Super Serious Track Guides | Losail International Circuit (Assetto Corsa)

They signed a ten-year deal to race at a track that doesn’t exist yet, and Albert Park needed replacing… So where do you go in the meantime?

An even better-looking version of the track for AC was published when I'd already completed production... I've posted the link to that in the description as well, if you'd like to experience pain x2

[@flightlessdutchman6698]

And when the world needed him the most, he returned

[@mazu_005]

when losail’s Sector 2 consists of a corner leading into another corner, then leading into another corner and another corner. peak track design

[@rehannoor4961]

well it challenging with a bike tho

[@pjludda4323]

1:20 I believe the more technical term is a "Sweeping Fucker" (or a Carousel, I forget which)

[@karelpgbr]

Yeah

[@cat_03tv]

Naaaah, for a carousel it does not go around enough, a carousel is more than 180 degrees

[@nert-13]

Imagine Rhys's suprise if the shark tooth kerbs were tearing up his car as he traveled on the exit. He dies before turn 6

[@samiraperi467]

Speaking of memes, second gear hairpins are TIGHT!

[@godofdefeat]

Thanks for making my morning much better

[@wendigockel]

I guess Losail is a prime example of desert tracks with more runoff than character. As is Bahrain. And Utah. And Dubai.

[@completeepicness5070]

What’s the problem with Utah?

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

@@completeepicness5070 Let's be real here. Utah Motorsports Campus is far from the best of America's contingent of racing circuits. It's flat as a pancake, dustier than the tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh, and not actually all that fast.

[@wendigockel]

@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 Yes. The only redeeming factor of Utah Motorsports Park (apart from the rallycross stuff, which doesn't matter to the layout) is turns 1-4. The rest is boring follow-around. If you want a good Desert Circuit for a change, look no further than Willow Springs' Big Willow. That track looks like a time capsule back to the 1960's and it's fast, flowing and challenging. It's too dangerous (and too empty) for big-league racing though.

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

@@wendigockel FUCK.... I've been wondering for ages why such a well-known track is so often forgotten. Your comment just made me remember the insane high speeds it encourages. Last turn is literally a 120 mph corner in a Gr.4 car in GT Sport. Still, I bet GRIDLIFE is willing to give it a shot...

[@completeepicness5070]

@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 far from the best, but far from the worst. A C-tier offering.

[@DjDolHaus86]

More of a fencing nail than a hairpin

[@leo1fun]

Thanks for capturing exactly what I feel about this track. And endless loop of the same corner.

[@adammiller011]

Return Of The King!

[@DobieMeltfire]

I swear I seen an improved complete version of Losail somewhere in AC modding forums. Great video!

[@NiHi557]

By god I missed this, thanks for the release mate

[@psychlops924]

This track is actually really good for MotoGP. I think it ended up being fine for F1 too

[@Majigitajog]

YYYYYeeeeaaaassss hahaha. Cool feature on Jimmy's 23 hour Zolder haha, you were hilarious

[@jomi568]

Thanks SouthPawRacer, i needed the laugh this morning 😂

[@toadeightyfive]

thank you for continuing to make these, they're fantastic. fastest click on a video of my life.

[@adcoaliveirl]

Love these track guides❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mgrzx3367]

I found that absolutely Hilarious. And You are right. Thank You so much. I get drunk too much but I still know when to laugh my ass off. Arigato !

[@KayJblue]

He’s returned, all praise!

[@avus-kw2f213]

0:18 if you’re talking about Dan Andrews or Daniel Ricardo

[@cat_03tv]

Tbf, imo F1 should go to the Circuit Ricardo Tomo in Valencia, if we're talking about going to bike tracks

[@shadowguy128]

3 rules to making a South Paw video 1: Good track model and editing 2: use a modern day car or car used in that era 3: mention second gear hairpin

[@carfan3649]

YES it has returned

[@remor_se7675]

Looks interesting

[@vjollila96]

Turns 4-5 looks like discount Indianapolis motor speedway oval's 1-2 or 3-4 turns

[@wendigockel]

If they had banking, they'd at least be interesting

[@radekszafran1896]

I cannot wait for the review of Saudi Arabian Qiddiya with its 34 corners, where half of them seem soon to cause epilepsy and nosebleed and weltschmerz :3

[@Jp2166]

Wooo!

[@nicholasbradshaw]

The Losail spyrograph totally looks like the Centrelink logo.

[@taylor_mills]

This is hawt

[@peterdaviesracing]

In totally unimportant news, I just noticed Hinssy's name was miss-spelled on the end card, but correct in the sub titles :D

[@SouthPawRacer]

oopsadaisy

[@jmjrulz9482]

Looks like back to back carousels to me.

[@unknownuser8228]

Please do Jerez (Probably with a P34)

[@gt4pacecar889]

FOURTH GEAR HAIRPIN

[@TomatoServal]

Can you do a review of the new Miami GP next for F1?

[@nicolesgaming8917]

6:43 Shade at Jeddah, I presume...? (Speaking of Jeddah, the whole thing with the track pushing it with the completion date being so close to the Grand Prix reminds me of Talladega Superspeedway and Seattle's old Sick's Stadium. I hope they aren't finishing the circuit as fans arrive for the Grand Prix.)

[@NeonColored]

two years late to the party but it was more shade towards the FIFA and how they didn't care even in the slightest that Qatar massively abused workers that built their stadiums for the 2022 football world cup

[@juanindojorgijanad782]

Nice lap around Losail, mate! #F1 #MotoGP #WorldSBK #QatarGP #Losail #Doha #Qatar

[@lowercase.]

christmas came early :)

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

6:21 OH GREAT ANOTHER STREET CIRCUIT. Because we didn't have enough of them, right? 6:35 And then there's that, too. I hate the dilemma this race has put me into. I actually love the fast, flowing nature of this circuit, but with how Qatar has been giving zero fucks about human rights in its quest to get ready for the World Cup, it goes without saying that this is hardly the best choice of country to host a GP. Three cheers for sportswashing!!!

[@MrNotagoodtime]

Now time for jeddah

[@marcostimm2491]

I completely lost it after the infinite loop of Losail 3:15

[@CarlosDeSanta]

Heineken in Qatar 🇶🇦 I’m dead 🤣🤣

[@elmurcis1]

Rich Energy Circuit

[@heliofaros1344]

Starepins....when you stare at the apex for half an hour

[@arthurf1fanoficial460]

If these catar turns are hairpins stambul turn 8 is a hairpin too

[@rhysjones2786]

2:50 Same bro

[@autocircus5968]

It's a hairpin

[@HendrikRust13]

6:20 ...and Hockenheim A TRACK THAT EXSIST is out of the calender... 6:30 they did WHAT?!

[@gabrieledri5710]

4th gear hairpin(?!) pandemic?

[@litreocola6447]

Losail wasn’t designed for f1, but if anything it’s a more enjoyable bahrain that reminds me of a flat hungaroring

[@KLAASTAD]

here while they race in 2023

[@riverdelta7052]

Will you do Jeddah?

[@CountFisco]

Havent watched. How many ducati references are there

[@AdrianBelmonte96]

i guess this is what you get when you order Bahrain on Wish Also, i don't think i'm the first to say this but... do Jeddah next pls

[@SouthPawRacer]

The next SSTG is going to be the Pau street circuit, as decided by my patrons. But Jeddah is on the short list for the future. I want to see it in action IRL first.

[@ScrollsofSombra]

From the future. It was madness

[@randomcommenterheredontmin4390]

"Oh well - with this region’s recent history of using migrant labour in forced, gruelling and deadly working conditions, at least the new track shouldn’t take long to build" Me, a footballing fan: Yes! Indeed! I mean, the stadiums aren't finished according to Wikipedia, but still...

[@j377yb33n]

but don't worry, they'll have air conditioner blimps over the stadium

[@DominikMaslyk]

Wasn’t a fan of Losail during the race, it looks like a more confusing and headache inducing Bahrain. Also the tyre shredding kerbs

[@Denes2005]

0:07 for 2 more weeks

[@jamestye]

SECOND GEAR HAIR PIN

[@djvycious]

A week on and I still lose sleep over David Croft saying CAT-Are. Is Kuh-TARRE that hard to say? Seriously?

[@lucascarvajalkossnar8630]

35th

[@JajaRojas]

So funny thing SouthPaw, so I released a video PARODYING your SSTG series about Qatar And roughly 1 month later I get a video from YOU YOURSELF about the Qatar Circuit. Idk if it's pure coincidence, but I'm kinda suspicious that you MIGHT have stolen my video idea Either way, it's just speculation.

[@DriverScottieC]

“We race as one” pasted on top of an Aramco sign is as disingenuous as Aramco having an “Our approach to sustainability” tab on their site… Oh…

[@eannamcnamara9338]

Don’t fucking tell me they’re gonna build another fucking street circuit. Can’t they just build an alternate layout for Losail or a normal circuit. Anything but another street race.
