Thruxton for Assetto Corsa

What this mod does

Thruxton is the Hampshire circuit known as the fastest in the UK: long flat-out corners and a final chicane that punishes any mistake. James Skinner built it from scratch for Assetto Corsa, and in version 2.0 he redid the layout and elevation with LiDAR data.

What’s included

• Current circuit layout with its final chicane, reinforced in 2.02 with a tire stack to prevent cutting.
• Grid and pits expanded to 32 cars in 2.0, enough for packed races against the AI or on a server.
• CSP config files for Grass FX, dynamic flags and Rain FX.
• Detailed surroundings: the author thanks several contributors for reference photos and data.

Requirements and compatibility

It installs like any track with Content Manager. The author strongly recommends having Custom Shaders Patch’s Grass FX enabled, but doesn’t specify a minimum CSP version. It’s free and downloads from the author’s page on OverTake.gg.

Known issues

One user reports that the track map doesn’t follow the car properly. In older versions some laps didn’t count at the final chicane, something the author gradually fixed. The same author separately releases a nineties version.

Requirements

• Assetto Corsa (Steam)
• Content Manager recommended
• Custom Shaders Patch recommended (Grass FX); the author doesn't specify a particular CSP version
• No DLC needed

How to install it

1. Open the track page on OverTake.gg and log in (the account is free).
2. Click "Download" and save the file.
3. Drag the downloaded file into the Content Manager window and click "Install"; if you'd rather do it manually, extract the folder to assettocorsa/content/tracks.
4. Enable Grass FX in the CSP settings if you want 3D grass.
5. Pick Thruxton in Content Manager and hit the track.
