I guess there won't be a "What the Drivers drove to the track" video this week since so many live there and can just ride a bike from their apartments.
He said it in the last video🍻
Many can even walk probably..
Next week's video: What shoes did the drivers wear to the track?
«What the drivers biked to the track» perhaps
And, what is also world famous: The oceanographic museum ( The first worldwide) sitting right on top of the cliff besides the Palace. Was founded by the First Principal in the 1900, who even was one of the co founders of oceanographic science at all.Spectacular!!!
Visited that one quite a few years ago and loved it.
I had the opportunity to visit Monaco while I was studying abroad in Lyon, France in 2012. Such a beautiful place, this video really brought me back to those days. Excellent video once again Kym! 👏👏
ok. good flexing
Any chance you can show us a before and after editing of cars exiting the tunnel? I know you being so good at getting it right in the camera, mere mortals would love to see what it looks like right from raw…….
Can do that, yes in an upcoming video
@@KymIllmanThe tunnel is really just the road below the Fairmont Hotel. Other tunnels were dug to put the train station inside the mountain too.
Went to the 1976 Monaco GP and watched it from the hillside below the palace. The year Lauda had his horrible accident and Hunt won the world championship. We stayed in Nice, rented motor bikes to travel between the two places and took the train there on race day. Still have the print race program
how cool!!!
These behind the scenes insights at different tracks are brilliant Kym. 👌
Flying out tomorrow for the F1 weekend! Can't wait 😊
Enjoy!
Loving these videos!! Especially because you’ve posted it before the race- makes me excited for the action. Love how you mix in photography info, with food, track, accommodation, driver…. You pack in so many interesting facts and footage. And like the background music too. Awesome 👏🏻
Love this, real life behind the scenes, staying very passionate !
That’s the spirit
Another great video appreciating all the great views and your hard work.
I dont get the people that want Monaco out of the calendar because its boring for the race…
Who cares it is such an unbelievable and legendary race and it just is F1. If you think about Monaco one of the first things that comes to your mind is F1 and thats not only for F1 fans.
Propably new fans for me f1 is monaco, silverstone and francorchamps. Never without them
Not related to F1 but an interesting tidbit if you’re interested. There is a white Renault Truck at 8:42. Interestingly it was designed by non other than Marcella Gandini, the designer behind the Lamborghini Countach and Miura.
Great vids Kym. Love the unique content
Thanks for the tour, Kym...Loved it!👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for bringing us along!!
Exceptional B.T.S. content of Monaco 🏎️ Kym! Thank you! 🙏🏽
Looking forward to the race tomorrow & your very informative follow ups! Cheers! 🙌🏽👌🏽🎉
Another Terrific Video , Kym !!....I'll get up early on 26 May and watch the Monaco G.P. on TV .....Thank you for taking US to Monaco !
Hi! Kym. Monaco is a dream destination for many tourists and F1 fans. An expensive place indeed. Hope to watch a F1 race and visit this beautiful country one day. Cheers!🥂 Thank You for sharing this lovely video 👍🏻👍🏻
Love Monaco, been watching for 30 odd years and it's still one of my favourite races of the year.
You deserve more subscribers, great insight into F1!
Thanks Kym. I love the behind the scenes look.
Great vid. If you ever have the time, I would love a video on how you decide what your track side locations for shooting will be. You could do it track by track. Have fun this weekend.
Waaao so informative& comprehensive that tour was..you don’t get that much close to monaco even on pay tv. Many thanks here.
This was a great and insightful video. Pretty cool to see what goes on beyond the race fence
I have 3 of Kym's prints from his web site, one of which is Lando exiting the tunnel. It's great.
Could I ask what the photo was called? I would love to purchase one😀Thanks
@@ollie.n1302 F1 Wall Art, Lando Norris Monaco Tunnel on Canvas. Monaco 2021, I think.
Another great video Kym, on the selfie shots of yourself it looks as video stabilising wasnt turned on . Little bit of jelly movements.
great video, thanks Kym. one day I would like to visit Monaco for a race so this helps me know what to expect. however ive settled for Montreal this year. see you there!
Great insights as always Kym. 👏🏽
Best video IMHO you have done, thank you
Excelent content!
A great report and I agree that the Monaco Grand Prix is the prettiest of the grand prix races.
Also one of the most boring F1 races, albeit the most spectacle
Really nice content. Thank you for you effort and the insights. This is better than TV stuff.
Wow, thanks!
This didn't age well. I just heard a photographer was taken to hospital following today's 1st lap crash. Hope that wasn't you, Kym. Thoughts and prayers with the injured guy obvs
All your videos are a must watch now… Great content, Kym!
Super news.
Great video Kym, thanks for the Monaco insight!!
Any time!
I absolutely loved Monaco GP, I was there at the 2011 and totally agree with the affordability, during the weekend there were market stalls set up at the outside of Antony Noghes corner inside the circuit selling ham and cheese baguettes for 4 euro and I found a volunteer stall selling 500mm Heineken cans for 5 euro! We sat in 2 positions, on the Saturday for qualifying a great little grandstand at Antony Noghes where you see the cars going into the pit entry and also turning into the start finish straight, wonderful position and on Sunday we were in the main grandstand opposite the harbour and we walked the circuit after the race and then joined in on the party.If you go to 1 GP in your life it has to Monaco. Enjoy your weekend Kym.
Wonder if it’s still the same price this long later.. and with the massive growth of F1?
Great insight Kym. Thank you very much. 😎
Great video as always Kym
Thank you!
Thanks Kym! This is our favorite time of the year in racing-Monaco and the Indy 500!🏁🙏🏻🏁
I will probably never get the wonderful opportunity to visit Monaco, certainly during the GP, so it is great for you to give us this unbelievable personal tour. Thanks, great job! STAY PASSIONATE!
thank you,,,,,you do the best vids.........well done........
Kym I love your videos..always following you from Kenya
I was there in 1991, fantastic race need to go back, great video by the way
Monaco - where Blanton's bourbon just sits there on the shelf at MSRP next to Johnnie Walker Red
Blanton's is only in short supply in the US, can get it easier in Canada
Went last year for the Formula E race, so the accommodation was cheaper than the F1 weekend. Loved the place and will go back. Very surprised it was good value to eat out. If you want and can afford the luxury, then great, as a tourist you can shop and eat like a local and its has a great atmosphere around the streets that again surprised me.
Really love your video's Kym!! one little request, can you talk a bit about the Monaco motorhomes? Especially the Red Bull Energy Station. Can find info about the station itself, but not about it's location, and the other teams places.
One of your best videos. I love the on the ground perspective you gave us.
I appreciate that!
Nice video Kym, interesting and nice to see it from your perspective. I don't often comment (sorry about that), your son is always a nice addition - must be nice to spend time with him whilst your working 👍
It’s fun I can assure you
great video thanks for the insight, bucket list race forsure.
My fav race of the year as well.. been there once and did not found he prices reasonable for food, stayed in Nice and used the train daily etc as you mentioned for food etc def heading there again..as always keep these great videos coming !!!
Great vid' as always and nice of you to include the young lady at the end, lol. Love Monaco, the State and the race :)
Brilliant video Kym
A budget traveler can stay in Nice and surrounding area during both the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco GP, and do both events easily, thanks to frequent rail service throughout the French and Italian Riviera. The trick is to plan and book very early, because the best deals gets snapped up quickly.
Hello Kym, I'm a new subscriber and really enjoying all your content! My brother attended the 1991 Monaco race, we bought scalper tickets and sat in the first set of grand stands after the tunnel and chicane, we were getting pelted with rub wevwere seating so close! PRICELESS!!!! Best, however, was an "extremely cool track Marshall," allowing us to stand several meters inside the tunnel during practice. WOW, felt like every molecular of my being wanting to explode!! Looking forward to more of your coverage of the Canadian GP, my home race. What an embarrassment the Montreal Police ruined the race weekend for so many fans!! 🤔😡
You sir are a story teller and without annoying ai music.
Nice inside video of Monaco!!
Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy your videos...
Ngl i love these videos. 🔥🔥👍
the "Stay Passionate" woman is stunning!
When I've been to Monaco (1989 and 1992) I've stayed in Nice near the train station with some mates that travelled from Canada and Australia.
I did stay one night at the Youth Hostel in Menton. The stairs to the hostel are a killer!
You’re so easy to spot on the live stream coverage because of that hat 😂 love the content!
Just one hat left for sale now out of the first drop
Thanks Kym
Always enjoy your run downs. And agree - perhaps the best course in the world..........for various reasons.
Some of others. I love the history and urban closeness myself.
Thanks again
Nice video and some good pointers about pricing as it is the bias that everything is extremely expensive in Monaco.... so not everything as said !
Remarkable content creation amd quality. You can start a business of coaching how to do it so smooth.
thanks Kym, my favourite photographer
Fantastic video- thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful content, lovable character
Was lucky enough to win tickets to the Monaco GP back in 2000.....the mystique that you mention is just another level. You almost feel like a gatecrasher in some ways just being there and just soaking up the beauty of the place for however short you're there. Always mega. Lovely video but seriously how expensive is Perth?
Great video, thanks for the tour. I think id prefer to go and watch the historic racing as there is a greater variety of cars and leas people there. Maybe one day .
Saw you kym on tv in Queensland standing next to horner at the Italian race last weekend, love your hat 👒 ❤️❤️🦘🐨🇦🇺
Great Vid
Kym, you should try and find Motor Yacht Loon which is there ATM, the captain Paul Clarke is also a Perth boy!
Cheers for the video Kym. Can’t believe what they did to the Casino Square area a couple of years ago by removing the fountain and paving over the area. No doubt it’s more efficient for day-to-day traffic but just utterly removed the character of that view from the grandstand.
My favorite F1 journalist
Merci!
Went to NICE, FR because a friend wanted to. Looked on the map and decided to drive to Monaco. We could believe how reasonable the cocktails were there. 8 EUROs and we were expecting to pay 25 or more. The thrill was driving through the tunnel I had in television since I was 7...loved that visit.
@Kym have you done one yet on how F1 photographers make money? Be very interesting to get across that one.
i've been inmonaco for the first time last week for a job thing, is been weird being there in person. the place doesnt feel real.
Interesting video. Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
We really blessed to have Kym we finally know much about F1 life
Happy to share what I know with you
Wow just stunning
First of all thanks for the fantastic insight into the photography spots around the track, secondly how do you decide which spot you're going to shoot from on race day as I'm guessing you're pretty much confined to that stretch of track once there meaning you probably shoot different locations during the practice sessions and qualifying? Thirdly the bass guitar track at 6min 58sec, do you know who's playing it as it sounds very distinct and in the style of a guy who recently passed away, the bass player from Nu Shooz Gary Fountaine
Fun to see your walk about…those apartments being built in the water outside the Fairmont hotel are called Mara Terra and cost up to about $150M euro for the half dozen or so villas ..competition now 2025 after COVID delay..
Outstanding 👍👍
7:48 that looks so good
Facts
New to Kym’s content❤. Is there a video on how he got started shooting Grand Prix?
yup
*I love opulence. I hate poverty - there's nothing good about it. Thank you for sharing Kym. Excited for more Monaco content ❤️!*
I save these restaurant recommendations. Pretending to myself that I'll visit Monaco sometime
are all shooting points the same every time you visit a track or do you have to scout around before?
Good content
I think i saw the sirocco boat there. It’s in the TV series Below Deck
Never been to the race, but have fond memories of walking the actual track during off season, and sprinting around that Casino hairpin as fast as the F1 cars take it so I could brag I was as fast as Formula 1 racer! 😆 Also stood on the spot that Senna crashed out while leading by a big margin and reflected on the great man. Bonus was that I did that walk with my best friend, and a random stranger we met who it turned out used to work at McLaren back in the 80's, so we shared some good stories during that afternoon in the Monaco sun...
No matter how bad the track is for racing, especially with the current oversized cars, the glamour, image and vibe this place brings to F1 will make sure it will probably never get deleted from the calander.. Not any time soon anyway.. It's part of what F1 is and the Grand Prix of Grand Prix..
Monaco where are u? Its race weekend..my favorite place Monaco
That new swimming pool in the huge land expansion has underwater windows that look into the sea, maybe we can see you in there next year kym 😉
Wow, that’s a game changer
Go to the Italian restaurant in Tabac corner, great food
Love F1. I hope I can afford to attend a race one day. Still a bit out of reach, but looks very beautiful on television.
❤ u buddy keep it up. And plz try to reply to comments first hour of uploading. Not many people comment in that hour but imoroves ur algorithim the more comments there are on ur videos
I always try to!
Nice!@@KymIllman
Love the Monaco GP, nothing can match it, except maybe aussie GPs, the atmosphere down under is also nuts, but the Monaco is a special package. BTW, best it to stay near Nice and then just take a heli about 5-10 minutes to heliport in Monaco and go from there, takes away many problems from having a car during GP in Monaco...
Monaco is the greatest event until the race starts
