel man. What can I say?
that campervan looked like a museum piece
@@StLMikie What Do You Mean?
The strip being shut being bad for commuters was a weird point, no commuter uses the strip on a daily basis and locals generally avoid it.
However if we lose Spa as a result that's just madness, history aside, its one of the best tracks on the planet and is always eventful.
Spa has been extended by 1 year, happy but also said it's guaranteed for only 1 more year (currently)
Will never lose spa or Monaco unless they invade a neighboring country like Russia. Lol
There's no way they're going to get rid of an iconic track like Spa.
Spa is the best!! Love it.
The strip is shut down constantly. They close it for NASCAR events, New Years Eve and other special events. Most locals don't even use the strip and avoid it at all costs. Even those that work at the casinos on the strip use side streets to get to the parking garages and I'm sure they will have shuttles for their employees during this event. I'm super excited to see F1 back in Las Vegas.
And big uptick in ride shares
As a Vegas resident, we’re already used to the strip getting closed down for New Years every year.
They also just did it for the NFL draft. It’s not a big deal…
Yeah no one really commutes on the strip, unless maybe you work on the strip, but even then every parking garage I've seen can still be accessed from off the strip.
I’m curious how anything inside of the circuit will be accessed during the race events
This was my exact thought the strip is for tourism. Except no one in their right mind would plan a Vegas trip directly on the strip during this event. This is a non issue.
@@LauraIsOverstimulated that’s a good question.
Based on how they’ve handled events in the past I’d say the track will not block the streets 100% of the time.
The cars won’t be racing 24/7, a fork lift can easily move some barricades to allow access whenever the cars are not racing
@@dailyrevs1320 F1 started to feel like NFL...
I'm born and raised in Vegas. Live here currently. Everyone I've talked to is super stoked about it. Enthusiast or not. Shutting down the strip and those surrounding areas don't really affect much as far as local commutes. We just went through a strip shutdown for the NFL draft
I also live here, and I work at a casino that's inside the proposed track. I'm curious how 30,000+ employees are going to come in and out of the track daily to come to work.
They also shut down the strip for the rock and roll marathon. NBD
@@BillStrathearn yes, for 12 hours.
@@NYCBostero true- from what ive seen the logistic teams at these events handle crowds pretty good. it was like 400,000 at Austin and despite the crowd, moved around pretty alright

Dude I just realized this video wasn’t released last week wtf! 😂
Me too😂 also a American driver income too I’m shook
@@joeysthilaire8876 there was already an american team why does a driver matter
@@rayxnlol just for the sport’s growth, I personally I’m not American so I’m not biased it was just an observation from his video
Don't worry about them shutting down the strip. It happens quite often for things like New Years Eve and the marathon. There are roads that run parallel to the strip for people to get to work at the casinos. It's really no trouble at all.
I am absolutely loving all of this F1 coverage, Donut! You’re putting in the work to make F1 more popular and well known here in the States!
That's a shame. Have you ever changed your own oil?
Lol I think liberty media have been doing that
Tbh I enjoyed the off road stuff more. F1 to me is just a glorified Nascar but with more politics (as I've learned from Donut)
@@eriklarson9137 Huh? What does that have to do with anything whatsoever? To answer your question, yes I have, but does changing one’s own oil give them some sort of hidden qualification? Help me to understand what you’re getting at.
have you ever rotated your tires
Good to see James living out his country western singer dream even if it’s just an ad.
The best ad might I say
I can see him abandoning all of donut media, and running off into the wilderness to sing songs to himself by a camp fire with his trusty steed by his side haha

Im from France and am really pleased that everyone appreciates the old good circuits (over or as much) as the new city ones.
Now we know that the French GP is over and Belgium GP has 1 year contract extension. Being French I prefer SPA over Paul Ricard because the SPA layout is really something.
Great video overall, as always.
The argument for keeping France was weak. France is the easiest one to cut, among the ones you listed. Monaco and Spa are both cornerstone races. Austria has Red Bull as you said. It comes down to Mexico or France and Mexico has been a better event.
I'd cut Miami if I had to choose. I think it's cheesy and won't stand the test of time.
Paul Ricard ended up being removed after all…
The Miami track is actually pretty good and would be better with some small tweaks. Much better than most street tracks.
@@chiqs2833 yeah Paul Ricard is overall one of the more boring tracks in my opinion. Likely my least favorite in the current calendar when playing the games to race on.
As it's been recently announced, Sochi will be taken out with no apparent replacement for the Russian GP, due to the current situation in Ukraine.
Instead, they're going to be hosting the Las Vegas GP, meaning no current track will be cut out from the calendar. :)
Is it for this year only or until next year?
@@alexhndr most likely next year
@@alexhndr If you mean LV, they're starting from next year until 2025, three year contract....
Oh, well, that makes sense. Replacing it with an American race is a big ole slap in the face to Poutin(sic)
The problem still remains: if we didn't have the Ukraine war, Russia would still be in the calendar and we'll be fighting (ok, not we, but the organizers) to see which track loses F1. And it's going to keep happening. NY mayor already said they want a NY GP, many old circuits like Monaco or Hockenheim were very vocal about the insane costs FIA and Liberty asks them to hold F1 races, and those costs exist solely because oil-backed countries in the Middle East pushed millions down Liberty's throat for 10 year long contracts, so if you want to be in the calendar, you need to pay. In the other hand, Liberty put money out of their pocket to organize Miami and Vegas GP, which bring more American fans yes yes, but I'm not sure they bring the "right" kind of fans.
I want to see Sepang, Hockenheim, Turkey again in F1, but sincerely I understand them, screw Liberty Media.
as a local in Las Vegas, I think it's safe to say that we dont have huge impact mentally on what happens at the strip due to events. cuz we never go on the strip. its such a huge tourist place that we stay away from. so having an F1 race at the strip is a great idea because that's where our economy comes from. and we're also used to the crazy events that happened there.
I'm not a local, but even I know this. There are ways for tourists and employees to get around on the strip without driving and locals don't go to the strip. I think Nolan's take on the casino's stance is also completely opposite of reality. Casinos will welcome the influx of guests and the premiums strip facing rooms will command that weekend. Also, very few casinos' parking is on the strip side so they aren't going to care about the driveways being blocked. Vegas is uniquely suited to host thousands of people in a very condensed space, the airport is very close to the strip, and flights are generally on the less expensive side.
well said
As a local I can confirm, I despise the strip.
I think the issue is with every resident and business that lays inside the track, no just the strip. I have never had the pleasure of going to Las Vegas, nor do I know where the touristy areas start/stop. But I think we can say with almost 100% certainty that there will be an impact on locals due to the road closures, especially given the size of the track. I honestly thought the main issue with this video is the pretense that the Las Vegas GP HAS to replace another GP, there are currently 22 (including the loss of the Russian GP) races I believe, with a cap of 25 races, so they very well could just add another. Liberty Media would also obviously increase the budget cap to accommodate for the additional track I feel
@@chriscringe7506 The only thing in the infield are the casinos from Planet Hollywood to The Plazzo. Your comment made me realize I didn't *really* know where the track was going so I looked it up. From Harmon Ave to Sands Ave and Las Vegas Blvd to Koval Ln. and Las Vegas Blvd. already has walking overpasses. I don't think it is possible to have a less impacted city for a street course. So it is more likely 100% certain that it will not impact locals, except hotel employees, as the local in this thread stated. I stand by my statement that Las Vegas is uniquely suited to host a race (or any event attracting tens of thousands of people). Making an exciting race out of the grid layout streets is a valid argument though. Your point about the video's main focus being the replacement of another race is also very valid; they would obviously increase the budget cap to accommodate an additional race.
im a bit shocked when u said “pole sitter k-mag..” like damn u just predict the future 💀
Honestly I would say that it would be cool to have Miami & Las Vegas every second year…
Same for some other tracks. Just to make the circuit interesting and keep tracks within F1
Agreed, especially if this race is at the expense of Spa.
This is exactly what F1 should do, alternate between Vegas and Miami. It'll never happen, but that's what they should do.
I agree with this take and wish Indycar would adopt this strategy. Go to a venue every other year if you can’t make the schedule work every season.
“Half it’s roads” is a stretch. And us locals don’t often travel on Las Vegas Blvd. It just needs to be seen how it will affect streets that have access to casinos for its employees that need get to the hotels.
In Monaco the principality starts working for the GP months in advance and roads only close during racing hours.
I think it's a stretch, but you gotta remember that it's not just the streets that they're racing on that are gonna be closed. It's also all the streets inside the circuit loop that will be inaccessible.
It’s actually “half the roads around the strip” but since all non locals think the strip is all of Vegas that’s fair 😂
@@Itsmejeffwee exactly
I mean, even then, if they don't shut down dean Martin, frank Sinatra and twain, casino workers should be good.
Imagine KMag will start really from pole position and Noland predicted it.
Yeah right ...
@@bas7905 nope. Yu Takasaki wont allow it.

As a Vegas local and I know pretty much every Vegas local already avoids going to the strip to begin with. Let alone we are already used to it being shut down for new years and other events so road closures isn't a issue for us.
The biggest issue that I can see for F1 is how shitty the roads are in Vegas. Tons of bumps, dips, cracks, pot holes, and uneven roads all over Vegas including the strip and around it. Daily driving my stiff 02 Wrx feeling everything and I'm always avoiding stuff all the time all thru out Vegas lol
Other then that I know myself and other locals are excited for F1 to be in Vegas!
Las Vegas Blvd (the Strip) may be the most known road, but it is not the “main” road. Locals would rather take any other street than LVB. Even locals working at the Strip casinos don’t use it because the employee access points are off of smaller roads behind the properties. Those access roads will have to be used by locals and tourists during the event, so that could be a little added headache. But it’s the hosting casinos looking for the revenue being brought by tourists who are making that decision to limit tourist access to the boulevard.
The strip gets shut down for special events increasingly regularly for things like New Year’s Eve and marathons. This could be the biggest endeavor the city has put on due to the set up/tear down time, but it won’t feel out of the ordinary.
Exactly this thanks fellow Vegas native for clarifying this
Absolutely agreed. Most people dont realize that LV BLVD is really it's own facility for tourist migrations between hotels rather then a street used by anyone local. Like, the world's largest concourse escalator, lol.
I'm not sure why they can't postpone until after a few years and just build a dedicated circuit out at the SPEEDWAY.. that way we can separate motorsports from drunks on the strip
"little" added headache? 1 lane closed on the strip causes chaos on the access roads. obviously you dont live here LOL
@@orunenf5533 there is a circuit course at LVMS over by the old bullring
That Camo hat spot had me feeling like a country boy walking out onto his own ranch 😂🔥
That aside, to see Formula One making a comeback to South Africa would be really cool. Kyalami was saved from demolition a few years ago, and with it having hosted F1 before, coming back would be a good move for both our country and the sport.
Yup. I bet F1 has worse than AEW.
As South Africans we are hopeful
lmao KMag being a pole sitter did come true today xD (Sao Paulo'22)
K-mag on pole? Yes please! Love the guy, I'm really glad he is back in F1
Now he is on pole
This finally happened 😎
The budget cap is based on a 21 race calendar, any extra race would allow more budget. But anyway there seems to be a gentlemen agreement between teams and F1 to not go over 23 races though a maximum 5 is possible.
Bro people forgetting about Russia gp bro f1 won’t race there for a while , the Vegas gp is going to replace it will stay at 22
@@nateellington3678 sochi was already cut a few days ago so its 22 races this season, with the addition of LV its gonna be back to 23 again this year

Imagine
4:41 "pole sitter Kevin Magnussen" ... well this has officially become a fact at the Sao Paolo Grand Prix Quali 2022!
I am a race fan and I live in Las Vegas. I must say I was pretty excited about the idea of a street race here. Early commenters are absolutely right in saying we don't drive on the strip if we can help it. However, you mentioned residents getting to see the race. Oh yeah, I wanted to see that race. I thought that even with the dedicated grandstands and the suites with a view there would still be some sort of general admission for residents, or a spot you could get to and see part of the race. You know, someplace that wouldn't cost as much as my yearly income (retired). So far - no such thing. As a resident, this is for the tourists, and I'll have to watch on TV. So that might actually cause some unhappiness among residents, but we're also pretty used to it. I do wonder where they're going to corral the few thousand homeless who sleep in that area. Probably don't want to know.
I think it will have less impact on the locals than you realize. Most don't use the strip for travel, it's all side roads
And most cities have roadworks that last longer than this will.
Came here to say this. The only locals this would affect are those that work at any of the strip properties nearby. Most of them don't actually have to use LVB to get to and from work either.
Yep. Local officials have pondered having more events or times when the Strip is shut down to traffic because it may be a net positive. Also, the casinos will be the ones deciding where the grandstands go in the first place, they won't have to lower them to accommodate anything, the F1 guys don't know Vegas better than the people running the city.
Indeed. I’m guessing the Donut guys don’t know about Vegas just like they didn’t know about off roading before Hi v Low.
another person that doesnt live here that wont see the impact of longer term road closures on locals and even tourists.
I could see Russia being cut and replaced with Vegas IF it’s successful.
Personally, I’d like to see any future US Race held at a track and not a street course 🤷🏾♂️
with all the shit happening, cutting russia seems plausible
There is undoubtedly a war clause in the contract. Russia will be dropped.
How fresh this video is, the creators should have known that. But yeah, Russia should be gone.
@@brtausi meanwhile racing next to air strikes in Jeddah was totally fine 🤔
if you watch any American road racing you would know america has a newer f1 capable track in texas
Great upload. I am all for more tracks, I think it is best to give it a test and try it out for a year or two then see if it is a good fit over the others. At the end the ones the generate more money and crowds stays.
Vegas GP might be one of the most beautiful night race for F1, can't wait to see!
The Miami GP is not technically a street race, although it’s designed like one. It was a purpose built track around Hard Rock Stadium, which is no where near water (several miles away).
Didn't you see the "water" they put for the yacht club? It's clearly near a body of water.
@@GonFr14 Hahaha That fake water was pretty cheesy. Although I appreciate the effort to tip the hat to the legendary Monaco GP, the fact that they assembled pieces of wood and painted over it to resemble water, I thought wasn’t the best idea. From TV it looked very cool, but when you’re there in person, it’s a different story.
@@gamechangerslive I thought it looked okay in person, unless you walked right up to it. From the grandstands it was fine. A little weird seeing it just end like that with people standing behind it that should be under water... but still, not as bad as I imagined it was going to be when I saw the track layout originally. Miami was a surprisingly fun event, overall.
@@NotReallyMatt Totally agreed. For the future, they will have real water, but with such short time to get the track ready for the 2022 race, they couldn’t get the permits passed in time to implement the water.
hard rock guitar hotel is west of the i95 on stirling road, hella far from any type of water. that thing was fake
I live in Vegas and most people I've talked to are excited for the race. Usually locals don't make their way down to strip unless its for work. When the strip gets shut down for events the city always has backup routes in place and casinos provide shuttles for those employees to be able to make it to and from work. Also the race gives everyone a chance to experience something new and interesting on the strip. Also, some portions of the roads they'll be racing on need to be fixed, so that's an added bonus for locals. I can't wait to get out there and watch these guys fly down las vegas blvd.
u can already see some of those people flying, just not the legal kind
😂😂😂😂😂 I bet you feel differently about it now. Unless you aren't a local
4:43 he fkin called it 🎉
4:42 he predicted the future
As a European I’m totally fine with more us races, but they should be held on real race tracks and not just stupid fake street circuits. They could have gone to a track like Sebring
Edit: I thought of Laguna Seca, but I mixed the names with Sebring
Yeah I’ve been saying the same thing. If F1 is going to put in this much money I’d rather it go to restoring tracks to fia grade 1 tracks to race at like Watkins glen
And please please god don't make it as 'americanified' as the miami race was. Talk about trying too hard
Like Sebring? A track famous for having rough, bumpy and changing surfaces. If they came in and ruined Sebring with a repave to make it compatible with F1 cars people would completely lose their shit.
@@lucaschung9284 even though I love the glen racing F1 there would be completely untenable. The local infrastructure just isn't up to snuff, and it's in the middle of upstate New York - not exactly glamorous or conducive to drawing a big crowd.
It's such a shame that the people who live around Laguna Seca are so difficult to work with - I feel like a race there would draw way more people from the west coast and thus be much more economically viable.
@@88Frank its Americans, i was not surprised lol

How has it been 2 months without a new wheelhouse episode? Miss this show man
They won't bring it back because the company that bought donut only cares about profits unfortunately.
The clickbait copy and paste videos get more views than original series like wheelhouse.
As someone who lives in vegas, I don't know anyone who uses the strip to commute to work. There's little back roads to employee parking if you work on the strip. Only time one finds themself on that street is if you willingly drive on it. The roads around are setup so if you live here you dont need to touch the strip. I'm excited to see this happen, might have to plan a good spot to watch it from.
They were pretty pleasant to drive during quarantine tho
Since the cancellation of the Russian Grand Prix, there is an open spot on the current F1 calendar without having to drop another track. Also, who knows when the next time they may race in China is since they keep moving that race back due to the pandemic so that could be at least a temporary spot to see if Vegas works or not.
Fr I want to bring back the German GP at the ring
I think that North Korea 🇰🇵 should do a race!
Qatar is on calendar next year
They've already cancelled the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi, so Vegas can take that spot on next year's calendar, correct? I also thought there's no way they'd close the strip, but then I realized every room along it would be sold out.
i think that might be the selling point for the casinos, they will be sold out the whole week
Sold out at whatever they feel like charging, as well. It's the one business that's very open about flexible pricing for events
Ok, Russia is cancelled, what happen next year when another Middle East circuit or some cookie cutter street circuit (NY GP for example) is announced? Formula 1 got "lucky" with Russia now but it's not a real long time fix.
But there is Qatar gp in 2023 ,they have long contract ,they just took break in 2022 for fifa World cup,since they are hosting it
@@AlejandroLZuvic bruh don't bitch about it. Money maker circuit are also needed for the sports. At the end of the day F1 is still a business and they have to earn money. F1 can't live with hardcore fans alone, they also need the viewership of casual fans and it's also a good way to get new hardcore fans.
"Pole sitter Kevin Magnussen" aged like wine. 🍷
love the idea of a dirt/heat/desert track but ai would have loved Laguna Seca over the money machine LasVegas . Maybe alternate more tracks each year or have a bonus race at LasVegas or something.
Money and Entertainment influenced last year's race end. I don't want that to be the norm
So nice seeing you guys covering F1. Indeed, there's a compromise when it comes to add circuits, but given that Russia is no longer an option, there's one more date to fill in. About Vegas, I'm sure the influx of fans - and the cash they will bring in - will justify a couple of days with traffic issues.
I came back for the CAMO HAT ad.
Love the history here. I saw the last race on that track at Caesars. 1984 - it was CART by then. Mario Andretti called it a "go-cart track."
Always looking forward to Wheelhouse because I think it's my favorite series in this channel. Nolan is a great host. Bring back Wheelhouse
They won't because the company that bought them only cares about profits unfortunately.
The clickbait copy and paste videos get more views than original series like wheelhouse.
When youtube shows No views on a donut video, you know you are early.
Anyone who thinks Vegas will get this right on their first try has not been around for “New F1 Tracks” in the USA before. Miami is back at drawing board already.
well Cota in Texas is a new f1 track in America
I've only heard issues about turn 14 and 15 nothing more.
Good miami was boring. Just felt like a show track then a race track
We lost Dan Wheldon because Vegas couldn't get a track right the first time.
lol. Vegas is the entertainment capitol of the world. If anyone gets it right the first year, it will be here. It's not 1980 anymore, that race doesn't have anything to do with anything.
Pole Sitter K Mag -- A joke when he said it. A reality now.
Check out Surfers Paradise Street circuit in Australia. Indycars used to race there. The main straight goes down one side of the main road through Surfers. The strip is wider by a fair degree so that is an easily fixed issue.
Great content! There have been plenty of 'tracks' that have been cut even though there were contractual agreements in place. F1 just had to pay the contract off. As far as an inconvenience to locals not being able to drive on the strip; it won't be. All of the service industry has public access roads in place to purposely avoid the congested traffic on the strip. Can't wait for this race! Just wish the date was announced.
I live in Vegas and work at the Bellagio and can't wait for this. it wont affect commune much i think i mean they had the draft on the strip and it was closed. Im just worried about how well the streets are cuz there is some dips and cracks
I’m sure they’ll fix the roads up for the race. At least I hope they would 🤪
@@TellURide447 bro the streets have to be perfect and they are not especially the streets on the other side of the strip
@@josetradechavez7178 i mean they re-do monaco roads pretty often so that might also apply in vegas

THIS. As a former resident and frequent visitor for family in Vegas, the roads are AWFUL. Re-paving? Sure. But heaven help those drivers if there's rain that weekend.
06:00 I love how Nolan calls Monaco a Town haha well he is not wrong
WE NEED MORE F1 VIDEOS!!🙏🏻🤞🏻🔥
as a local in vegas who works on the strip, im not excited at all for the traffic and figuring out how im gonna get to work, but hell im excited to see this race
I think donut media has genuinely made it big on Car media but in CZcams as a whole
Nolan I love the shirt… Chicago native here watching u proud😍
Okay, is there a playlist of all the Donut Media ads you place into your videos. I personally would love that and I'm sure others would as well. Some of them are fantastic.
I've lived in Las Vegas all my life and I drive for a living, bypassing the strip is not a problem but closing some of the streets behind the casinos is going to be a traffic nightmare but also not something we aren't used to due to constant construction and events like New Years. Just glad I don't work at the casinos anymore. Still looking forward to this awesome event!
Maybe they should do like “showcase” races to allow teams to test mid-season and allow F1 to get away with a venue
Logan sergeant be like ( ArE YoU SuRe AbOuT tHaT?)

As a local we get the strip shutdown for 5k runs. We are used to it. There’s many different routes to get around.
"As much as I'd love to have a race that I could literally drive to, I don't want it, if it means losing the tracks that helped me get into the sport - in the first place". Well said and shared by millions of F1 fans around the world. We can't sell the soul of this beautiful sport at any price.
I don't know, this year we already ran on a track that was close to facilities that were bombed. I would say that the point of no return has been passed a while ago.
IMHO
The soul was lost with the V10s. At this point it's whatever
Locals don’t drive the strip; also this is a great idea from a business perspective.
I guess this was before Sargeant was announced as William's new driver.
The Gold Coast in Queensland Australia, had a street circuit that went past a lot of hotels. It was an awesome 3 days. But the global financial crises cut the event. Then it went to Melbourne. Street circuits do work sometimes.
CART had awesome races there
@@iceguy9723 yes the Indy cars were a awesome to watch and hear and the support races and everything else.
Amazing video thank you so much for including metric units!
4:40 'Polesitter' K-Mag... Haha.
Good luck, Haas fans!
The chances
As Vegas born and raised, and a car enthusiast in general, I'm super stoked about this. Yes, the overall road blockages hamper people who work at the casinos, but there's several events throughout the year that force the Strip to be closed down. Several construction projects have been put in place to accommodate the traffic, but it also means huge economic opportunities for the Vegas economy. Knowing November weather, there shouldn't be any heat issues at all for a night race. Most locals drive perpendicular through the Strip to go East or West of the city, but there's other options available. My main concern is how boring of a track it'd be.
Edit: It's Neh•Vah•Dah btw, not Nev•Vaw•Daw. No local says it Nev•Vaw•Daw 💀
the stuff about being near the water and street circuits all applies to the Albert Park Circuit too
love how history repeats itself, the miami track is also a parking lot track lol
ok, that ad for the hat is a tune. Take my money!
Amazing prediction about pole sitter Magnussen, Donut!
That CAMO-HAT commercial was 🤣 thank you for the F-1 coverage even though I don't really follow it too much! Nolan thank you representing Chicago!!!!!!!!
That Long Beach layout you showed appears to be the original F1 layout used from 1975-1977. The current layout used by IndyCar and IMSA is quite a bit different, although still using many of the same streets. The fountain complex roundabout might be the most recognizable corner on the IndyCar calendar outside of the entire IMS oval.
Love donut media but you forgot to include Australia as a street circuit?!?! Albert Park is a public road for the entire year and manages to turn a heavy use public road into a f1 track we at least deserve a mention ther
Good point! It really feels like a purpose built track though imo even though it isn't. It's very well put together.
Would love to see your input on the music city grandprix for INDY Car that runs here in nashville. runs down some main roads. and is next weekend!
Glad i live in Dallas, plan on going to the Austin TX Grand Prix this year
"C. A. M. O. H. A. T." Might be my new fav song, right after the "Pop up, uo and down headlights". This is pure gold 💥💥💥
No love for Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow?
That ad for the hat was just beautiful! There’s truly no end to the talent of James, this is the type of things that make me such a die hard Donut fan! Greetings from Costa Rica, I hope to meet James one day
Linda bro, aqui estamos de fiebres con James y el squad 😎
Vegas local here. The Strip is shut down for multiple events during the year; NYE, Rock and Roll Marathon, NHL VGK Stanley Cup Parade, WNBA parade, NFL Draft. Granted those are typically one day events and not three days like F1 but the city functions with closures. The real issue is the insane ticket prices. As a local I want to be there near The Strip section but in all honestly, my F1 TV pass in the comfort of my home is much more appealing.
Camo hat skit was brilliant. Tune makes me want the hat even more
👏👏👏
Man this reminds me of when F1 came to test driving through the Lincoln Tunnel. It was rad to see the Red Bull cars driving by the cliffs
Wait what?
@@thebigphilbowski yep, back when F1 was trying to have a race across from NYC in NJ.
There's another side to this as well that is rarely talked about and that is the survival of purpose built circuits.
I'm from the UK and it is no secret that Silverstone, our most well known track and the host of the first ever F1 race, struggles financially. I have visited regularly throughout my life time, and even in the heydays of GT1, the crowd was nowhere near the size that it is for the F1 GP. Most other events have a fraction of the amount of spectators that F1 brings and even the next biggest events have significantly less fans in attendance.
Then there's the cost of maintaining and updating an FIA grade 1 circuit.
The revenue F1 generates is vital for these circuits survival and frankly it is lucky that the UK has such a strong motorsports community which brings such variety it is capable of generating consistent events nationwide which just isn't possible in some other countries, and still some circuits don't survive. RIP Rockingham 😞
It's cool to see that in 2023 none of these concerns are a big deal or have been solved. Also no local ever uses the most touristy spots and streets in their day-to-day.
I’m always impressed with donut’s ads, but that camo hat ad was on another level
As a vegas local I’m freaking excited for f1 next year. Let’s do it!!!!!
James was too good and too convincing in that commercial…
4:44 Man, that was a prophecy right there. 😅
That camo hat ad spot was incredible. A+ integration
I just wanna see them go to Laguna Seca, would be amazing to see them there

"Underprepared asphalt made for some unbearable temperatures"
The unbearable temps: 75 F / 24 C
Damn that nevada desert heat
F1 Tracks get much hotter than ambient weather
@@sherlockmaverick what do you think you’re accomplishing with this comment? Everyone knows that the a black road will get hotter than ambient temperature, that doesn’t mean 75F is “unbearable” for F1, they do races all the time in weather like that.
@@lamakicker69 exactly this. The ashpalt of the Circuit de Catalunya reached 40°C (104°F) on the race weekend. The thing we should keep in mind is how far tyres and asphalt have come in those roughly 40 years.
just 24??
@@xrete the race that literally just happened last weekend was 36 C…
what a well proportioned commentary, bravo!
Love the F1 content guys, keep it up!
More F1 Content please! Make it a series every week. 😉
FYI the strip is only used by tourist. Locals use Desert Inn, Paradise and Dean martin
most residents already have racing! there’s a track called the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and actual good racing happens there, NASCAR goes there twice a year and Indycar sometimes goes there (hasn’t for a while tho)
Absolutely love the F1 content on this channel. You guys speak like true fans not like the others who just came into this because of Netflix
Because of netflix?
