Hello! In this new video we look at the history of crash barriers and other solutions to stop cars flying off the track. We see why straw bales and catch fences were banned and why you can't beat a good tyre wall.

This is an early video for Patreon with the video not going public until tomorrow.

Thanks so much for your support!

F1 has come a long way over 7 decades in putting safe, effective barriers between the track and its surroundings. From straw bales, to armco to tyre barriers we look at the good design and terrible problems with barrier solutions used over the years. ------------------ Please do support these videos on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chainbearf1 Twitter: http://twitter.com/chainbearf1 Writing / Illustration / Animation / Editing / Narration: Stuart Taylor http://www.chainbear.me sharecode: chainbearsharef1
