Hey y'all!

I’m releasing the first public alpha of Ronin Pass, a dedicated Touge road for Assetto Corsa EVO based on mountain roads in Japan. The community helped choose the name, and I’m happy to finally share it with you. With the track also comes a dedicated Touge Toyota AE86 model. You can see it in the video below. Enjoy!

This first version includes:
- Around 8 km of mountain road, with tight hairpins, flowing corners and elevation changes.
- Downhill and Uphill layouts, each with eight spawn positions. That makes it multiplayer compatible, and I have my own server running with it: Hina's Touge Club - Ronin Pass Downhill
- Replay cameras, mini-maps and start/finish timing.
- Forested mountains, roadside details and several recreated points of interest, including parking areas, shops and picnic spots.

I’ve used satellite imagery, Japanese official roads documentation, and Street View references to capture the area’s character. This is a reproduction rather than a laser-scanned track. However you'll find that I've done quite some work with the surfaces, changes in camber, elevation, tightness, etc.

This is v0.1a—an early public alpha. There’s still room for improvement, and I’d love feedback on how it drives, how it runs on your hardware, and anything that looks or behaves incorrectly.

This is not a conversion, all the assets, surfaces, road physics are built for AC Evo, or pulled directly from AC Evo's library.

Please note that there are still a LOT of visual artifacts, and that the performance pass has just been done to target around 60fps on good computers (32gb ram, RTX4080+). I will release a performance pass as soon as my schedule allows it, I promise! (yes I do want to be able to run it in VR with a smooth 90fps as well...)

Also, the track limits are quite harsh at the moment, I will also improve this in the next update.

It's a simple .exe to run. Note that the current installer does not support soft-links, this is something I'm working on as well, and will retrofit to the Yard, the drift park.

You may encounter a Windows or Anti-virus warning as I currently don't have the funds to pay for a certificate (plus I trust that Kunos will soon give us an easier way to install track mods so this is temporary). I'm very sorry about that, it is up to you to trust me on this!

There's also a Dedicated Server version for people who want to host the track on their dedicated servers. If you don't intend to host a server, don't bother with it.
