personally Im loving the new tracks, they need more undulating fast turns, not the stale generic tracks
you cant follow other cars through undulating fast turns, which means no overtaking which means boring races
I’d rather one good overtake than a hundred overtakes at the hairpin in Shanghai
@@dmign well let’s see on Sunday
@@dmign just watched the race and um
its actually the reverse that happened
@@dmign turns out u were wrong
Portimao should be a permanent addition to the season IMHO.
Yup. This in my mind is what a gran prex track should be. This and Spa belong on the calander.
This is just as good as super serious track guides. I need more!
And you will GET more!
@@SouthPawRacer hmmmmmmm
Just so people know this track is free on raceroom
5:39 - That corner just says "Try as you might, your titles are worth nothing here. You don't have the *testicular fortitude* to take me flat out."
“One Hamilton goes round the outside”
When you mentioned pastel de nata I audibly gasped. Thank you for this, after you destroyed estoril I was kinda sad but now this video was great, thank you
It shouldn't have taken this disaster of a year to get some actual tracks instead of car parks in counties with human rights issues.
Portimao is what Estoril wants to be when it grows up
I'm Portuguese and all I can say is "f*** Estoril, it's old, outdated"
@@RodrigoroRex epah depois de conduzir lá digo já que a pista é mesmo boa (Tirando a variante, essa parte é pessima) agora a Sequência curva 12 e parabólica é muito fixe e rápida. A orelha também é muito fixe. A curva 2 dependendo do carro pode ou nao ser a fundo e é preciso cojones
@@andremarques7907 Estoril e Catalunya são praticamente a mesma coisa e são os dois aborrecidos. Sim não é mau mas é apenas um circuito que não me interessa. Nunca fui lá mas já experimentei em jogos como Assetto Corsa e Portimão é 1000 vezes melhor
@@RodrigoroRex o asseto corsa tem o estoril? Pensei que so o rfactor tivesse. Tenho que experimentar. Mas olha melhor ainda é pegares num carrito e fazeres um trackday. Pista boa ou má nao interessa. A diversão é a mesma
@@andremarques7907 Não tem, mas Assetto Corsa tem muitos mods na internet. É só pesquisares Assetto Corsa Estoril e deve aparecer um site para fazeres download do mod
Portimao is one of the most beautifully difficult tracks around. Can't wait to see the F1 babies crying for their mommy here...
There's also a mod for Assetto Corsa which is excellently done
I have been one of those people screaming, SCREAMING, for Portimao to get an F1 event because that is what it was built for and yeah, it has had to wait 12 years, and because of a global pandemic, but this is it's time to shine
Plus, it's forecast for heavy rain as well during the race so we might just get a little bit of spice to it as well
I am feel happy now. :)
I knew this track as Algavre for years. But nonetheless I LOVE this track so much. This is one of the 3 go to track with any car in Assetto Corsa. It is wide, it flows, it has tons of elevation changes and it is just incredibly fun. This track is on my top 3 list with Spa and Suzuka.
I think the ride series was my first experience with the Algarve and it’s incredible with a superbike with the the corner complex’s.
4:08 SouthPawRacer embracing his Australian nature
Here after the race, Hamilton still won, but GOD was it a great race!
What part after lap 6 was great??
God loves you! He sent His Son to die for your sins so you could be forgiven and so He can save you from hell and give you life forever with Him in Heaven. He offers this gift to everyone, no matter what you have done. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and be saved! He gives you the ability to have life and enjoy F1! Seek Him before it is too late. May God bless you and your family!
It's great to see you back!
New Series New Rhys it seems but that's a good thing seems like that wormhole gave you time to think about the channel and where it's going. You seem a lot more positive than before so keep this up 😉
And the race proved just how amazing it is
I’m personally really happy with this new direction for videos. As much as I like Super Serious Track Guides (which is a lot) it’s nice to have a break from those and hear Southpaw talk about tracks he enjoys. I feel like this video in particular is one of the better ones on this channel as a whole.
“I’m movin’ up and down side to side like a roller coaster”
Enjoyed this one Rhys
Lovely energy in this video, it seemed like you really enjoyed making it and it’s shone through. Keep it up Rhys!
I really like this track in Project CARS 2. Probably my first real like tussle with it and it looked a bit shift at first through the map but I really like driving it with the GT1 cars.
Waiting to get yelled at in the replies.
2:06 Mmh, Lewis was just on German TV and said he like the track but he hates the tight corners as it cuts the track into parts. But he called it a fun track.
Portimao is love, Portimao is life
2:35 " I wouldnt wanna be squeezed on the inside "
Stroll : I'm gonna ignore that and squeeze everyone
“I wouldn’t want to be squeezed on the inside” *angry lando noises*
this is the first time I heard of this track, but holy cow, I can't believe that there is a modern track out there that rivals beloved classics and easily outclasses terrible redesigns like Fuji.
I actually kind of like the Fuji 2005 GT circuit, had good times on GT4
@@DominikMaslyk ah yes, let's take a unique long sweeping circuit and BOX. BOX BOX. BOX BOX BOX.
Just imagine if the designers knew of a shape other than BOX...
@@CheapskateMotorsports
First of all uh, I’m sorry what?
Secondly, the old circuit (80s layout) was a constant understeer nightmare, of course I drove the bog standard cars instead of the race cars but still.
Finally I like tackling consistent slow corners which why I grew attached to the street circuits in GT4 like Amalfi and Monaco (called Cote d’Azur in-game) also I say consistent cause I hate some slow sections (like bus-stop chicanes) before or during a high-speed section
Well, it's not done by Tielke...
@@WromWrom There are 2 things I’ll never understand anout Tilke.
1. The hate boner for him (Please do not answer that)
But most importantly:
How his surname is pronounced
Like a Pastel de Nata 😂😂😂 . As a Portuguese i died of laugh , ur awesome
Great track then almost every grate on it came off in 2020 and a few in 2021
YESH, Can we change sochi for portimao?
That had some great racing in the mid-field front was the usual and the DRS was way to op
Great video and a fantastic track
Last time I played this was on an xbox360 v8 superstars in a Bentley gt3.. ace track ... ace video buddy too nice chance x
Very fun circuit. With its elevation changes that really stand out, it deserves a permanent spot on the schedule.
Baltimore grand prix is an underrated street circuit, hosted IndyCar and IMSA in 2011-2013.
If Estoril and Catalunya had a kid, it would look like this.
Best circuit ever made hands down.
Hi, SPR !!! Great video. Just one thing: "Autódromo" in Portuguese sounds more like (I'll put capitals in the strong syllable): AuTÓdrumu; "Au" as in "oul", "tó" as in "toddler"; in "drumu" both "u's" sound like the double "o" in "book". Greetings form Portugal.
"It's pronounced Porty-Moo"
- People who can't pronounce Portimao
3:10 the 'Lagos' name comes from the Algarve's town with the same name
Could use some more Second Gear Hairpins™
Always happy to hear the Adelaide circuit referenced, hopefully the Bend will become as legendary
Well done, thank you sir
you should do appaul ricard
This reminds me of the Sstg to Estoril, that was for some reason cut off at the end
Do Simple Sim Computers ship outside of Australia?
Hello, Mat from Simple Sim Computers here, send us a message on Facebook and we will see if we can help you out.
tracks like portimao are the reasons why nobody should judge a track based on its 2d layout.
so many smartasses try to judge a track based on the 2d design whenever a new track comes up ilke the new hanoi f1 track when in reality there is so much more to a track that you have to experience before judging. a 2d layout doesnt tell you elevation changes, it doesnt tell you bumps, it doesnt tell you kerbs.
Let's go for a mildly memorable track tour with a slightly srious showcase
Hey mr southpawracer, I had a little idea for a format that might be interesting: rate my layout. Basically a series where people send fantasy racetracks layouts and you give your opinion about it
I discovered that track because it was one of the free ones on raceroom, and for years I thought it was a track created just for that game like the original Gran Turismo ones. A sper fun rollercoster. Later I learnt that this was really built in the south of portugal and I was mindblown, probably the best modern racetrack we have
Hey! I'm a portuguese motorsport photographer that have been there for a few times already and it looks much like this yes! on that version there is a few mistakes like the torre vip corner that doesn't have any kind of banking and after t4 the track isn't that much wobly i think. Also the corner named lagos doesn't came from that small lake on the track but from the town named lagos near the track! nice video man, really enjoyed it! keep it up buddy!
This seems so stupid, but I never saw you as an F1 fan. Of course it makes complete sense, but due to the content of your usual videos I assumed you were more a GT fan. Glad to see anyway! Great video as usual!
FINALLY an F1 track WITHOUT a bloody CHICANE
Great video, man. Haven't watched one of yours for a while, but always been a fan.
We need MOAR, loved it!
screw nico rosberg, me and the boys watch southpawracer's guides
Why is your hair upside down? 😧
Ayrton Senna back in the days had a house not far from were that track was build.
Your vids always getting better. Good job!!!
Ha. I knew I wasn't crazy for liking this track!
Can you do Istanbul park?
First vid of yours I've watched. Good stuff matey
nice new series
The turns 8-9 complex seem like it would be fun
I loved ur pastel de nata attempt xd (portugues boy here)
Noone's gonna mention the reversing car at 4:18? ;)
Hearing you speak portuguese is the funniest shit i saw
Sepang guide when?
I drove this track in VR. It almost made me sick
Verstappen and Stroll take note from 2:40
I loved wheeling around this track with a Corvette C7.R in Project CARS 2. Looking forward to what this new series has to offer us!
4:17 - Rhys liked the turn so much he came back to drive through it again!
I still think the track layout of Portimao looks like a duck looking over his/her/its shoulder.
Thanks to a 24H endurance event, I slept through nearly the whole GP today bar the last 5 laps. Apparently it wasn't that exiting, but that's the the fault of the track. It would be nice if it returned :)
Just stumbled on this video a week after the race and you got it spot on with your comment on turn 1: "I wouldn't want to be squeezed on the inside"
This was a lot of fun to watch, it's nice to see a break down of why this track was so fun to watch last weekend!
You nailed this video! You've perfectly encapsulated the pleasure you get whilst driving in portimao, you have maintained your signature style and your sponsor is actually relevant to your content!
PC Part Picker From Down Under.
Heck yes
this is spa mixed with catalunya
I like this variation of “super serious track guides.” Here what you like best about different tracks and more is really entertaining to me. I can’t wait to see more!!
And no 2nd gear hairpins! Yay!
Bring back how to ruin a racetrack
I loved this format of reviewing tracks you like, been waiting for you to get on it for ages!
Looking forward to whatever you have planned.
Having just finished watching yesterday's Grand Prix at Portimao, this guide is spot on!
"Pastel de nata". As a portuguese, I admire the comparison. Great content, by the way.
Nice one Rhys, loved to head pop ups at various points. Upside down pop up had me chuckling. 🤘👍👍
and you finally posted lmao
I like that... editing and stuff. content is really informative. nice that you point out your errors while learning this track. i had little ooopsies at the same corners repeatedly.
And look no 2nd gear hairpins
Oh wow we have sponsors? Nice!
This years F1 Calender >> the usual one. Their are some many beautiful tracks this year which makes the races more fun to watch
Slightly serious, but not overly so. Liking the new format.
The racing here was good! The flow through the first sector led to some crazy long battles
I can't wait for the MotoGP bikes to race there. That final corner is going to be fast.
nice track, lets see how they race here today. seems like a track with only one opportunity to get ahead though
Love this new take on a good series, it was wonderful to see that you enjoyed making this video!
Turn 15 looks like the tri oval of the Nascar’s cookie cutter tracks
2:17 Me : Egg tards!
I'm freaking love this track the Sims. 😍
I realized during the time you did the Super Serious Track Guides you never did any Central or Eastern European tracks (Russia doesn’t count) like Brno or Autodrom Most in Czechia, Hungaroring or Pannonia Ring in Hungary also the Salzburgring in Austria is often hella overlooked by it’s older brother as well as Poznan Raceway in my home country of Poland
Either this or a Super Serious Track Guide will do
True. It's been two months and i still can't lap poznan decently (skill issue lol)
I am SO glad that this is one of the free tracks in R3E
