Assetto Corsa Grand Prix Karting version of Albert Park 2022 layout (update 2024)
2024 Update version 3.01
All GPK tracks for the FSGP 2024 season will get an update (and will go to version 3.0). This year we introduce pit stops in every FSGP race. So we took a close look at every pit exit and in case it was not safe enough we changed it into a safer pit exit.
All trees and lights have an update for better looking and better FPS.
Special thanks to @Ofitus21 and @zuno toto for doing all the hard work for these 2024 updates.
FSGP 2024
During every Formula 1 weekend in 2024 we organize a FSGP race in the MAD Formula MFT02 on the GPK version of the Formula 1 circuit. The start of this championship is on Saturday 2 March. Information can be found at simracing.gp Formula Student community.
In 2024 we introduce pit stops in every race!
The Track
It was the classic opening of the F1 season for a long time but we had to mis it for a couple of years. And now Albert Park is back again with a fast 2022 layout. Technically it's a street circuit, but the layout could just as easily have been a permanent one, with slow corners, very fast corners and a great natural flow.
Grand Prix Karting
Grand Prix Karting tracks are F1 tracks with the layout of the original F1 track but the size, look and feel of real world karttracks. No big runoff areas, but modern wide kerbs, pit not on the infield but on the outside of the track, and a pitbuilding which is also a grandstand. These tracks are not a resized conversion of existing tracks but scratch build. Not laser scanned (because they are fiction) but handmade, which was a bit of a challenge with some tracks with a lot of elevation in the track and the terrain surrounding the track.
The Assetto Corsa GPK tracks are dedicated for Formula Student and the rFactor GPK tracks are dedicated for karting.
