Paul Ricard, like Barcelona, is a complete circuit, this is why teams like to test their cars there, and the races on this kind of tracks will most of the time reflect the hierarchy of the teams.

Actually he's wrong there isn't 167 ways to configure Paul Richard there's over 300. What he most likely means is there are 167 "practical configurations." In the first section there's 2 practical short cuts to the back straight. There's 3 ways to do the first 2 corners and 2 ways to get to the back straight 3 x 2 + 2 =8. There's at least 7 ways to run the chicanes in the Mistral 7x8 = 56. There's 2 ways at the end of Mistral 2x56=112. There's 3 ways to run the final complex for 336 configurations. My bet is that some of the ways to run the Mistral Chicane are simply impractical which reduces that number a lot.

@@HeavyMetalMonkey Nothing like them, no. We're talking an average of a 150m run between chicaines which is nowhere near enough time to draw alongside. It's more like narrower Sochi with fake grass.

The only change I would make to Paul Ricard is : - Switch the corners 3-4-5 to the same layout as Silverstone's 1-2-3.

The new regulations will make this less of an issue and provide more overtaking opportunities, at places like turn 1, the mistral chicane and turn 11. I wouldn't be surprised if next years race gives us as good, if not better entertainement than this years race.
@philipcraig6230 2 роки тому
Last weekend's race was good because the leading cars and the midfield are close together. The reason the 2019 GP was so boring was because the Mercedes cars were so much better that year. However, I think the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans would be a far better venue. It would need some upgrades to meet FIA Grade 1 criteria and perhaps some track modifications to make it longer, but it's a historic venue with strong motorsport heritage. Imagine an F1 season with Monza, Spa, Silverstone and Le Mans! Any upgrades to the Bugatti circuit, however, should not include the removal of the iconic Dunlop Arch. Donington Park has already lost its arch and is lesser for it.

While the last race at Paul Ricard was a good one, it still needs to follow Albert Park (Australia) and Yas Marina (Abu Dhabi) by changing the layout, even with next years cars that are supposedly going to make it easier for drivers to follow others.

Don't go straight to turns 3 - 7, instead go right to, what is called on the track site "T21". Just look at it (0:15)! Nice, 110° right, with a heavy breaking zone, with potential to overshoot, leading to 70° right, than 110° mild left right chicane. Seems like a good overtaking spot. To make that work, instead of tightest variant of 1 and 2, go for the smoothest, so that 1 and 2 don't spread out the cars like in Barcelona, and let the DRS zone bring them back together after sector 3. Than just left the chicane as it is, because it might not be ideal, but it still a moderately good overtaking opportunity, and BOOM! You got a good track, with one good overtaking place, and additional moderate one. Also. For the people saying "bring the gravel, so they be punished": did you see, what this red strips do to the tires? One contact and you have to pit, so for me it's a decent punishment.

@ELSTERLING 2 роки тому
Yeah, I'd love to see it but it's simply too long of a track to be feasible. The race would be only 23 - 24 laps long meaning a 2 lap safety car deployment would eat up almost 10% of the running distance. Also, if an accident happened in the first four corners we might be left waiting for four to five minutes at VSC speeds just for the leaders to come back around and meet the SC. As it is IIRC the 24 Hours has to use multiple safety cars for different parts of the track. Add to that the issues of getting an adequate number of marshals, the right medical vehicle response times and so forth that F1 requires would be hugely complicated. The icing on the cake is that TV coverage would be messy at bare minimum because it's extremely hard to have and to direct enough cameras to span the track and there's definitely threat of the perpetual issue of Monaco, Le Mans coverage and as used to happen with French GP coverage at Magny Cours where there's an independent French team directing it all that, A - Isn't particularly good, and B - Spends a suspiciously long time focusing only on the French entries even if they're not doing much or particularly competitive.

Paul ricard is a circuit that brings out the best of a tight championship. Its conditions reduce safety cars and accidents while allowing for good overtaking. The result is a circuit that rewards strategy and race craft in a tight contest. One problem I think we have though is we've had years of Mercedes dominance. What makes a great circuit during a dominant era is the opposite, more safety cars and incidents tightening the pack up to get some good racing. Where we should be careful though is wanting just this. Because then when things are tights like now its ends up turning who wins into semi random chance. We all would have lost out on so much last week if a crash had caused a safety car near the end. The nature of Paul ricard being safe allowed redbull to use the strategy they did. It will be a circuit thats hated in dominant eras and a favourite and competitive ones as a result

I think France is still a bad track, but with the new regulations, I’m looking forward to the French gp coming up this weekend. If the race is still bad, here’s what you can do. Make turns 1 and 2 flat and then turn 3 or L’Hotel starts a lot earlier and it’s a lot sharper. Turn 8 is a lot sharper as well to make it a better overtaking opportunity. Sharpen off turn 11 to create an overtaking opportunity. There is a different layout before turn 12, so let’s use that. Instead of going to turn 13, go straight and make a very fast chicane to make it challenging for the drivers. This will surely improve qualifying and practice. Every change to the circuit are about sharpening corners and making them faster.

It also explains why the layout F1 uses there doesn't allow for a lot of overtaking and isn't that great compared to other, purposely build F1 racing tracks. And it actually isn't really the layout that causes the biggest issue, it's those enormous (and quite psychedelic) run off areas leaving a huge margin for error and not punishing drivers enough for going over the limit. My first improvement would be to replace all those run off areas with gravel all the way up to the kerbs, that'll make the breaking zones a lot more interesting and eliminates the issues with track limits.

Mid-race sprinklers would be awesome!

Wait till after next year's race. With the supposedly better ability to follow making overtaking more common (in theory), it might turn out more races like last week's. If not, _then_ go all out to change things. Magny Cours is a terrific motorcycle race track. It's crap for anything on 4 wheels bigger than a kart. The Bugatti circuit isn't a great deal better. Some argue that it's not that good for bikes, but they held the 24 hr race there, and they keep returning to it... It's got some interesting parts, including elevation change, which is sadly missing from PR. It might be worth a one-off try out. As they run Moto GP there (or did, TBH, I haven't been able to see it in years. Thanks BT Sport. Not!), it shouldn't be far off F1 spec. The facilities are good enough for the WEC 24 Hours, so it's just a matter of a few circuit upgrades. Though I wouldn't accept any changes which could make it more dangerous for bikers. They need every ounce of protection possible. Bringing other, older and more interesting tracks up to snuff would be a great idea IMHO.

Flatout back straight Baku style would be sick

Barriers or gravel traps would be a plus.

The race might be even better next year, what with the 2022 rules aiming to make following other cars much easier.

Why not, after putting Dijon up to grade 1 specifications, replace it's turn 7 with a 90-degree left turn that precedes a sort of right-turning turn 7 that only turns half as much, before another 90-degree turn to the left that leads up to a new Parabolica? It adds 3 corners and you could extend the start-finish straight back to accommodate it. That could make it longer, and the forest around there could be easily cleared for it. You could also make turn 11 (or turn 14 with my previous suggestion) a left turn rather than a right one before another hairpin that turns it back around to an elongated straight before turn 12 (or 16).

The main issue with Paul Ricard is the lack of elevation, and so many huge runoffs that makes the track very wide and confusing (I know its for safety reasons but at least add some barrier to make it less wide) Or at least paint the runoffs with solid colors instead of lines

5:34 is a brilliant joke

I'm curious how the new cars will affect the racing. They may not get narrower so Monaco will still be a procession but they'll get shorter and (hopefully) better at following

I think we should upgrade the Paul Ricard circuit the way Ripley advised in Aliens: "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.... it's the only way."

3:23 you get lap times barely over a minute in qualifying at Austria.

The dislike of DRS is a fallacy. The problem with DRS is they’re generally placed too late on the straights. But as a solution vs the problem of not being able to follow in corners it’s actually doing a great job. Also I think the problem with Paul Ric is the lack of elevation more than anything else. The layout itself is pretty good. Let me put it this way: no one would say anything but good thing about it had it had elevations. Sadly that fix isn’t available.

I think we could use the many different layouts and have drivers do a joker lap

How to improve the French GP: move the race to Mangy Cours. How to improve the Spanish GP: move the race to Toro Romo The Russian and Abu Dhabi GP’s have just (potentially) fixed themselves. Please keep Istanbul and Imola on the calendar and re-add Kymalyi and Sepeg as well. Hopefully the Hoi Min Chin race will eventually go ahead cause the circuit looks completely amazing for a street circuit. Wish the Arabian and Miami races didn’t go ahead cause those circuits look absolutely horrendous.
