- Fat Alfie has done it once again and has brought us back to a beautiful slice of fading history! Bremgarten was one of the prewar greats, revived after the war, but abandoned as Switzerland reacted to the 1955 Le Mans disaster. In today's memory it is all but forgotten, but in an alternate history "Bremgarten" could be the same as Spa, Monaco, Monza or the Nürburgring. A daring test of courage, the Bremgarten circuit was low on Safety and high on speed. Put on your cap and do your best Fangio, Moss, Ascari or Cracciola impression! This version captures the feeling of the final years of racing at the circuit in stunning detail.

You think I'd be Bremgarten'd out, but I thoroughly enjoyed this dude. Now back to Festival of Speed coverage ;)
I look forward to watching your take on this Chris
And I feel asleep ND completely missed The Festival star! Argghh!!
My friend Jake got to drive the yardley BRM up the hill 😁
Could I ask the degree of steering rotation u use in the base? I’m on a dd wheel, I’m not sure if I should be 900 or 1080 with these, though I can actually set the real amount which ever a 60’s Maserati had
lol I was planning on watching your video after this one
It's nice hearing about automobilism history with a morning coffee.
With Switzerland's gov't dropping the death blow on racing in 2009, the future of Swiss racing is already its history.
And on June 2022, Switzerland officially lifted the ban so...
The lift on the motorsport ban is kind of redundant. The cheap events such as rallies and Formula E street races had already been running for a while.
Building full on race tracks for GT racing or maybe F1 is an undertaking that is very expensive and very hard to justify for a country like Switzerland. Besides, they are already geared towards electric power and the current formula for electric car racing favours temporary street circuits.
Perhaps some go-kart and FIA grade 3 tracks will pop up, higher than that I highly doubt will happen.
Bremgarten is in my book on my personal favourite. This track flows like an unpolluted creek, has great elevation changes and gorgeous surroundings.
Very underrated.
I will literally never tire of the Maserati 250F in AC, I think I've driven it more than any other car at this point. It's such a joy to drive, truly a work of art. I think if I won the lottery, I'd buy a real one!
You can always try your hand at stonks
You could try to build a cycle kart, or even better a replica
These are indeed quite simple machines. You could totally build one if you had the will and some money.
There is a number of modern engines and transmissions that could do well in such a vehicle.
It’s easily one of the most gorgeous F1 cars, especially the twelve cylinder T2, which has the iconic twin side exhausts. Racing it down the Gesamtstrecke feeling like Fangio in 1957 is exciting.
Waking up on an off day to a GPLaps vid is just a good feeling
As a swiss it is so sad that track racing has been banned🙄
And all attempts for a complete lift of the ban have failed; only point-to-point events like stage rally are allowed to use ICE-powered vehicles and track racing is restricted to electric cars only, like the Mario Kart-esque Formula E (but I'll save my tangent on that sport for another day)
@@legoferrari14 please where I am it's another day, I wanna here this tangent
@@swizterlandscitezen From Bern, you?
@@swizterlandscitezenI'm from Ticino
Would habe Been Sadder if it wasnt banned
One of the (many) immersive part of Alfie's tracks for me is the depth in the forested and wooded areas; both the way the trees are planted, the variety and how far back they go means it feels overbearing, claustrophobic and scary - everything driving a period car around a circuit like this should be. Looking forward to finding all the little details hidden around this one, he's already had me Googling defunct Swiss jam companies...
Great video and presentation as ever, been really looking forward to your take on this one.
You really feel transferred back in time with these videos. I especially like all the historical information and details during the race. Great work! As an Austrian I also acknowledge your commitment to all the german pronunciation xD
Parts of the circuit still survive to this day in the form of either public roads, forest roads, access roads and paved footpaths. You can still see the rough outline on satellite maps. As a local, its hard to imagine that seventy years ago, there were these cars driving in anger around these streets.
Gäu ih finge ds ou unvorstellbar ds bim bremgarte mau e rennstrecki ish gsi.
What a wonderful video! I really enjoyed watching it, and hearing your comments too. It certainly was a special circuit, and I can understand now why it was so infamous in its day.
And just wait until you take Gary's awesome Auto Union Type-C round there in anger, imagining that you're Bernd Rosemeyer >_<
Thanks again for the video!
Thank you for all of your hard work. We are so lucky to have wonderful people like you creating these amazing mods.
I actually think you’re a bit like musicologists who research & save musical history of old composers or transcribing world / folk music etc...
What you’re doing with these mods is a pretty special thing for motor racing history, in a weird way!
Bremgarten for GTLegends is awesome, really feels like you're racing through the woods. One of my favourites.
This track has a spirit, you can almost feel the glory of the old races
The 1923 grand prix cars by nicecuppatea feel amazing on this track. They just feel at home sliding through the fast corners. The bumps and penultimate corner become a real challenge. Even driving slow, they feel fantastic. Especially the Fiat. The Bugatti is a real challenge under braking too.
Fat Alfie's work is pure genius. Modding above and beyond most in game work
I love the discipline of not lunging in each corner just because it is possible in a video game. :D
I've used to binge-play at this track in Grand Prix 3. The track was horrible and had nothing to do with any other version I've seen in any other sim, but was SO MUCH FUN to race at huge speeds with modern F1 cars. This AC version is outstanding, amazing video!
I have thoroughly enjoyed throwing the 250f 12 around this track.
This isn't a racetrack, it's a work of art!
It is so satisfying to go over leaves at the edge of the track (line). I remember doing this first time in NFS4 Homestead(?) track.
So glad to see this done so well in AC. One of the greatest tracks ever, I've been driving it forever in GPL. The extra details here and track surfaces are incredible!
Love this track, first saw it on your GPL 50's season. Going 240km on cobble stones in these cars.. YES!
I haven't tried Bremgarten for AC, but I love it for GTR2. Deep deep breaths before the forest section every lap!
I still cant believe I got this game and most dlc for like...$8 Canadian or something, a year or two ago. One of the best game purchases ever.
An epic drive on an epic track, with history thrown in - gorgeous!
Your historical track races are always fun to watch. You give some great history about the tracks and your race commentary is excellent!
Dang, I just love these recreations! Watching you drive while listening to your fabulous background info is such a treat. And I look forward to hearing that "Whoa!" when things get just a little hairy! Bravo Jake.
Such a great video thanks jake! My favourite era of racing the 50s, such a cool track definitely going to get it
Bremgarten is hands down one of the most fun tracks i've ever played. it's all high speed corners! only 2 low speed corners max. such a great vibe! driven vintage cars up to gt3 around it and it was so fun and had excellent laps! big recommend!
I'd love to see you narrating a real life race using older cars. That would be an absolute treat to see!
This track is absolutely incredible. Maybe the best feeling and looking track mod in AC.
Fat Alfie does it again! This is one awesome track. Spent three hours racing 1931 Bugatti Type 51a's the day it came out.
Man! Fat - Alfie really makes the best tracks. I have downloaded them all and had countless hours of tremendous fun! Thanks for bringing this awesome content to us.
Great video as always @GPLaps !!! Your videos are an absolute treat: A history and racing lesson, be it tracks or cars or events, in classic motorsport racing 🔥❤🏁
Beautiful work by Fat Alfie. And great intro by GP Laps. Cheers.
Absolutely love these videos. It's amazing how sim racing has enabled us to get these virtual peeks back into motorsports history.
I absolutely love these videos!! So interesting, and so immersive. Amazing work, GPLaps 4 Lyf 🔥🔥🤘🤘👑
This was one of my favourite tracks in GTLEGENDS, and this version is simply outstanding, a stunning piece of work! 👍 it's so good and the racing so enjoyable I've had to watch it a few times to take in all the detail 😲 incredible.
Thank you for this, a glass of 🍷 and dinner watching this was an excellent way to enjoy the evening 😉🏁
That last lap made me love the track even more. Thank you for such great content.
Great video as always! Clean driving!
Yet another very entertaining race. Love the track; the car looks and sounds fantastic, and, as always, great commentary from you.
Excellent driving and a 2nd to none coverage of the track and it's history.
Manmanman these videos are great, full of info and straight to the point. Craftsmanship
Wow, talk about quadruple amazing... Amazing video, amazing commentary, amazing driving, and of course one AMAZING track! Thank you for creating this video.
This looks amazing! Love the older cars and tracks. Madness that people raced these machines.
As soon as this track was released I couldn't wait for this video
This track is so much fun to drive and so well made, I think it will be a few weeks until I want to drive somewhere else. I mostly use the Lotus 25 here.
Great video, as usual!
This channel is exactly what I was looking for!
What a video, so thankful for these new simulators that allow non-professionals in the matter to have footage to comment about motorsport history over
As always great and relaxing video 💖
So much better than today’s generic boredom
Thanks for doing my fave historical track!
Another top notch breakdown of a beloved track 👍Nice watching Bremgarten in AC! Drove it alot in rFactor and GTR2, more than a decade ago. With all the good tools for AC, I definitely have to revisit the track in AC, in the historic cars from these grand prix years, just coming from historic Napoli in pre-war gp cars. I'm happy AC is held alive this way.
Amazing track and driving. Big ups!
Excellent video about this fantastic circuit Jake. Unfortunately I`m not sim racing just now (moving house) but this is on top of my list for when I get a new rig built.
I need to try this. I've driven the old GPL circuit which I found stupid hard! I am totally jealous of your effortless driving style Jake but love watching your videos.
Brilliant work. This I s exactly why. AC is still so great. Excellent video. Thanks.
Absolutely awesome!🤩
Thanks as always!
From Fat Alfie, Fonteny is another driving gem : very long + 20 km, hard to memorize. It's the Le Mans for the road cars.
This one can be very tricky : the older the car, the less reliable driving is, given the road surface is very irregular. Older cars are really messy with road management.
i love driving old f1 cars and prototypes around this track
Brilliant re-creation!
Great video and great driving :P
Great vid. Never heard of Bremgarten--Fat Alphie did a great job on its recreation. Can you imagine how it was driving on this circuit during rain? Damn, that'd be frightening. I thought you would lose it during the last lap at a few corners. LOL.
I gotta feeling james behra would love this track lol. Jake you are a legend and i hope you know that, i literally can't get enough of your channel and that days of thunder video made me laugh for hours! And when this dropped on RD i knew right away you would review it FAT-ALFE is a god and genius, i try and pick his brain on his VAC channel turns out he is a very nice guy and he is quite funny. Also any moders for ac that do cars PLEASE do more 50s grand prix cars! Thank you for all the great videos jake a true gentleman and legend. Cheers bud ;)
This looked like one hell of a track to race on!
Thanks, this was a blast, like usual!
Too bad the IROC races didn’t start 20 years earlier. If they had, they might have actually used the Maseratis and it would have looked like this!
That Intro was great! Urged to have a Classic Spa - the search got me '66 Spa, PreWar Spa, Pre War Monza, a PreWar Oval in Spain and France.
I liked the circuit, great video.
ya this is a great track. I just ran the same car/ track combo and it was very nice. The bumps in the road and cobblestone felt perfect through my transducers
Honestly you run one of the best channels on TH-cam
Bremgarten... the place in the Alps to really Bern Rubber
Lovely track & great video as usual. So evocative. Really need to get a computer and sim rig setup. I mean I have a G27 wheel set
Waking up to Gp laps video is unmatched
Liked this track in GPL, but never really mastered it. I think it's time to try it in AC. Thanks for another cool video :)
Yes, a new Gee Plaps video! And new Fat Alfie!
Excellent!
I wonder if anyone's made the Brooklands circuit into a track for the game? For those unaware, Brooklands was a fairly early purpose built race track in constructed in Surrey, England in 1907. It had two huge brick built banked turns, parts of which still exist as part of the museum now on the site. The first person to ever drive more than 100 miles in 1 hour did so at Brooklands, with Percy E Lambert covering 103 miles, 1470 yards in his modified Talbot equipped with a 4.5 litre 4 cylinder engine.
There is a Brooklands track in rFactor 1, with 3 versions on the oval track, and the Campbell road circuit.

Excellent !!!!
yay new video
It is a very treacherous track, Bremgarten. The first Swiss GP in 1934 saw the death of British driver Hugh Hamilton driving a Maserati 8CM for Whitney Straight's team.
Postwar, it claimed some higher profile drivers. Motorcycle racer (and former car racer as well) Omobono Tenni (for the motorcycle support race) and pre-war great Achille Varzi (driving an experimental new variant of the 158 "Alfetta") lost their lives at Bremgarten in the1948 Swiss GP practice, and during the race day Christian Kautz (driving a Maserati 4CL) was also killed.
Then, in a supporting sportscar race at the 1952 Swiss GP, another pre-war great, this time Mercedes' Rudolf Caracciola, crashed into a tree, which ended his racing carreer.
A track with one fast corner after another, trees ready to catch an errant car, it really is going to test one's skill, bravery, and luck.
Oh, and there's Mercedes Benz driver Hans Geier's big crash during the 1935 Swiss GP practice (some pictures show that the car is completely demolished), and on race day, Louis Chiron also had a big crash in an Alfa Romeo.
joo i never expected this, i actually live there this is crazy to me
What a wonderful track. I play on console so can’t get all these mods, but really enjoy 60s Silverstone or Monza with the Escort RS 1600. Much more fun than racing modern GT cars!
Bremgarten was probs my fave addon track in GPL
Magnificent
As a Swiss it is nice to see that 🇨🇭
Gp laps ,this great,iam off to download then play in VR
I trully wish you could post the Full tracks for 1994 Nascar racing
Im having a blast playing it again
Imagine that track with modern GT3 cars like the Nordschleife Endurance Series ...
Love this but I will say this the cars sound like you are in a tunnel for some reason lol
*talking about switzerlands ban on moterracing with we all go down to dixie* lol
There’s a Bremgarten track for GP4 but I’m not sure it’s as realistic as this one. It’s entirely on cobblestone and really hard to drive…
Late Group C cars would probably be a bit extreme around here
This track would be awesome to drive on the Porsche 919
WOW!!!
How do you get into track creation. Looks amazing
Turn 1 in Lotus Exos 125 S1 (formula car) is full throttle at 320 km/h, and it's precise, especially with low aero ........which is what you run because second half of the track is all full throttle. It's a little scary. It's awesome. Try it.
Well, most turns are full throttle if you get the line right and have just enough aero: T1 & 2 (T2 if enough aero. Perhaps if you get the line right with less aero, i don't know. I haven't driven this that much yet), the downhill S after T3 (Yorden?), and what GPLaps said is hardest corner 7:12.
Very nice!
Man how can I make the AI run smoothly and fast in older tracks? I'm running WSC 1970 project but the AI is a mess! For example in SPA they run 10 seconds slower then me with standard setup and 100% of strength and they just can't stop crashing! I'm very frustrated because I really wanted to reproduce the thrill of those races.
I watch your videos and the AI are always running ok. Did I miss some configuration or setup? Is there something I can do?
Any help would be appreciated!
Hope you were wearing the brown overalls at 11:55... Great course modelling though!
And i still hate the fact, that after the le mans accident, switzerland never had a circuit again… i wish racing was a bigger thing here.
