F1 2023 Old Laguna Seca | Logan Sargeant Onboard | Assetto Corsa

Here's an F1 onboard lap at the old Laguna Seca circuit that was used between 1957-1987, remaining almost identical throughout that time period. Running at 3.058 km (1.900 mi), the track has always been notable for its downhill plunging "Corkscrew" turn, one of the most recognisable turns in the world. Nowadays, the circuit features IndyCar and IMSA races in the modern layout.
This Formula 1 hotlap is driven in Assetto Corsa with Logan Sargeant in the F1 2023 Williams FW45.

Old circuits fell always like curved dragstrips with 3 deathtraps as turns, racing has changed a lot

[@francyszz3]

that last curve is a killing one!

[@W123KartSport]

Did you know that before being a race track. the Laguna road was a military base where soldiers would learn how the affectionately known deuce and a half (2.5 tonne) Army truck. Driving UP the Corkscrew without stalling was one of the final tests.

[@demon666pro]

So strange to see Laguna Seca in old version. Looks like many tracks in same years - many smooth turns

[@christaincarvalho]

If you try to race an old car on one of those old tracks, it makes way more sense. The race cars of that time were way slower, had terrible brakes and almost no traction compared to today's cars, so any slight curve you would easily do flatout in any car today, with those old ones you would've to lift off the accelerator or even brake so it doesn't end up sliding off the track.
When you race on a track from the 60's with a modern F1 car, you always end up missing some of the complexity that the races had back in the day.

Doesn't feel like LS…
Corkscrew: Hello there.
Yep, this is LS.

[@not_kawai_ruka]

Video: Uses Logan Sargeant and shows a graphic at the start that reads, "Length: 3.058 km."

My brain: WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETERRRRRRRR 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔫🔫🔫🔫🦅🦅🦅🦅?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!

[@plantfeeder6677]

Well I've got a grin a mile wide.
Thanks you mitsos for that very familiar blast from the past. By the mid-sixties things started to get less cluttered around the track and Armco barriers started springing up.
As is well known the track was expanded not for auto racing but to meet the FIM requirements in track length to bring the U.S.MotoGP to LS.

I would LOVE to see F1 at Laguna Seca. Sadly that won't happen for a lot of reasons.

[@baburaoganpatraoapte3029]

for a second i was wondering "maybe he could have got the vegetation right, then i read the title and it said old laguna seca, and it caught me off guard"

[@karolgyore7082]

You actually drove quite well there!👍

[@Mitsos1311]

That’s quite rare 😂

[@SpeedimusPrime2006]

Older Tracks I Feel Like Are Longer Than There Current Layout.

[@leslieloud17]

And quicker

[@volatilelion657]

this time older Laguna Seca is 600m shorter though. The part after turn 1 had a hole punched into it and the last two turns were moved a little futher from the start/finish line (other changes made like turn 4 of this layout made sharper or the pitlane moved to the inside don't really change its length)

[@angelbeerleader13]

The most impressive thinknis the green grass around the track Haha.

[@Mynamic_Delon_5654]

Your driving style is fantastic its like Max Verstappen

[@pollemar]

Even crazier than the modern layout.

[@Sagitariosun1776]

I did not know Laguna Seca old track. Extremely fast.

[@mistashadow]

I'm surprised Gran Turismo never had this layout (though I'm surprised this exists), but then I have no idea if the road is still there

[@pollemar]

Google maps: Road called "Old Track Area" 🙂

[@lordracer7743]

this is a very pretty track.

[@tHebUm18]

Having no idea what the old layout was and not looking at the track map yet, felt obliged to tense up a little with how fast the car was being thrown into the hairpin at the start of the lap.

[@mattlikesf1977]

love how hes still 18th 😂

[@NordStreamRacing]

Where does so much grass come from? This track has always been surrounded by dunes and sand.

[@kosths_mlmt]

My question is, would Laguna Seca be a good track for F1 races?

[@LaurynasSFM]

The American Hockenheimring

[@periklaskyriakidis6064]

Weirdest thing I've seen today. So different to today. Feels like Mosport maybe

[@alvarogaldames4259]

Awesome, use The Beranovac Circuit in Serbia Lewis Hamilton's Onboard Lap.

[@joshualayfield768]

You gotta do Baltimore GP, preferably in a Mike Hawthorne's Ferrari.

[@samturpie1756]

If it weren’t for the corkscrew I don’t think I would be able to tell which part of the track is which 😂

[@miscellaneoussarnian5282]

the fact that F1 and the 2011 IndyCar finale weren't held here pisses me off

[@SpeedimusPrime2006]

For Indycar In 2011 It Could Happen But, Most aus Knew What Happened With Indycar That Year After Las Vegas.

[@formulanova12]

So basically part of the track is skipped with a shortcut, pit lane on the right rather than left, and some minor track changes here and there. Of course it’s greener due to climate change

[@KepleroGT]

It's green during the winter when it rains. It's not climate change

[@formulanova12]

@@KepleroGT Oh ok
