I heard a story that because the first Spanish GP at Catalunya was hosted so soon after the track was built, there was no time for grass to grow on the mud banks around the circuit, so the organisers spray painted the banks green to make it look like grass
It was originally built for the 1992 Summer Olympics, but it was finished ahead of schedule and given that Jerez was a no-go after 1990, Catalunya was shoehorned in as a last minute replacement.
I love these videos, but I think personally it would be better to drive each track in a car from the period when the track was used instead of a modern car, as it would give a better sense of what it was like and we would be able to see more realistic corner speeds etc. Still great video !
Yeah I tried that out at the beginning of the season and I felt like adding the modern car was more fun as it gives you a comparison of what the newer cars could do on the older version of a circuit or so, But yeah I get what you mean
I did many laps in Montjuïc with my bike. Nowadays, there is a roundabout between Avinguda Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia and Avinguda de l'estadi (Main straight). Some streets are wider than Baku main straight.
Jerez last time they host formula 1 GP was 1997 but not with Spanish GP name but European GP and also the last race of 1997 became famous of Schumacher coliaded with Villanueva then made Schumacher got fined by FIA with all his points 1997 gone, but the all he podiums, fastest laps and racers win still recognize
Last week i was in Barcelona and i actually visited the Monjuïc. Theres a memorial to the track and plus the Olympic Park is right next to the old pit straight. Looking at the roads which made up Monjuïc its insane that they actually raced there. That last sector is trouser-ruiningly fast
I'm not sure the simulated Jerez track is very accurate. In 1997 the straight at 4:13 took around 6 seconds for an F1 car. Modern cars are faster now but the sim version of that straight still seems much too short. The hairpin at the end was the location of Michael Schumacher's infamous collision with Jacques Villeneuve. "You hit the wrong part of him, my friend."
@@benceardai5739 True, the V8’s were introduced in 2006. Toro Rosso did have a V10 that year, but a downgraded one. It was the last car to have a V10.
Wrong. The chicane was created in 2007. 2006 was the first year of V8s, but Toro Rosso competed with a sorta modified V10 engine. For 2007 they had V8 engine like all teams
8:27 this info was actually not correct. in 2003, there was still one single route at La Caixa. in 2004 they built an additional route which is tighter and started using this it until 2020.
Kinda funny how we are pretty much back at the original 1995 Layout in 2023 with La Caixa being closer to the original again and the infamous chicane finally removed.
Well I'm glad it's gone. I'm just a simracer but gods that chicane is definitely very high up my list of most hated corners. Completely kills the flow of the track.
I loved the 2021 track layout. The only problem was the RACC chicane, it could have been shorter, now I understand why people thought it was a simulator nightmare.
@@Nekrews51 Yes, there were many moments that I remember. For example the Mercedes crash in 2016, or the fight between Carlos and Alonso in 2018, or Hamilton's comeback last year. There are definitely several moments, but these are the ones that came to my mind first :D
Wait, another post-Eurovision Formula 1 race in Catalonia, Spain? That's quiet interesting to see the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. F1 should race here with the 14-turn MotoGP layout, instead of chicanes. #assettocorsa #nekrews51 #ferrari #carlossainz #charlesleclerc #eurovision #f1 #formula1 #jesc #motogp #worldsbk #unitedbymusic #weraceasone #circuitdecatalunya #barcelona #catalonia #spain #catalangp #catalanworldsbk #europegp #europeangp #spanishgp #valenciagp

Maybe do another video with this format that would be really interesting as a comparison
@@Nekrews51 i prefer the new car too, because there are videos on the internet with the old cars on old layouts.
Montjuic is a street circuit we need in today's calendar. Hope they revive it if they wanna plan a street course in Barcelona 🙏🙏🙏
that Pedralbes mod looks like it's straight from 1998
Yeah it’s not great 😅 But it’s as best as we are going to get
You're now, officially, the most informative channel about F1!
Ahaha thank you 😁
Fun fact: Alonso the only one on the grid who drove on the track without the chicane
Alonso P1?

@@ymeshulin Jeez, take a chill pill 😂
2023 was like 1995 layout
Jarama in the video is not of formula 1 years - that configuration was introduced years after it hosted last F1 GP
Fun fact: The first time the chicane was introduced, Toro Rosso (now Alpha Tauri) still raced with V10.
Your statement is flawed. In 2007 was the chicane introduced, and every single f1 car had V8 power units from that year, even Toro Rosso.
@@benceardai5739 True, the V8’s were introduced in 2006.

Why is it codemasters and EA can't do this level of track graphics. This is absolutely awsome
evolution of sPAIN
Spain without the S

Rossi vs Lorenzo 2009. Last corner battle was amazing.
You know that as much as it wasn't used as the Spanish GP, Jerez was still used for a race in 1997
Kinda funny how we are pretty much back at the original 1995 Layout in 2023 with La Caixa being closer to the original again and the infamous chicane finally removed.
The Spanish GP needs to move to Motorland Aragon and Formula 1 keep Barcelona for testing only.
All they have to do to make this circuit way better is make turn one tighter so you can get some better moves
Well I'm glad it's gone. I'm just a simracer but gods that chicane is definitely very high up my list of most hated corners. Completely kills the flow of the track.
I don't think much of Spain as a track has had it's moments like in 1991 & 96 apart from that's it really.
Good video, but you missed Valencia circuit during the 2008-2012
That was Europe GP
@@AndresDCK Yeah this video is specifically for the Spanish GP, Might do a European version later down the line so don’t worry 😉
Valencia Circuit is in MotoGP
Jarama is in Madrid. You forgot to say it.
6:45 which is the current layout for 2023 Spanish GP
nope, turn 10 is a little bit different right now
Where is Jerez 1994 and 1997 with the Chicane in the last Sector? 😅
Jerez 94,97 hosted European, not Spanish GP

Great video, I think the last chicane of Catalunya also changed during 2017
Yeah it did, Unfortunately I can’t get mods for like the smallest upgrades so I just go with what I can get ya know 👌
If im not wrong, they build a new chicane just for MotoGP, which they dindt use at the end
@@deivid_14h it ultimately became the De Facto layout for the WRX events while the F1 chicane was the Joker Lap
@@deivid_14h I think they builded for moto GP but it was also used for formula 1. In fact, it is the actual chicane of the circuit.
@@nachonunez4545 no, the chicane never changed, they just builded a newer one which was never used
Let's give a round of applause to Carlos Sainz.
If we're being honest, there's never been a really good race in Spain, except maybe 1996.
2012 Spain?
@@Akniy I hope you mean Valencia and not Barcelona. But yes, Valencia was good, but I actually didn't think any race was good in BARCELONA 😅
Yeah it’s never like insane or so but like we have had some classic moments at least
@@Nekrews51 Yes, there were many moments that I remember. For example the Mercedes crash in 2016, or the fight between Carlos and Alonso in 2018, or Hamilton's comeback last year. There are definitely several moments, but these are the ones that came to my mind first :D
Its a nice video, but the turn is not called La Caxie, the real name is La Caixa. But except for that its a perfect video. Good job
hola el video está Genial muy bueno:
🤜🤛👍👊💪👌
Pedralbes street circuit is just a simplified Baku street circuit
Hi nekrews just got a question to ask
Is the las vegas gp only in f1 23 champions edition or is it also on basic edition of f1 23?
Las Vegas in Basic and Champions edition
Yeah it’s in both editions, You just get more bonus content with the champions edition
but they was a street scircuit in valencia
That was european gp

+ Jerez 1994 & 1997 Europe
Can ypu do the same but in f1 games not asseto corsa?
i downloaded the catalunya mod, but it crashes when loading.
it says "ai spline might be missing"
what should i do about this?
wow
Be careful with DAZN Spain mate haha
😂😂😂😂
Jerez 1994?
Remember Jerez became the European GP later down the line, This video is about the history of the Spanish GP so that’s why it ends at 1990
This video is seemingly only about every Spain event under the Spanish GP title, as the later Jerez ones used the European GP title.
valencia?
Where Valencia? :(
That was the European GP
@@FCB001 Am I wrong or was the European GP also in Jerez? Or am I just confusing it with 1997?
@@Kevin_DB no, you're right, Jerez hosted the European GP in 1994 and 1997, but also the Spanish GP from 1986 to 1990.
First ping me
I did last time remember so we give someone else a turn now :)
