Using it makes you feel like you’re thrown back into the 1950s and 1960s, and there’s nothing better than throwing a classic F1 car or GT racer around this picturesque circuit. Both the hillclimb and the actual track have been modelled, but the track is our point of focus here.

It’s a reminder that in the UK, there are some amazing circuits outside of Silverstone.

The racing circuit itself has been done justice, feeling every bit like the real track that thrills us each year in the British Touring Car Championship. This is not an rFactor conversion this is a bespoke track, accurately modelled from the pits to the trackside scenery. Speaking of circuits, the freely available Donington Park on RaceDepartment is one of the most detailed track mods Assetto Corsa has ever seen.

In Assetto Corsa, thanks to RSS, you can experience the new cars a year early.

The sounds are spot on, and the physics accurately represent what was the fastest Formula One car prior to the 2020 Mercedes W11.ĭespite the traction control, you have to be careful: those V10 engines were mighty powerful, and the car can certainly bite. While technically a DLC and not an outright mod, the Kunos F2004 certainly deserves a mention here.
