Tight-twisting streets force you to run millimetres from the walls; this is the Baltimore Grand Prix circuit for Assetto Corsa.
The 2013 Grand Prix of Baltimore, the third running of the race, was held on September 1, 2013. The streets of Baltimore, Maryland hosted the sixteenth round of the 2013 IndyCar series and would be the final time the championship would visit this amazing street circuit.
Race highlights of the 2013 Grand Prix of Baltimore
The last running of this great event was interrupted by six cautions, five of which took place between laps 41 and 65. Simon Pagenaud was able to take the lead towards the end of the race and hold off Josef Newgarden to win with a four-second advantage, that being only the second victory of the year for the Frenchman.
Baltimore's famous hairpin bend
The circuit works flawlessly in both Hotlap and Time Attack modes. However, the real challenge is in the AI Races. The AI are competitive in qualifying, as mentioned in the features section, however, they are still only as good as Assetto Corsa AI can be when racing wheel to wheel which is unfortunately mediocre. This is no fault of Rainmaker_87.
The bumpy layout that is set as default provides an unexpected level of challenge. There are lots of design features and additions that are similar to Rainmaker_87's previous circuit, the 1998 version of the Houston street circuit, but one aspect that really stands out is the kerbs on the chicane.
The steep kerbs launch your car into the air if you are too greedy.
The quality of the Baltimore circuit is as you come to expect with Rainmaker's work. The track is difficult to learn but once you start to link the sectors together, it is some of the most fun you can have in Assetto Corsa. Make sure to download the circuit here on OverTake.gg.
