It takes so many hours setting up these games, the PC, the Wheels and pedals... Emree you are my heroine for your effort. It makes kicking your butt in GT7 feel wrong, but I need the game credits. Anyways, thanks for all of your effort. You are the best.
idk why and this isn't a diss, but Emree always sounds like she just remembered the funniest joke at work but cant laugh cause she's presenting the meeting
Riverside and Rouen-Les-Essarts are two of my favourite tracks and i would love to add Bridgehampton to the list as well. Imo these historic tracks (and cars) are of huge importance i sims. There is just no ther way to jump into a time capsule and experience these places.
Fun fact: the tow trucks that are allowed to go into Nordschleife during tourist days (to rescue broken down or crashed cars) will then leave the cars at Sudschleife - they have a repair shop there! Don't ask how I know...
Ah no crashing haha. Engine death, a few corners before mini-carousel. Amusingly, the car behind also died at the exact same time - we helped each other push our cars to safety behind the barrier. 2x combo towtruck to sudschleife!! 😅
I had my first real life race in Pukekohe. Think I finished 5th. Pre chicane days. In my 2nd race I crashed and it hurts in real life 😂. Blasting down the back straight at nearly 300kmph and braking for the hairpin was some buzz. As was turn 1 which was quite often dusty from the horses crossing the track to the horses track on the infield.
Sudshleife in AMS2, & all the FatAlfie mods in AC are amazing! Slightly different idea, but there’s a Mariokart track in RF2 which is crazy fun in older cars (I was trying the McLaren M23 there, bonkers!)
Thanks for turning me on to Potrero de los Funes! I checked out some other vids, one from the GT1 championship and that track is insane! I must play it.
Didn’t know Oran Park was out of business… sad… Here in Brazil there is a couple of tracks that are closed and only available at sim racing: - Curitiba, the track that featured in Race 07 and AMS 1 and 2; - Old Interlagos layout, AMS 1 and 2 and mods for most sims; - Brasilia from AMS 1 and 2 - we are told every year that it would be reopen after some work… but that day never comes…
some other notables on iRacing: - Concord Speedway (my home track :'( - now a Copart junkyard) - Irwindale (closing down & being turned into warehouses after next month) - Phoenix's infield road course (removed in renovations) - USA International Speedway (now a PepsiCo warehouse) - Wild West Motorsports Park of course they have Pukehoke, Rockingham UK (granted it's just closed so never say never!) and the old oval at Mosport scanned as well
If I know right, the Surfers Paradise track actually was originally from TOCA Race Driver 3, and it may holds the record for the track with the most number of conversions for different games.
I actually do miss the OG Hockinhim. I first experienced it through a GT racing game back in the early 2000s. I can't remember the game's name for the life of me, but it was one of the last sims where I've seen the Porsche 911 GT1 actually featured in that I can recall right off hand.
I should note, there's another sim that supports an officially liscensed version of Rockingham speedway UK anr that's live for speed which has a laser scanned version of the track. With the implementation of official mod support it's cool to race modern cars like GT3's around there. Very underrated sim imo.
Classic tracks presented with enthusiasm. This is great. Thanks! Nurburgring Sudschleife and Potrero de los Funes Circuit look good. I didn't realise Oran Park had closed. I love tracks with bridges like that. Thomson Road is by Fat Alfie and he has done a lot of fantastic classic tracks that don't exist anymore.
I remember driving Rouen in F1 Legends. Portrero was a old school style of circuit in the sense that it had a long lap of over 4 miles and had a public roads feel about it. I remember watching the FIA GT1 World Championship races there on eurosport.
Old track layouts are plenty as well, you touched on Hockenheim and the Nürburgring but I'd add variants like 60s Monza with the banked corners, 30s-60s Spa and the old "Österreichring" with the Westschleife.
Valencia triggered some nostalgia on me. Alonso delivered there one of the best performances I've ever seen in my 20 years watching F1. I think he even lapped his own teammate on pure pace that race. Also we've seen there one of the most historic events of F1: Maldonado crashing with Hamilton without Pastor being the one to blame haha
Jacarepagua, Sudschleife, Auto Club and old Hockenheim are all in AMS2 as well. Along with other old tracks, eg historic Spa (technically ‘lost’). And some AMS2 mods have these tracks too (eg Rouen).
Believe it or not, there was actually a dedicated circuit in Surfers Paradise before the street circuit even existed, but it was shut down in the late 80s and redeveloped into an estate. Too bad there isn't a scrap of the track left.
There’s a laser scanned version of Rockingham in LFS :) it was their first (and so far only) real world track :) If iRacing asks nicely (and pays a ton of money probably) they could maybe get the data from the LFS devs…
also with oran park, a lot of tha roads that were the track are named after supercars legends
День тому
Standard girlfriend - angry shouting: "Are you playing with that stupid cars again?" This girl as girlfriend - excited: "Hey I just found great new mode for Assetto!"
A track I wish was real but is only in sim is sakitto in project cars 2. very much a suzuka clone. but I like the layout sooo much more. feels even more flowy
Part of the rouen layout is now lost to nature - I visited it in 2019 but had to walk through vegetation and trees to be able to reach the old main straight!
Is there a red line in this 21 pick? Or just random personal choices? As a track hunter since as a kid in the 70ies and going bonkers and berzerk when sim racing and track mods emerged some +25 years ago, Would be overwhelming if I had to make a personal list of deceased racing tracks. And especially if I was asked for a personal preference. Since when I go to the history books and jump in the sim seat, new favorites from the past very often get. "But name just one". No, then I will betray my other hundreds of favorites. Impossible.
Great video with great insight for each track, even though the video was in a quick hit style format. Only thing I disagree with, Baltimore was awful, glad it's gone, lol. Two favorites I'd add to this list... Westwood Motorsport Park (BC, Canada... used to host Formula Atlantic and Trans-Am among others) and Circuit du Mas du Clos (France... a small club circuit, but upon further reading this one has actually some what recently reopened in 2022, after was closed in 2010)

Hahahaha 😂
Which corner was THE one? :D
Ah no crashing haha. Engine death, a few corners before mini-carousel. Amusingly, the car behind also died at the exact same time - we helped each other push our cars to safety behind the barrier. 2x combo towtruck to sudschleife!! 😅
"I'm sure pastor Maldonado crashed here" is a good probability for every track he's raced on.
I remember watching that race live on TV.

Longford for AC is one of the best. And all the other lost road tracks from the same author as Thomson Rd.

When entering Berlin on the highway there is still the Mercedes Building and the old grandstand.
some other notables on iRacing:
- Concord Speedway (my home track :'( - now a Copart junkyard)
- Irwindale (closing down & being turned into warehouses after next month)
- Phoenix's infield road course (removed in renovations)
- USA International Speedway (now a PepsiCo warehouse)
- Wild West Motorsports Park
of course they have Pukehoke, Rockingham UK (granted it's just closed so never say never!) and the old oval at Mosport scanned as well
Amaroo Park Raceway, Longford, Wellington... *sigh* So many race circuits now long gone.
If I know right, the Surfers Paradise track actually was originally from TOCA Race Driver 3, and it may holds the record for the track with the most number of conversions for different games.
Sendai Hi-Land was also fondly remembered as the climatic set piece for the 1995 Jackie Chan film Thunderbolt

Brazilian here... Jacarepagua pronunciation was perfect!
Classic tracks presented with enthusiasm. This is great. Thanks!
Nurburgring Sudschleife and Potrero de los Funes Circuit look good. I didn't realise Oran Park had closed. I love tracks with bridges like that.
Thomson Road is by Fat Alfie and he has done a lot of fantastic classic tracks that don't exist anymore.
Came here to pay respects to the tracks that were lost in media and time.
I remember driving Rouen in F1 Legends. Portrero was a old school style of circuit in the sense that it had a long lap of over 4 miles and had a public roads feel about it. I remember watching the FIA GT1 World Championship races there on eurosport.
I also love the old Kyalami layout in South Africa and drive it often in AMS2. Still prefer it to the new
Old track layouts are plenty as well, you touched on Hockenheim and the Nürburgring but I'd add variants like 60s Monza with the banked corners, 30s-60s Spa and the old "Österreichring" with the Westschleife.
Curitiba also deserves a mention, hosted wtcc and had 2 layouts, a road course and an almost oval, stock car brazi races there generaly were great
Yes, Race 07 classic one!
You forgot Longford in tassie rendered in RF2
I love your pronounciation of Rouen-les-Essart :)
@4:30 Jacarepagua is best.. all turns are perfect circles..
Great video!! 💯
Valencia triggered some nostalgia on me. Alonso delivered there one of the best performances I've ever seen in my 20 years watching F1. I think he even lapped his own teammate on pure pace that race.

Bridgehampton Raceway in New York was closed back in 1999 and it is still living in Assetto Corsa, Overtake does have the mod for it.
Jacarepagua, Sudschleife, Auto Club and old Hockenheim are all in AMS2 as well. Along with other old tracks, eg historic Spa (technically ‘lost’). And some AMS2 mods have these tracks too (eg Rouen).
Curitiba in Brazil
Believe it or not, there was actually a dedicated circuit in Surfers Paradise before the street circuit even existed, but it was shut down in the late 80s and redeveloped into an estate. Too bad there isn't a scrap of the track left.
This video is such a good idea! Thank you
04:33 Brazilian here. You pronounce "Jacarepaguá" correctly
Well done 😉
The Rock is definitely on iracing, right now its running fixed indycar on the oval
Bridgehampton! so much fun!
There’s a laser scanned version of Rockingham in LFS :) it was their first (and so far only) real world track :) If iRacing asks nicely (and pays a ton of money probably) they could maybe get the data from the LFS devs…
also with oran park, a lot of tha roads that were the track are named after supercars legends
Standard girlfriend - angry shouting: "Are you playing with that stupid cars again?"
This girl as girlfriend - excited: "Hey I just found great new mode for Assetto!"
There is still endurance racing at Nordschleife.
Adria International Raceway still having races. 😂
A track I wish was real but is only in sim is sakitto in project cars 2. very much a suzuka clone. but I like the layout sooo much more. feels even more flowy
Rouen is kinda still there as regular roads but there is a new autoroute cutting off the northern part of the old track.
Part of the rouen layout is now lost to nature - I visited it in 2019 but had to walk through vegetation and trees to be able to reach the old main straight!
Rockingham was hurting my eyes then you are used to the Laserscannend Version in LfS.
Maybe Irenting can buy the scan for little money.
If I'm not wrong they scanned Rockingham (UK) around 2013-14, but just canned it for good for no know reason.
Is there a red line in this 21 pick? Or just random personal choices?
As a track hunter since as a kid in the 70ies and going bonkers and berzerk when sim racing and track mods emerged some +25 years ago,

Since when I go to the history books and jump in the sim seat, new favorites from the past very often get. "But name just one". No, then I will betray my other hundreds of favorites. Impossible.
We started with a Top 7 first and it turned out there were too many interesting ones and ofc there are WAY more 😁 -Michel
RIP Irwindale && Auto Club (Pls someone buy Willow Springs)
Old Spa?
Great video with great insight for each track, even though the video was in a quick hit style format. Only thing I disagree with, Baltimore was awful, glad it's gone, lol. Two favorites I'd add to this list...

Another track that will disappear is Irwindale.
You forgot PUKEKOHE
4:02 ? :)
Pukekohe :c
