all right so I'm heading down
streets of Monaco to do a lap of the circuit
obviously the circuit is not set up but the roads still there so we're going to
go and do a lap the famous Monaco Grand Prix circuit after they go through this
tunnel
never gets old
sports exhaust worth every penny
all right
I mentioned in a recent video
about doing the circuit doing a one-lap of the Formula One circuit. Now to the
eagle-eyed of you will know that this is the same day so I filmed it anyway
whether or not you're interested in it I wasn't sure but I wanted to do for
myself before we left so
all right this is actually the starting line and you can actually see the marks
on the road where the cars where the cars line up which is awesome
there's some speed bumps here as well which obviously they take out but this
is a start so we're off
obviously I'm not going to be reaching the same speeds today
even even if I wanted to I couldn't
okay into the first corner slowest car in front of me
anyway now go up the hill it's amazing it doesn't show you it doesn't do it
justice when you watch it on
television quite how steep this hill is
okay this is the messene I believe it's pronounced I'm gonna butcher some
some French words now so if you're
watching any French I apologize in advance
okay we're heading into the Casino Square
the police are out in force
there is a lot of stuff blocked off in here right now
and when they formula one cars come around here they come they go the other way around
this
now heading down towards
towards Fairmont
or the Grand Hotel
this is known as the slowest corner in Formula 1 this is where Kimi räikkönen
famously got his car stuck and had to put it into reverse to get it out
heading towards Portier this is the famous tunnel I keep saying famous but it's all famous isn't it
you can still see some of the rumble strips as well which left in
all year long there's a ferocious speed limit in this tunnel
I'm not gonna go crazy
so the Formula 1 cars now are flat-out as they come around this bend
it's quite a severe corner as well
they come out into the light
and they fly down towards the chicane
Nouvelle chicane is just here, obviously it's put in for the race it's not here right now
over here you can see er there's a lot of work going on, a lot of construction
so the cars will be hurtling down here, 150 miles an hour
right along the sea front or along the marina
there's a corner here which is the Formula one cars don't hit this corner
they come straight down here
just beggars belief that these cars are doing these speeds on these roads , it's incredible
lot of construction going on right now in Monaco but they are doing it in the off season
a lot quieter than it normally would be the speed up speed bumps here as well
I hope to come back and actually do this when all the barriers are up
okay we're heading towards Rascasse
of course Rascasse many an incident although one of the most famous I can think of
was when in qualifying Michael Schumacher just parked his car
on the corner and to prevent anybody else from doing a better time
Rascasse right now so tight it's unbelievable this is where they they would turn right
here to go into the pit starting straight
it's incredible to think the speeds that these guys get up to
these cars on such a narrow road you could probably just about get two cars
passing each other on a road this wide, they take out all of this
the section here which is for parking that's all gone so but you know it's
incredible to think that these cars is just so wide that they can go down these
roads and yet like I said you can see the lines on the road where the cars
line ups when they start the race it's incredible
and that's it, that's one lap of the formula 1 circuit
