Wow, super fast! I remember that Keke Rosberg broke the average speed record with a Williams Honda, close to 250km/h. If I'm not mistaken it was in 1985. Today they would get very close to an average of 280km/h.....Wow!!
From about the mid-70s to the early-90s Silverstone was the fastest circuit in F1, even more than Monza. Keke Rosberg's 1985 pole lap was the first anywhere to average over 160mph, and remained the fastest qualy lap in F1 until Juan Pablo Montoya finally broke it at Monza in 2002.
This makes Monza look like Monaco. Silverstone now is a higher end normal F1 circuit, but back then it was *different*. You've gotta have some different tracks on the calendar, and this kind of appeals to me. Great video as always.
In the 1980s, the turbo engine era, Monza, Silverstone and Hockenheim were circuits with terrifyingly fast average lap speeds. The races were exciting for TV viewers, but they also contained dangers that would not be tolerated under modern safety regulations. It was a wonderful video that reminded us of the time when motorsports was not a "competition by athletes" but a "battle by daredevils."😢
It maybe bumpy and it maybe boring to you all. But to me it's a testament of how fast these cars can go and just how much control it takes to handle the bumps in the track. Plus it's a track with plenty of speed behind it.
@@Deadsphere yeah I know that is the type of race tracks in the 80s but I'm just comparing 80s and now. Silverstone was still cool back then but right now it is better
The old Silverstone was bumpy but wouldn't be this bad in a modern F1 car. The old cars got thrown around more because they weighed much less, particularly in qualifying.
Thruxton is like 3 tight corners at first, then it's almost never straight and then has the final actual chicane 1980s Silverstone has no tight corners and Luffield is barely a chicane
With some 100% doable changes (Copse being the current version, slower Becketts, 1990s Stowe and a proper chicane in Luffield), this could still be raced today - It's kinda strange how we went from this to left-right everywhere (Bridge corner was awesome though) to the current clusterfuck OG Silverstone = a bit too simple 1980s Silverstone = great, perfect if with the changes I proposed 1990s/00s Silverstone = very nice but too many esses Current Silverstone = fuck it

- How bumpy is this track ?
- Yes
The Maggots-Beckets zone was actually a good change, but I miss the old bridge

2004*
Great lap. Utterly fantastic.

Era stupendo quel layout!
0:50 man using DRS on Abbey😮😮

I loved the 91-93 version of Silverstone with the super-fast Bridge corner.
Good video mate
Those bumps are rough back in the day, fantastic lap!
I'm more used to the current layout

I feel like Silverstone in the 1980s is more boring than the current one. The current one is better what do you guys think ❤🤑😎
I think you're uncultured because this is what most tracks looked like in the 80s.

@@kaporezim As if Brands Hatch is any better.
If you mean with "less corners", ok I agree. But not that it's necessarily boring. Search here for that same race in 1988. It wasn't boring at all.
@@Deadspherefr
nice

I prefer the old layout. Nice lap!
I'd love to see F1 run on a circuit like this today just to see what a total slip stream fest would look like in 2023.
Better than todays, it’s the British Monza.
Bruh that is literally just thruxton wtf 😂😂
Thruxton is like 3 tight corners at first, then it's almost never straight and then has the final actual chicane
1980s Silverstone has no tight corners and Luffield is barely a chicane
@@DiegoRuiz1991 I’m more looking at the track map. It’s a very similar shape
@@Kinggrave - The only real similarity is they both run clockwise and surround all X-shaped runways... so not that much
With some 100% doable changes (Copse being the current version, slower Becketts, 1990s Stowe and a proper chicane in Luffield), this could still be raced today - It's kinda strange how we went from this to left-right everywhere (Bridge corner was awesome though) to the current clusterfuck
OG Silverstone = a bit too simple
1980s Silverstone = great, perfect if with the changes I proposed
1990s/00s Silverstone = very nice but too many esses
Current Silverstone = fuck it
what is the f1 mod?i have rss 2023 but this one looks diffo
It's this one: assettocorsamods.com/product/assetto-corsa-grand-prix-2023-mcl60-mod/
Becketts
Chapel
end😑
For racing purposes, THIS is way better
surely a 2020/21 car could do a sub 1 minute lap with ease
The bridge over Hangar Straight was not built until 1989
This version was active until 1990 so STFU
Australia
