Ignoring the obviously bent fence next to the locked gate where definitely no one trespasses into the old grandstands....

[fkez]

how to tell that a youtuber doesn't do abandoned videos:
*they don't climb over fences into restricted ares*

Aston Martion license plate KVI8? K-vi-eight? Kyviat?


Hmmm.. tin foil hat mode enganged!

This is killer, you guys are seriously upping the quality of content here. i'd subscribe a second time if I could, much love from across the pond.

This is a really good series, a lot of historical interest, I'd love to see more.
I would like to submit suggestions for some (probably unlikely) locations for the future -
Aintree, British Grand Prix
Zandvoort, Dutch Grand Prix
Valencia Street Circuit, Spain
(really unlikely) Buddh International, Delhi, India.

Could you visit Keimola before its gone.

Its a track located just outside Helsinki Finland that was closed due to noise complaints... and now there's a motorway next to it.

Edit: the observation tower is going to stay and some parts of the track are turned into normal roads.

Edit 2: it wasn't used in F1 races but some famous F1 drivers did race there.
For example Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Keke Rosberg, Mika Häkkinen and Mika Salo.

Actually I’m very happy for an old abandoned building that I doesn’t have horrible tags everywhere. Good job whoever decided to preserve this marvelous place !

[andrewcook]

Valencia, Imola, Zolder, Magny-Cours, Aintree would all be good tracks to visit! Love this series though waited ages for this

Awesome video! Very professional made without loosing its WTF1 „from fans for fans“ - touch. It’s the right balance between professional and loose so it feels very natural and not „forced“. It was very great to watch and really interesting, well done! :)

A few for more episodes:
Brands Hatch, Great Britain
Estoril, Portugal
Watkins Glen, United States
Valencia Street Circuit, Spain
Imola, San Marino, Italy
Korean International Circuit, South Korea
Istanbul Park, Turkey
Buddh International Circuit, India.
I know at some of this tracks are still using with MotoGP and stuff but these would be cool places

Waited far too long for this. Please make the next one a lot sooner. The potential to be the best series on YouTube. 👍👍👍👍

The Aston Martin Vantage has got WTF1 Orange trim!

[julianski]

Matt when will F1 Youtuber Championship return?

[Arthurzeiro]

Rory managed to get some really nice shots, very creative and soothing angles, great work mate.

[LatvianBrasher]

The cave is where Verstappen was supposed to be locked in when he takes somebody out of the track.

It's too bad this series hasn't continued, I find this stuff fascinating.

I had the chance to visit it last summer and it was a great experience. It is "possible" to get up those sketchy stairs and seat on the grandstands but you have to climb the wall on the right at 6:33 to get there, but for me it was worth the little risk as the view from up there is amazing.

[mozilla]

This is the first of your videos that i have was funny and fascinating at the same time. ''Am i gonna get shot?'' ....since you weren't in Texas....I think you were pretty safe.
Great work!

[aldored]

you should go to imola and pay respects to senna and roland ratsburger
