After the implementation of the Orchard Road Street Circuit in late 2023, Rennsport looks set to add another track already available as an Assetto Corsa mod. A Tweet hints at Magarigawa Club coming to the sim.
Despite its initial esports focus, Rennsport also showed a tendency to include unique tracks relatively early on - such as the Goodwood Hillclimb or the figure 8 meme track in summer of 2023. More recently, the fictional Orchard Road Street Circuit set in Singapore - a community-created track - had been added to the sim in December. Originally, the circuit is an Assetto Corsa mod, which was then brought to Rennsport with the help of original creators @legionofracers.
Now, Rennsport reposted a Tweet about the Magarigawa Club circuit in Japan, using emojis to hint at the track possibly being added. Interestingly, the original Tweet is from late March - so Rennsport is not exactly adding to a hot conversation currently taking place.
In case you are wondering about the track and have never heard of it, do not worry - it has only been opened in 2023 and is, as the name suggests, purely a club circuit. Designed by Tilke Engineers & Architects who also created several F1 tracks, the circuit is located to the Southeast of Tokio, with its layout being far from a typical 'Tilkedrome'.
It is part of the namesake Magarigawa Club and allows members to take their favorite track day toys to the circuit. Naturally, this makes it a rather exclusive affair - at least in real life. In the virtual space, you can try it already.
In Assetto Corsa, that is. Magarigawa is available as a mod here on OverTake. The track found in our download section actually comes from the club itself, having been used for construction simulation according to the uploaders. Hence, it does come with interesting features such as the track's indoor pitlane or access roads that let you explore more of the club.
The AC version of the track is quite resource-heavy due to the large number of trackside objects and dense vegetation - it will be interesting to see how this translates to Rennsport, as the sim is not exactly known for being the most hardware-friendly title out there.
Of course, that is if they do indeed base their version of Magarigawa Club off of that available for Assetto Corsa - but with the mod version for the latter being created by the actual club itself, it would make sense to go down that route.

Japanese Mini Nordschleife
In fact, it has been dubbed a 'Mini Nordschleife' in the media when it opened. But rather than an Eifel-lookalike, the tracks surroundings look more like something straight out of the Gran Turismo games: Nestled into a natural valley, there are lots of steep hillsides, woods and, of course, elevation changes galore. The track features both fast and medium-speed technical sections.It is part of the namesake Magarigawa Club and allows members to take their favorite track day toys to the circuit.
