[1.1] Hakone Turnpike 2025

Hakone Turnpike 2025 - Assetto Corsa track mod

This is a PC mod created for the video game Assetto Corsa.

UPDATE 1.1 - 13/03/2025

Increased the pits from 30 to 40 for Downhill Time Attack layouts.
Fixed an issue where some Time Attack barrier collision meshes would appear visible when they should be invisible.
Fixed an issue where a certain Time Attack barrier was noticeably smaller than the ones next to it.

INFO

The mod development began in 2019, but the real development started in 2021. I cannot begin to explain all the work that was done or even estimate the time spent working on this track.

As always, this project has been an expression of passion. Many things have been done more than once and the roads have been a source of a lot of setbacks. Adding ‘final touches’ ended up taking a lot longer than expected, over a year in fact! Naturally in this type of hobby, you think you are nearly done and then you find multiple more things to do.

The aim has always been quality and real world accuracy, so if there was something that needed to be done, it would be given immediate attention. It has (finally) reached a point where there shouldn't be anything more to add, at least without unnecessary delay… Of course, do get in contact if you have found any issues. I’m happy to say new additions to this track were done with licensed assets or were simply labelled freeuse.

Also feel free to rename/delete the Sakura trees file (turnpike_sakura.kn5) if they seem to stand out too much. Turns out it's impossible to source or create Sakura tree models that aren't densely packed pink types with trunks that are way too thick.
Alternatively you can use the summer Sakura skin which changes the textures from the early blossom to the summer leaves if you prefer.

Please note: Any issues found out of bounds/outside of the main driving roads can be ignored since this track mod does not include random intrusive barriers.

The release version was made with Custom Shaders Patch 0.2.7-preview1, Pure Gamma and C13AEGIS 1.89 post processing filter.

LAYOUTS

This track comes in 10 layouts which start with: Uphill, Downhill and Online/Freeroam but each with different configurations. The main Uphill/Downhill layouts each come with Time Attack layouts with road barriers and then all layouts mentioned come with a ‘No Lights’ layout, since the Turnpike toll road does not feature streetlights in real life.

The Downhill layouts have 30 pits, Uphill layouts have 40 and Online/Freeroam has 56 all at the observation deck.
The Online/Freeroam layouts also have extra collision for the side roads and the town at the bottom.

Downhill + No lights (30 pits + 8 Race start positions),
Uphill + No lights (40 pits + 8 Race start positions),
Downhill Time Attack + No lights (30 pits),
Uphill Time Attack + No lights (40 pits),
Online + No lights (56 pits).

Please note: This does not come with AI support, traffic, or track cameras.
If you are experienced, by all means do make and share your own.
