About the Track

Circuit Thermalito is a 5.035km fictional temporary race track based on a real life location, using the actual roads surrounding the Thermalito Dam in Oroville, California. Winding its way between the walls along the water's edge, and through two tunnels in the dam itself, Circuit Thermalito features high speed elevation changes, sweeping banked corners and slow speed technical sections which all come together to create an incredibly challenging, yet hugely rewarding, driving experience.

Originally made by DDF Racer (https://www.youtube.com/ddfracer) using limited satellite data 15 years ago for rFactor, Circuit Thermalito has been completely rebuilt from scratch to modern standards in stunning detail by Nukedrop. Crowdfunded on Kickstarter by the DDF Racer YouTube community and using hi resolution laser scan data, drone footage and countless photographs of the area, Circuit Thermalito is now available to download for free for Assetto Corsa.

Due to the drastic elevation changes, this track may not be suitable for AI Races against some of the top tier open wheel race cars.

Features:
3D grass, 3D trees, full RainFX, full night lighting, AI, 44 grid sllots.

Please see the config.ini if you wish to use 2D trees instead of 3D trees to save performance.

Requirements:
As usual, CSP and Content Manager ARE REQUIRED.

A very nice track. It kept me drive on it with several cars all night long. A very great work. Thank you very much !
I haven't tried many fictional tracks, but oh boy this one is the best atm. Great idea to take some real place and turn it into a circuit! If more did this, we would have many crazy good tracks like this, maybe.
If I only had one track, this would be enough to keep me happy for a long, long time.
What?? It was free??
Just a beautiful piece of work.
Thank you so much!!!!!!
Extraordinary!Thank you very much.
I really love the track, it has amazing detail but just because of that i cant get more than 25 fps, while i get stable 60 fps with other tracks made by you. Would be 5 stars with better optimisation.
THANK YOU!
