Giant Bombcast Alt+F1 Track Walk: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

oh, the Gilles Doutweeb track? I love that circuit!

also yay! another track walk!

Jacques Villeneuve: better driver than singer.

@clipeuh: Oh god.

I have only seen two races on this track... but those were some of the best F1 races I have seen. So it's my favorite track now, can't wait !

Also, I love how Danny pronounces Villeneuve. So disgusted. Like he stole his wallet or something. "That asshole Villeneuve !"

I love these videos! SPEEDY RACE CARES VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOoooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............

Does anyone have a video of the crash and or the "rotund" marshal falling over repeatedly? Thanks!

Great stuff you guys!!

Strangely enough Pastor did hit the wall - before becoming champion...of GP2 :)

Giant Bomb is weird.

Pastor Maldonado has never finished the Canadian Grand Prix :P

I'm going to be there, first GP ever!

Fan footage of last years craziness.

@hammondoftexas:

Kubica's crash @ canada is number 15

Drew is good at racing games!

I came here to see if Danny would correct his Gilles Villeneuve mistake. I'm glad that was cleared up in a matter of seconds!

@s_westervelt: BWAHAHAHAHA!!! OK, OK, OK, no seriously, somebody please explain the story of what the hell happened to Buemi. The wheels just came off his car down the straight? That shit made me laugh out loud, hard.

@edgecrusher: That was toro roso trying out a new suspension setup. As soon as he stood on the brakes it transferred the load to the front suspension. It failed on one side and instantly transferred all the cars front end load onto the other side.....

No bueno... so the other side fails immediately as well. Carbon fiber suspension is amazing but it does not take cross compression loads well. The reason the wheels escaped is the tethers are tied into the suspension.... No suspension no tethers.

@s_westervelt: Amazing. But isn't that the sort of thing a computer could tell you? It seems ill advised to send your young talent out there with an experimental setup that just happens to fail it's first real world brake test.

Results:

Drew Scanlon: 9th - 2 pts

Danny O'Dwyer: DSQ

Standings after six races:

Danny O'Dwyer: 55 pts

Drew Scanlon: 40 pts

One DQ each!

Might actually watch this race!

@dprotp: Ah yes, the mayor of Montreal, who went on to develop Inca for the CD-i!

Zero AIDS.

@hammondoftexas: Here you go

Love this circuit and the racing it can produce, time to put in some laps tonight before FP1 I think.

Danny and Drew really need to do some kind of crazy 24 hour race during a charity stream or something :P

when will danny not mention project cars in a track walk? who knows

Last years race was a super weird one. Cant wait for the race weekend.

"Let's so what Pastor can do in the race." Well, he'll probably manage some kind of crash.

This please! In iRacing or PCars, and members sign up and race against them :D

Oh man, that looked like it got disturbingly close to that really grotesque accident in 1977 (don't look it up, it's fucking disgusting).

Look forward to the Montreal GP every year. There's always interesting first corner drama.

Crazy start to the 1998 Montreal GP

I love these. Now I'm ready for Sunday!

@fisk0: I read about that accident I think you're talking about a while ago. It's so horrific that it would be comical if it was fictitious.

@fisk0: Oh god, I looked it up. Fuck :(
