- Many enthusiasts of rail transport modelling and scale model cars have been waiting for it for a long time: On April 25, 2024, the new section of Monaco was opened at the Miniatur Wunderland, the world’s largest model railway exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. The new miniature world on an area of 70 square meters was officially opened in the presence of Prince Albert II, Princess Charlène and their twins Prince Jaques and Princess Gabriella. Apart from the landscape, the marina and the beautiful houses of Monaco-Ville, the Formula One F1 race track in 1/87 scale is an absolute speciality and a real world first!
Formula One, commonly known as “Formula 1” or “F1”, is the highest class of international racing sanctioned by the “Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile” (FIA). The FIA Formula One World Championship has been one of the world’s premier forms of racing since its inaugural running in 1950. The Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula One motor racing event held annually on the Circuit de Monaco. It is widely considered to be one of the most important and prestigious automobile races in the world. The race is held on a narrow course laid out in the streets of Monaco, with many elevation changes and tight corners as well as the tunnel, making it one of the most demanding circuits in Formula One. In spite of the relatively low average speeds, the Monaco circuit is a dangerous place to race due to how narrow the track is, and the race often involves the intervention of a safety car.
Therefore, it was a particular challenge to build a model layout of this world-famous car race. In contrast to conventional scale model cars on model railroad layouts, the racing cars are controlled by an innovative drive system based on magnetic induction. This technology makes it possible for the miniature vehicles to drive truly autonomously and to influence each other. This means that every miniature car race has very different sequences and is truly unique.
The technical development of the car race took a total of eleven years! The main elements of this technology are so-called Halbach arrays. The racing track is 22 metres long and contains 24 track panels, 90 control panels and 90 positioning panels. Electronically generated magnetic fields on that panels let the race cars move in fractions of a millisecond. Furthermore, over 100,000 lines of programming code were required to develop the software. There are more than 39,000 meters of cable, about 5,700 hall sensors and at least 2,800 temperature sensors underneath the system.
In addition, a camera system was installed to film the race of the miniature vehicles directly from the race track. Similar to real television broadcasts, small micro-sized cameras are used to transmit a video stream to large screens installed in the model railway exhibition hall. These micro-sized cameras - adapted from Raspberry Pi Camera Modules - have been invisibly installed along the race track (e.g. behind the windows of houses or in ambulances parked along the track).
The team of Miniatur Wunderland saved the video data from each micro-sized camera and made it available to Pilentum Television for this video. Because the Raspberry Pi Camera Modules do not use autofocus, some video images are blurred. The cameras will therefore need to be correctly adjusted in future to improve the image quality. But note, this video footage are - as written in the video title - recordings of the first official race.

This is the first time in my life I've seen a scaled model version of an F1 race. Wow. The stage. The speed and movement of the cars and the audio. "It's done so incredibly well" is an understatement.
Very realistic, with the same level of overtaking as the real thing!😉
this took over 10 years of development and never giving up, a masterpiece unique in the whole world.
@@chrisstephens6673 Watch the official Miniatur Wunderland CZcams Channel: The whole track is a large circuit board with magnets on it that can be triggered to move the cars forward bit by bit. Difficult here is that the track is not even. So how to bend the boards in height without getting any gaps?
In terms of the software: Each car has it's own "AI", with a specific programmable driver skill (yes, they do mistakes, that other cars try to exploit), watch at 2:25 the overtaking. So no race will be identical. Are you impressed now? ;-)
Congratulations to the Miniaturwunderland team and especially to those who took care of the Monaco implementation. Thank you for your perseverance, despite the many setbacks that occurred when implementing the race. You have once again outdone yourself. The car racing looks absolutely realistic. What's next? Walter Röhrl in the Urquattro at Pikes Peak? We can be excited...
Pikes Peak is a grand idea. 👍
The Dunder Mifflin ad got a good chuckle when I noticed it lol. This racing section of the layout is pretty cool!
Wayne Enterprises
Amazing how far they have come with model railroading since the 40's.
😮 I….just…can‘t….find…words!!! Sooo cool!
Wow wow wonderful sharing ❤
Simply unbelievable!
This is nothing less than STAGGERING!!
The funny thing is, this is probably the most wheel-to-wheel action you will ever see at Monaco.
Oh my god! After seeing so many trains and trains, this is so refreshing! And incredible too!
This is the kind of feature Pete Waterman was talking about adding to the Making Tracks layout. I can see why he was impressed by it.
Miniatur Wunderland have outdone themselves yet again with this masterpiece. Very very clever. Bravo 👏🏻
Uimitor ,fără cuvinte ,extraordinar👍💪🤩😎
Watching out how this technology started out in it’s infancy, it’s so crazy to see it just work!
Amazing, incredible, stunning and every other superlative that there is. Incredible modelling skills to pull this off. Well done.
Absolutely amazing...🏁🏎
素晴らしい！ドイツ・ハンブルクにある施設なのにあえてニュルではなくモナコに挑戦したのもすごいですね。
スケールスピードや加減速がかなりリアルですし、オーバーテイクまであるとは！！空港の離発着までリアルに再現するだけあってさすがです。
This is truly a remarkable achievment and simply amazing to watch!
They need 11 Years developing this system. I love the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow that's cool, I like that, I'll be doing a stop motion of Monaco soon!
That was brilliant! Top scale race I’ve ever seen. Cheers!
Absolutely incredible!
Next level - wow!
Genial gemacht, wie das ganze Wunderland. Gruß nach Hamburg.
So this is unique! Perfect, precise work!👍👏
Erm probably the best diarama I have ever seen. The race was good to 😂😂 absolutely brilliant
WOW!!! Absolutely amazing
Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo ! Je suis très impressionné par le réalisme du déplacement des voitures !!! Bravo à toute l'équipe du Miniaturwunderland ! 🙂
That was incredible. Thank you for sharing it.
Now you just have a couple dozen more tracks to do. I'll be waiting patiently; it shouldn't take too long.
wonderful❤😊
Absolutely amazing...
This is amazing. Very exciting race, excellent detail around the track and great camera placement. Thanks for uploading this. Loved the engine sounds also.
I followed this build with great interest. The technology behind it is truly clever, the attention to detail jaw dropping. You can't make it out on the video, but the big (tiny!) screens around the circuit display the place positions of the cars in real time.
Unglaubliche Fantastische Arbeit.
Absolut!
Wow! Simply amazing!
Full stop awesome 😮
Mit diesem Projekt habt ihr euch alle selbst übertroffen👍👍👍👍
Einfach nur geil!😊
Wow, amazing addon to "Mfiniatur Wonderland". How they have depicted the Monaco F1 race along with the rest of the largest model Railway in Germany. They make this F1 race look so real. This model F1 race is comparable to what I do with my F1 SIM racing game on my computer when I do Monaco.
Thanks for this great video. Take care.
Thanks for watching - and what about visiting the Miniatur Wunderland in person?
@@pilentum I would like to some day. I know this place would be great to see in person. Take Care.
Merci du partage! Stéph.
Amazing all you need now are a set of classic F1 cars for the Monaco Historic event.
Bloody Amazing 🤩 so good and I don’t usually watch F1 I’m a v8 supercar fan
Magnifique,impressionnant de réalisme, bravo.
2:52 The Wayne Enterprises advertising is fantastic!
A lot of time, money and effort. This is awesome.
Absolument magnifique !!! 😍
never seen anything like this very impressive
Wow this is amazing!
Super nice!
This is awesome!
Nice !
Very impressive!
Incredible
速度帯に応じて車列が伸びる、ラインも各車異なる、追い抜きもしやがる・・・再現への執念がすごい
コメントありがとう！日本にたくさんのご挨拶を！
Thanks! Now let’s see how the Miami race turns out!
WHY? YOU haven't even built the scenery and the buildings yet.
Very nice, would like to see similar technology for self driving cars on a layout 👍
Wish we get one those at home
Sensacional.....muito bem feito
c'est incroyable
Wow!!!
O que mais gostei foi o berro ensurdecedor dos motores V12 dos bons tempos da F1.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing 🤩 First time I’ve seen anything quite like this. Quite a change for your channel. Nicely filmed. Is the sound from the actual cars?
Yes, from the 2023 GP.
The engine sounds are from a computer game and have been dubbed in this video.
@@pilentum Ah I see. Thanks.
FABULOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟
Ich komme aus kiel und war jetzt vier mal im Wunderland und jedes Mal war ich von den Neuerrungen begeistert. Aber die (endlich) funktionierende F1 Rennbahn ist unglaublich gut. Ich bin absolut begeistert.
Ja, das ist schon absolut genial, was die Mädels und Jungs im Miniatur Wunderland erschaffen.
대단하군!!!
Der Hammer
Holy smallville batman!!
Impressive! Very realistic apart from the fact that there were no crashes though 😅.
This is way cool 😎
It would be tough, but maybe the 24 hour race track in France 😊
素晴らしい
Wish I had the money to have this
wow, the driving looks very realistic! Especially braking before a bend and then accelerating again. It's not just a row of cars all driving the same speed. Btw. a Capsule Corp logo? lol
WOW!! I can even say it backwards!! WOW!!
That is absolutely amazing! Who won?
Genius
Am 16. Mai werden meine Frau und ich vor dieser Anlage stehen! Wir können es kaum erwarten! Die Spannung steigt!❤😂🎉
...und wie war es gestern?
@@pilentum es war toll, wie immer! Und voll, wie immer! Das erste Mal mit meiner Frau, nach ungefähr zehn Jahren! Wir waren gut, 5 Stunden dort, und sie hat mir so viel, wie sie konnte beschrieben, bis sie Fransen am Mund hatte! LOL! Auch das Essen hat uns Geschmack geschmeckt. Aber wir waren doch ziemlich fertig, als wir wieder zu Hause waren. Natürlich auch durch die Hitze. Danke der Nachfrage, Grüße aus Ahrensburg Ben👍🏻
👏
Fantastisch gemaak ! 💫 En ik ben niet eens een F1 fan… 🤗😂
IN-CREDI-BLE... !!! ;-))
...but where are the railways?? :D (Absolute crazy work by the way)
The Monaco section has a subterranean rail system that is viewable from besides the layout, there aren’t any surface level trains as far as I can tell.
How did they simulate an over take? 2:27
Super model! Mersi Pilentum!🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿
How did they create the variations in the paths of the cars? They do not follow an exact line!
Every car has its own "mind" and stats and has its own process to make decisions in real time. All cars are "swimming" on magnetic fields and can use the whole width of the street.
C'est formidablement bien fait !!! Mais on aimerait une explication: comment ont-ils réalisé ça ???
Très simplement expliqué: Sous la piste il y a des modules électroniques qui génèrent un champ magnétique. En dessous des voitures se trouve un aimant qui réagit au champ magnétique.
It took them 11 years to make this dream come true
Yes.
...and 6 000 000 €...😮
@@rudolfomagico4748 Worth every cent!
Wahnsinn !!!!!!
My mind can't give it credibility without hearing the constant stroke-sounding "uh, eh, uhh, uh, eh, ah, um, uh, uhh, emm, uhh, uh, ah, uh, ah, em, um" overload of the two main F1 television announcers.
No overtakes in Monaco is 100% accurate
mira bien, hay adelantamientos
There are overtakes.
Now do Mount Panorama, Bathurst 😂
Wenn die Motoren nur in echt so klingen würden wie im Video 💭
Ja, es wurde ein bisschen mit der Nachvertonung nachgeholfen :-)
Tip Top auf jeden Fall
I need surgery to get my jaw back in place …
How?
Is this stop motion or something?
Description worth looking at and also the links.
No.. its way more complicated
How the hell do they do that????
Magnetically
Ban all sociopathic, full-size Formula One racing, but keep this for the nostalgia.
A technical masterpiece, respect! Above all, you have to remember that this model racetrack has to function for many hours every day. Respect! In addition to the technical achievement, I unfortunately have to let go of some sarcasm. I'm missing an accident with a dead driver and a few victims on the side of the road, the subsequent hero's celebration with the widow and children. That would complete the F1 representation.
Does a 1:148 scale Lewis Hamilton have 148 times less dress sense than the 1:1 version?
It's amazing, but every year they move more and more away from model railroading as the focus.
Yes, that's my concern too: I see fewer and fewer trains in Miniatur Wunderland.
did max verstappen win the race
Better than the real life. But sadly Verstappen won again 😢
Needs Senna out in front...
