Best Assetto Corsa track mods
Assetto Corsa ships with a small selection of official circuits, but the community has built thousands more — from Tokyo highway networks to Scottish mountain roads. This guide covers the most downloaded tracks and how to install them with Content Manager.
What are Assetto Corsa track mods?
Assetto Corsa track mods are community-made circuits and roads that extend the game beyond its official venue list. They are distributed as archives — ZIP or RAR files — containing track geometry, textures and configuration, and install automatically when dragged onto Content Manager. The modding community has produced thousands of tracks ranging from precise laser-scanned recreations of real circuits to fictional point-to-point roads built from scratch. Many of the most popular online servers run entirely on community tracks, making them effectively essential for online play.

How do I install track mods in Assetto Corsa?
Installing a track mod with Content Manager takes about two minutes:
- Download the track archive from overtake.gg or the project's official page.
- With Content Manager open, drag the archive onto the CM window.
- Content Manager extracts the files and places them in the correct folder automatically.
- The track appears in the Tracks tab and in Quick Drive session setup.
If the track does not appear after installation, it may use a non-standard archive
structure. Open the ZIP manually and look for a folder containing a ui
subfolder and .ai or .kn5 files — that is the track root.
Drag that inner folder into assettocorsa\content\tracks directly.

Where to download more Assetto Corsa tracks safely
The safest and most comprehensive sources for Assetto Corsa tracks are:
- overtake.gg — the largest community hub for free AC content. Filter by "Tracks" and sort by downloads or rating to find the most popular releases. All major community tracks are listed here.
- Project Discord servers — large mods like Shutoko Revival Project maintain their own Discord servers with the latest official releases. These are the authoritative source for actively developed mods.

Avoid any site that bundles tracks with an installer executable, requires surveys or account creation to download, or charges for content listed as free elsewhere.
Assetto Corsa track mods — common questions
Where do I download Assetto Corsa track mods?
The main source for free Assetto Corsa track mods is overtake.gg (formerly RaceDepartment) — the largest community hub for AC content. Specific large projects such as Shutoko Revival Project and Highlands Extended also publish from their own websites or Discord servers; always prefer the primary source over mirrors. Avoid any site that requires a survey or payment for content listed as free, as those are a well-known distribution point for tampered files.
How do I install track mods in Assetto Corsa?
To install a track mod in Assetto Corsa using Content Manager: download the mod archive — usually a ZIP or RAR file — from overtake.gg or the official project page. With Content Manager open, drag the archive directly onto the Content Manager window. Content Manager identifies it as a track, extracts the files and places them in the correct assettocorsa\content\tracks folder automatically. The track then appears in the Tracks tab and in Quick Drive. For step-by-step detail, see the full mod installation guide.
What is Shutoko Revival Project?
Shutoko Revival Project (SRP) is a free Assetto Corsa track mod that recreates the C1 loop and Metropolitan Expressway system in and around Tokyo. It is the most downloaded track mod ever created for Assetto Corsa and forms the basis of most popular online traffic and cruise servers. The mod supports traffic cars, features multiple weather conditions through Pure and Sol, and is maintained by a dedicated development team. It is downloaded from the project's official Discord or overtake.gg — not from any unofficial mirror.
What are the best track mods for drifting in Assetto Corsa?
The best Assetto Corsa track mods for drifting are Highlands Extended (long sweeping corners with good run-off), Akagi (mountain pass curves from Initial D), Ebisu Circuit (dedicated drift venue with multiple layouts), and various touge passes available on overtake.gg. Online drift servers typically use these tracks alongside a custom track list — joining any public drift server in Content Manager's server browser will show you which tracks the local AC community uses most.
How large are Assetto Corsa track mods?
Assetto Corsa track mod sizes vary significantly. Simple circuit conversions can be as small as 50–200 MB. Detailed recreations of real circuits such as Nürburgring or Spa-Francorchamps typically run 400 MB to 1.5 GB. Large open-world or multi-layout road mods such as Shutoko Revival Project can exceed 3 GB. Total storage for a well-stocked AC track library commonly reaches 30–80 GB. Content Manager shows installed track size in the Tracks tab.
Can I use custom tracks on online servers in Assetto Corsa?
Yes. In Assetto Corsa, all players connecting to an online server must have the same track installed as the server is running. Content Manager's server browser shows which track and car pack a server requires. If you do not have the track, some servers support automatic content download — Content Manager handles this automatically when you try to join. For tracks without auto-download, you must manually install the correct version of the track from the same source as the server operator used.
