Assetto Corsa has a secret touge road, and it’s probably the most underrated in the game.
Most of you have probably have it downloaded, but only a fraction have driven it.
It's a tight, narrow road, that snakes it’s way up a gargantuan mountain . It features towns, Hairpins, camber, forests and elevation changes, the lot.. So, why does nobody talk about it?
Steeped in rich history, it's host to one of the longest ongoing motoring events in the world. Founded in 1925, it has bared witness to the vast evolution of hillclimb as a sport, and the exponentially increasing capabilities of the monstors that drive it.
Clocking in at almost 11 miles long, this hillclimb has been described as "absurdly dramatic", and It's easy to see why.
Have you driven this road before? If not, don't worry, most people haven't. But I can almost guarantee you've seen the name "Trento Bondone" in your Assetto Corsa modlist at some point. Perhaps you even remarked that you dont remember downloading it, like me, before making this video. Well there's a good reason for that.
Kunos actually put this into the game themselves, all the way back in 2014. You can forgive yourself for not knowing, because unmodded Assetto Corsa is just a circuit racing sim right? Well, it was clearly intended to be a hillclimb simulator too… or was it?
By today's standards, 9 years on, its pretty ugly - and looks like something an amateur modder would create. And that’s because it essentially is a mod that kunos themselves made. There are no high quality textures or furniture that we’re used to seeing on their circuits. And in fact, it looks worse than every single modern hillclimb, made by singular modders, for free.. With sparse details, and a lack of care and attention to the small details, it’s a far cry from the circuits and touges we drive that feel like the real location. As a whole, Trento Bondone feels wholly unfinished, sure it’s still driveable, but it doesn’t strike me as a track that would ship with the game, more like an amateur third party addon. And From an Italian developer that has a keen attention to detail, you might be asking yourself, why this is the case.
NETKAR PRO. If you’re an avid Kunos enjoyer, you’ll this name. Released in 2006, this sim was predecessor to Assetto. It’s clear that it was a test bed. It has a barebones, and quite frankly poor UI, even for Kunos, and yes, it’s even worse than the Assetto Corsa’s default menus somehow. The physics weren’t bad for the time, and you can definitely see how Assetto’s an evolution, not just a Lancer. But, by today’s standards they feel almost arcade like. The car seemingly drives on rails, until it decides you need to start oversteering, in a similar way that iracing does. Which is interesting, as they were released around the same time. Yet strangely, NetKar feels dated, but iRacing is revered as one of the most realistic simulations on the market. Strange. Anyway, we’re getting sidetracked.
Despite all of this, the forcefeedback is surprisingly detailed too for such an old game. In fact, I get better tyre feel out of nKpro than Assetto.
All in all, it isn’t bad a bad simulator, even by todays standards. I mean, hell, people are still playing Grand Prix Legends which was released in 1998. It’s a surprise NetKar wasn’t more popular at the time. However, it did only ship with a handful of cars and tracks, and the modding scene didn’t add much more.
So perhaps NetKar wasn’t the best simulator. But what it was, was a perfect lesson for Kunos. They needed more content in their games, whether that be through their own creation, or their community. And they definitely heeded their own advice. Assetto Corsa shipped with more than enough content. With a wealth of original, laser scanned circuits. A heap of high quality cars. The ability for modding, which revolutionised the game was played. And of course, a single hillclimb. Trento Bondone.
But, truth be told, Assetto Corsa’s Trento was neither high quality, nor was

How do people not know this map? This is one of my regular maps. Very fun to drive.
It's pc only :(
I've been driving on this Italian road ever since I got Assetto back in 2017. Still one of my favourites.
Forreal
I never knew anyone else drove this track, it has the most hours out of any. For a sheer driving experience it is really good honestly, the graphics aren’t good but the feel is great.
A nicely done track skin would do this one wonders. Especially if it implemented the 3D trees from Shaders Patch.
Damn I am so lucky to live like 25km away from that road in real life, truly a fun road to tackle. To this day I managed to make it to the top a couple of times with my mom's renault twingo but It would be a lot more fun with a proper sports car, maybe in the future if I'll have the chance to buy one... Until then, I have to stick with the sim version.
Thanks for covering this track it surely needs the attention of more people, maybe one day someone will make a remastered version to fix the issues you talked about in the video.
definitely one of my favorite maps, pretty challenging to get a clean run, but its a lot of fun
i got a 4:50 here on the kunos stock rx-7 fd
"it's hairpins connected by straights similar to akina"
irohazaka : allow me to introduce myself
Totally not me logging ludicrous amounts of hours into vanilla assetto corsa with a gamepad. NA Miata plus this track is a dream
In 2022 the Italian Drifting Championship oneorganized a special drift event there (a real one, not on the sim)
My very first experience with this track was Ferrari 512 at night, very few time with CSP and SOL at the time...
Wanted a road driving experience, and I suffered all the way to the top hahaha
Before knowing how to download mods for the game , this was my go to track
Thx for introducing me to this track. I had no idea it existed! Im using drift cars for it and am yet to try it out!
This is an old track i used to drive in before i discovered csp and lots of shiny mods. Probably one of the reason this is forgotten about, is because of the mass being more interested towards tracks like SRP and japanese touges with JDM cars, or even real life circuits with race cars. This is a fun track to do hillclimb runs, that's for sure.
This is the first map I drove on, and I was so ecstatic at the diverse turns and on the nose reaction times needed to maintain control.
I love hot wheels acceleracers and highway 35 so I desired a hefty road to test my driving skills before I drive irl. Later today I'll drive on this road haha.
Your editing is absolutely insane every time. So damn watchable! BRB going to drive Trento Bondone 😂
The transition thoo 4:03
Very surprised what you said about Netkar Pro's physics, at least with regards to oversteer. Not sure about NKP's hillclimb prototype-style car but vehicle behaviour/action/reaction during oversteer with open-wheel NKP cars like the F2000 and F3 are, along with Live For Speed's, by far the most realistic, controllable, and natural in the industry. AC's oversteer is great when it comes to road cars and drift cars but it's in the middle of the pack when it comes to racecars (with iRacing and rFactor-engined-based games being the worst).
as soon as i saw the firs hairpin i knew it was trento bondone, this is my testing ground to setup my cars for touge
😂😂😂 I’m laughing because I was looking for a hill climb track last week, and I had this the whole time.
I used to drive this track all the time when first playing assetto, what a nostalgic track...
finally someone covered this beautiful road
When I saw this course a long time ago, I noticed it was a hillclimb and my natural conclusion was that I downloaded Pikes Peak and forgot about it. didn't realize till now it was a separate but real road
in Netkar Pro i drove almost only this track and almost only in Abarth 500
loved netkar pro, used to play it a lot back in the days. Grew up with GTR2 and then netkar pro up until i could get a pc that ran assetto
The big lacks of details is really good for me because I can't play on this map with my potato pc in a decent amount of fps so Im happy that it doesn't have good details
Can I just say, your editing is god tier, Every video you make looks amazing
The Porsche 962C plus Trento is actually one of my favorite in all on sim racing
trento was the second map I played while starting to learn how to use and mod ac last year
This the first map I used to test the first car mod i installed :) (it was a 2020 Supra)
LOL, I remember buying netKar Pro just for the beta access to Assetto Corsa.
I wonder if that license still works today.
Since it's the only hillclimb in unmodded AC, I really thought it was a mod lol. I usually download a bunch of mods at the time, not one by one so I thought it was "Some touge from an Initial D episode that I forgot"
It was where i first drove in assetto corsa, i learned much with it. And then i started going to the circuits and they felt a bit blend sometimes, so now im trying to see other hillclimb maps. Problem is i play with mouse steering and im not the biggest fan of it but welp it is what it is
i thought everyone started on this and then discovered mods and switched up like crazy
THE TRANSITIONS WENT HARD!!!!!!!!!!
What is that windows 95 startup sound remix tho
Trento is actually one of my favorite maps in ac
this was the first map i played when i played on pc
no one talks about it because there's no downhill version me thinks.
Trento Bondone is the only touge I am halfway decent at
The best thing you can do is get the snow version of trento-bondone and drift all the way to the top
I like it for slower cars either way pretty cool map kinda annoying how tight it is
I love this track. Found it fairly early when I started playing AC. For me it is timed. Don't know what is the reason that you can time it.
It’s real life hillclimb track and that’s why it’s timed.
I played Netkar when it was just NETKAR...Pro wasn't a thing yet.
loving the increase in video quality every bloody time idk how you do it
Man pulled out all the stops with the editing and transitions today, I can't complain though
People like to choke the game with crap mods before even experiencing the absolute gems of vanilla content the game has
Pretty much the only track I drive ac AC (beautiful in VR) ❤
i was scrolling through maps in hopes i can find a twisty one... i found this and its like my go-to pretty much every time (though not easy with controller)
I love Trento, i always use it as a warmup before i do something else.
I love this track! took DMO's lambo up it!
Dude this has been my favorite track since I got assetto :]]
Loved the video! What editing software do you use?
The fact this isnt on consoles is a crime considering we can't mod in our own touge
Why hasn't anyone made a downhill version of this yet?
are we gonna just ignore that beautiful flip at 3:16?
The second fav orignal map of mine. The first one is def Nurburging n
I feel like this map needs a rework by some modders. It's defenitely a great one but just needs a new freshness
Now wish I had a semi-ok PC. Have a Series X, but it’s locked bc console :(. Wish that Assetto had console mod support like Snow Runners.
Those retro shots are 🔥🔥🔥
I drove this hill climb in a ford F450 AC mod
Man these edits are insane
Love sliding some BMWs up this road. I always use it to warm up!
i saw it in the maps and thought it was a touge i downloaded but i will try it out
I drove this road and it was hell 😭
I've been playing it since i started playing assetto corsa and i love it.
Fun to play touge..it's been there since I brought the game lol
I have, took me about 22minutes first time. Its great but I only have a controller so it gets frustrating quickly
Edit: i never got sent back down so in any case you could also do it as a downhill
is the hill climb map available in ps4 assetto? or are there any hillclimb in assetto?
we need a downhill layout
I live in Trento and I do drive both real life and assetto corsa😜
I drove this it was so much fun i used a civic reborn type r
7:33 yes I have
What’s the track u showed @1:46
Yea they really fucked over console by not throwing this in, it would actually bring something different to the base console version
my fav vanilla map!!
Subscribed because of the wall reminder.
Does anyone know the track used at @4:50? Thanks
All of these problems could be solved by using AC manager
Lol this is also the most popular practice on my asseto corsa as well its so good.
This map need more pit!
When I first bought assetto I loved trento bondo! I had no idea haha. I would play all the downhill togue maps i could find.
Wait, some of you guys never knew about Trento Bondone?
Awd cars are great on this road
I have noticed a pattern on your thumbnails once again, I noticed you like to play with patterns
if something performs well i'm going to milk it dry
@@TSRB Rockstar Games liked your comment
In this episode of JDM weebs discovering that old historic racetracks and hillclimbs reambles togues
i love this map my record is 14:37 min (i was drunk when i hit my record) ik my record is to bad but im new in sim racing XD i did my record with drift supra the orange one XD
btw this map is 17 km
Can i play it on console or not?
Why should I subscribe if I've beening watching all of your new videos from my ytb home page ? (anyway i still love your subscribe plug within the map )
is it on ps4 ?
its a very fun map
I wonder why tsrb hate akina 👀
Anyone know what track was shown at 1:47?
glava zete
@@TSRB thank you! Looks like a really fun track
I activate my trap card, NetKar Pro.
This map on console?!
How’s this a secret given it’s one of tracks included in the game initially?And i suggest watching onboard racing footage from this one as it’s really amazing.
I hate it with a passion, that's why.
how we can get it
buy assetto corsa on pc
Tf man i’m from Trento 🤯
I swear even if the texure, building, road and nature all over the place is still recognizable
i recoment the s1 quatro on it , its the first thing i did in assetto
🔥
