- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Formula 1 travels to all corners of the global...nearly. They travel to North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. However, the continent of Africa has been missing since 1993. In this video, we have a look at why F1 should return to Africa and where they can host a race on it.
A special thanks to Sim Dane for collaborating on this project! Be sure to check out his channel, if you haven't already.

The song was fire. Was excited about the topic of the video then lost it when my boy Sim Dane waltzes in.
Best crossover in history
Dear South Africans watching this...

2) While I was expecting an Africa song joke somewhere...this was GLORIOUS and provided me some much needed laughs. If it doesn't go viral it's a cruel injustice.

It's from Sim Dane and he makes great songs about every race
That song was amazing. I laughed through most of it but it was put together really well.

As a South African this made me so exited as I wasn’t around when they used to race here and would love to see it
same, the highest and most profesional race currently hosted in South Africa is probably the Kyalami 9hr endurance race, even though it is still awesome to see that I would love to see a F1 race in real life
i was so ready for the F1 joburg fest, then Corona hit..
@@k.k.t9597 yep

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS
I've been waiting my whole life for a South African GP. Kyalami is a Grade 2 circuit(it's quite narrow and short), but it won't take alot of upgrading to get to grade 1. It also has some history in F1
Length wise Kyalami is long enough, but it might be a bit narrow like Monoca/Imola, but you never know?🤷🏻♂️
I mean, if Zandvoort could be upgraded from G2 to G1, why not Kyalami?
@@andrewdotmp4 Money, first infrastructure like new grandstand and trackside seating since Kyalami doesn't have proper ones, then the hosting fee, its so expensive not even germany can't afford either the Nürburgeing or Hockenheinring due to the hosting fee, RSA has a lot of money problems and I know this bc I'm South African and our situation is good enough yet to host a F1 GP again unless a miracle happens.
I thought it was a barrier problem. They need to upgrade them to techpro
Kyalmi is 6 Hours ahead of me. If there would be a Kyalmi Gp it would be the only time I’m not complaining about waking up at 6am
True
i have to wake up at 6am to watch most european races lol
South Africa is only one hour ahead of most of the European countries so it should be fine
@@jordanross2583 well unfortunately I’m in America. European races are always somewhere between 7-9 am for me. Asia Races were just not going to even mention them
@@Kyleconley59 luckily for me in india all the european races are between 5-7 pm so its super convenient
even the australian round is at a comfortable 10am
the NA rounds are just past midnight but i pretty much always stay up that late
As a South African , this video just makes me so happy
Its amazing to see people from other countries also pushing for an African race
As a South African ,this would bring tears to me and would be so excited.
3:01 "but before Matt Damon recieved a golden cup from Morgan Freeman" LMAOO
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....i was busy scrolling looking for this comment
Yeess South African GP PLEASE
And please also return to Anderstop for the Scandinavian GP, cause Scandinavian drivers do exist.
Or just host a race at Kymiring in Finland. Its a new FIA grade one track
@@matiaskarru456 that's an option too, but if they can upgrade Anderstop a bit to make it a grade one, Anderstop > Kymiring :)
It has more history as it hosted the Swedish GP back in the 70s (I'd rather it be called the Scandinavian GP though), it's more central in Scandinavia, and has better weather so it's the better choice in my eyes. Also I think it would provide pretty good racing, like it did in the 70s
Not JUST African.
South Africa :p
@@hlonim8667 ah that's what I meant, sorry! I'll edit it :)
@@zTeaTheCoffeeThat would be logistically very smart. Theres also a new grade one track called igora drive being built in russia near the finnish border. If they got that too we would have a real nice nordic trio ;)
Who else here is from South Africa just waiting for a South African GP
I was too young to actually enjoy the SA Grand Prix in 92 AND 93. I was 3 and 4 years old when the races took place. No memory of the race or anything. Only later when I grew up learning to like motorsport did I realize what I missed. Now I'm 31 years old...it's been over 2 decades. Jesus.
Born in 1996, so got to watch touring cars at Kyalami but never F1! It would be insane ♥️🇿🇦
Been waiting for one as well 😔 Being from Cape Town, I've only been able to go to a few events in Killarney, but that's it. Had to travel 16 hours just to see an F1 GP, only for the two Ferrari's to crash in the first lap... *Cough*, I'm sure you know which race I'm talking about.
Same, i would kill to watch F1 live in SA.

As a Moroccan/African fan of your channel, I'm really thankful for such a video.

The amount of South Africans in this comment section makes me happy. African f1 fans have been neglected & deprived (ok I’m being dramatic).
Ok I actually cried at the song at the end..🥺😭
True
F1: WE RACE AS ONE
Also F1: Lets go to Saudi Arabia lelelele

Same for Turkey
We race in many pieces! (With help from a bone saw!)
I love how guys like you are the type who will shit on Saudi Arabia’s human rights (rightfully so don’t get me wrong) but only because you hate the circuit, then you’ll go, “yay Bahrain!” Who in case you didn’t know have a lot of human rights violations as well but you just ignore that because you like the circuit. Boycott them all, or boycott none, those are the only choices.

A South African GP is so needed, I'm from Cape Town so I won't mind if its here or in Jozi.
2 hour flight and we in Jozi. Would be a nice race weekend.
A Cape Town street circuit would bang but also indifferent
A CT street circuit would be cool from a tourism and visual/scenery perspective, because Cpt is awesome. Kyalami is a cool track, although Jozi isn't the best tourist city imho
Since we’ve now approved running F1 races in a parking lot in Miami, that FIA grade 1 licensed track not being in Africa doesn’t seem like too much of a problem anymore.
Yes please!!! We have the tracks here in South Africa, they just need some upgrading. It would also certainly get more kids into racing. (Kyalami is a beauty, you can't lie!)
Yeah

really F1? Really?
They dont pay hosting fees its not liberty media fault that they made a deal with bernie to not pay
F1 didn't cancel interlagos dumbass. The government did it
@@Smithy250 really? How a government (federal, state and municipal) that profit a lot of money from it would cancel it? For Rio? Rio is BROKEN they can't afford pay the current bills let alone a racetrack, Rio only got the Olympics because the federal government decided clean the mess
Championship 4 Picks. Who’s taking it all this weekend?
Well, it looks like the new Brazil circuit isn't happening any time soon, and I don't think F1 worships Senna, I think that's mostly the fans.
This is a f*cking amazing video
Nor only is it funny, it has a great message, tells the truth and obviously has a great song in there
Love your vids but i think this is another level of great
One of the best videos Josh has ever produced!
Very Well done!
7:00 and also we need a race at New Zealand because its a separate continent (as we see on this picture) XD
Which circuit though?
Wellington street circuit. Because Monaco is too wide
@@elliotcrossan6290 Just have them race through the Vic tunnel
Toby Hofmans Taupo is grade 2 but it’s in the middle of fuckin nowhere, logistically speaking
Yes, map correctly shows separate continent of Zealandia & similar logic of contribution to F1 applies as South Africa.
I remember being the crowd at the Red Bull festival. It was so surreal to see a legendary driver in South Africa, as well as my home. I just started out in karting and I hope to become one of those drivers in the future.
Josh, dankie for the vid
As a South african i was just saying a cape town street circuit near vna waterfront would be great.
I just subscribed to you this morning, and after talking about this an hour ago, bam you up this. Damn
Well Cape Town along with Jaguar are bidding for a place on the Formula E calender, which is a start I would say?🤷🏻♂️
@@stefandebeer9375 that would be amazing! Just seeing racing here would be absolutely amazing
@@stefandebeer9375 oh wow really?
@Michael Thomas Cane Other tracks like? Kyalami is the best chance we have, its the only FIA grade 2 track we have any other tracks we have have a lower grade. Unless we got money to build a new track?🧐
@@MKRCinema Yes, it was anounced in July-August while FE was racing at Templehoff in Berlin this year. Hopefully the bid comes to fruition.
Thank you for this as a southafrican i really appreciate it when we get attension we have devoloped alot as a country
I really think Morocco deserves a chance to host a F1 GP it’s a passionate country about Motorsport they successfully hosted Formula E 4 times Wttc 16 times Formula 3000 2 times and they can upgrade the track to level 1 easily as they have a lot of space there and they have a massive logistic advantage
Lets bring F1 to anarctica we'd need some rally tires.

Correct
Guess we'll find out...
Hopefully the racing is good
Sooo we've been doing race in china for what? 10 years? And now saudi join and we start shouting about human right? Yeahhh righttttt
Let me see, things Americans love more than money and oil...hmmm..air strikes perhaps?

THANK YOU!!!!! for making this video. I'm from Cape Town and a street race there would be dope I have been saying this for years. Currently living in China so seeing home made this big boy drop a tear.
Honestly, kinda had a padda in my throat for a moment. Bursting with pride. That race in Cape Town would be epic. Kyalami would be my best bet though.
#AfricanGP make it happen FIA
A Cape Town street circuit would be hot.
@@Ronnie-fx1fq Because of the lack of water I'm sure.
No more street circuits. Kyalami or bust.
@@shrimpshrubbery7664 Kyalami won’t host an F1 Grand Prix (for now) and here’s some reasons why:
1. If a track want’s to host a race in an official FIA competition, it need an FIA grade, this vote decide how secure is gor the highest class (the F1), more higher is the number, more competitions you can host. For host an F1 race you need to be grade 1 track, if you want to host the tests of F1 you need do be grade T1 track, unfortunately, Kyalami is just a grade 2 track, i think because there are some dangers into turn 1.
But this number can be changed, for example, Turkey in July 2020 was a grade 2 track, but it host an F1 grand prix, the FIA change it in less than one month, so there is a bit of chance that Kyalami can host an F1 official grand prix.
2. If you go on the list of the grade 1 FIA tracks, you can see that there are some tracks that are grade 1 tracks, but they don’t host an F1 grand prix, that’s because F1 didn’t need to race there. For example, the Chang circuit is a grade 1 track, but F1 don’t race there because it won’t help the F1 marketing, that’s because F1 build tracks in rich places, for example Jeddah.
But there is a bit but a bit bit of chance that Liberty Media is interested to race there, but, like i said, is very less the possibility.
That means that F1 can race at Kyalami, but if it happened, it will happened at least in 10 years...

A street race here in Capetown would be absolutely insane. It'll be really great for receiving the tourism industry here after the damages caused by the pandemic - and also it will be an absolutely insane track! I used to drive around the city imagining which streets would be used if they were to make a street circuit... Just wishful thinking for now :(
Ngl, Sim Dane's cameo is much more of a bigger surprise to me than when Nick Fury appeared on the first Iron Man movie.
Whoa, I've made it.
I'm in a Josh Revell video.
Major props to James Hunt, for his willingness to speak out against Apartheid. Say what you will about his swearing, his playboy-lifestyle or whatever else you want about him, but he was brutally honest, and never afraid to speak his mind.
May that magnificent bastard rest in peace.
SOMEONE GET THIS SONG TO HAMILTON.
Oh man the vibe in Cape Town hits different! A street circuit either at the coast or in the CBD would be nuts!
Key takeaway from the races in 2020: Drivers love a classic, flowing circuit with elevation changes & multiple lines through corners. (Which Kyalami kind of has from what I've seen in racing games)
FIA: Ignores all that, opts for a night race to be replaced in time by a Tilke insomnia cure.
Man I was already convinced about the African GP, but that song, I’m 100000% convinced now.
Bruh, I live right next to the Kylami track
The World Cup in South Africa was the best in recent memory. Everything about it was epic and extremely memorable because of great African hospitality and how the stadiums were always rocked by the fans. I'm sure that would be the case for Formula 1 as well.
This is a serious comment
I'm really glad to be alive to see this type of content
God Damm much respect
I'm here, after the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has been announced for next year .... not cool at all.
#CancelKSAGP ?
Why? Seems like the "anti Saudi GP" crowd is mostly not even from those nearby the country itself. The fans from our country are just alright with a country like Arab Saudi having their own race.
@@mahiru20ten probably is because of the whole "We race as one" campaign thing... but I'm well aware of F1 racing in countries that go against the values they promote, like China, UAE etc. and see the hypocrisy in it. It may be just a PR stunt, but adding the Saudi GP certainly just accentuates F1's hypocrisy and worsening the current situation imo. But hey, you're cool to entitle to your opinion
Before I watch I would choose kylami a great track for GTE and we have raced there before
Oh man this warms my heart. We need a race. I love Grand Prix, and it’s my dream
To attend a race live.
I must admitted. The continent discuss, the history, and a song of sports - are always impress.

they gonn put Waka Waka instead of the anthem😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely LOVE the song! Fricking fantastic mate. Well written and performed - that's got to go viral! Come on folks, let's share this!
Kyalami is definitely worthwhile, IMHO. Stuff Saudi (if F1 boycotted SA because of their human rights abuses, then Saudi and Russia, at the very least, should absolutely be forgotten). If the FIA are so damned desperate to get 23 races (and why? 21 is more than enough for everyone involved in the teams, I'm sure), then help Kyalami and Morocco get up to snuff. And if the FIA/F1 are genuinely interested in racing for everyone, encouraging people from all backgrounds to get involved in motorsport, then going to Africa is an absolute MUST. Not just a nice pipe dream. Liberty earn more than enough by hiding so much stuff behind pay walls.

There was also a non-Championship F1 race held in Pinetown (Durban) in 1961.

As a South African I couldn’t agree more and this video was the most touching thing I’ve felt so touched in forever I’m only 13 if a race could be here in Johannesburg it could give me a massive chance to be the first black South African to have a real chance at that grid while being able to compete against the talent of course so thank you guys so much I’ve never felt this hopeful before
