What this mod does
The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, on Notre-Dame Island in Montreal (Canada), is the track of close walls and heavy braking zones that hosts the Canadian Grand Prix. This version by linolafett was built from scratch for Assetto Corsa and, although it’s still an alpha, it has over 109,000 downloads with a 4.69 out of 5 rating.
What 0.37 includes
- Full layout with 3D grass and a first rubbered-in groove texture.
- Smoothed elevation changes at turns 4 and 5.
- Asphalt friction set to 0.99.
- Very lightweight file, about 82 MB.
What’s missing
The author lists its limitations himself: the AI is a work in progress, so are the skid marks, textures may change, there’s no detailed terrain off the track, crowds and parked vehicles are missing and it has no levels of detail (LOD).
Reviews
Reviews praise how it feels to drive, the asphalt and the grass, and consider it a good representation of the track for practice or racing. Criticism points to empty surroundings, very aggressive curbs, incorrect DRS zones, timing that sometimes fails and an invisible wall after turn 4 that some users run into. It hasn’t been updated since December 2015, so take it for what it is: a playable alpha of a much-wanted track.
