一位粉丝在F1宣布与非洲签订长达十年的赛事协议后，仅用72小时就在Assetto Corsa模拟器中重现了卢旺达的拟议F1赛道。
Motorsport文化超越赛道本身。车手生活方式、时尚、旅行、设计和那些让赛车运动不仅仅是一项运动的故事。
在F1宣布与非洲签订长达十年的赛事协议后，一位用户制作的赛道内摄像头记录的视频开始在网络上流传，展示了卢旺达未来大奖赛赛道的场景。
这是从驾驶舱内对赛道感受的有趣一瞥，但它只是基于F1迄今为止发布的单一预览图像的业余爱好者的最佳猜测，并非真实布局。所以请记住这一点。
修改者名为Nukedrop，西班牙F1账号Nachez在X上发布了这段视频。屏幕录制视频获得了大约695个赞，吸引了41,000名观众，最初在Reddit的Formula1版块出现。
Nukedrop在YouTube的描述中提到，这个修改是在“过去24小时左右”内创建的。他通过将F1渲染背景中的机场与卫星图像匹配来放置赛道，然后使用了周围景观的真实海拔数据。这个模拟使用了一辆涂有当前红白车身的法拉利，车号为44 - 汉密尔顿的赛车 - 七届冠军的黄色头盔在屏幕底部刚刚露出，它在桥下穿行并跨越了多彩的赛道边缘。
Tyrone Hesbrook以Nukedrop的别名在Assetto Corsa社区中确立了自己作为一位杰出的赛道创作者的地位，他之前的作品包括派克峰和独立设计的赛道，如Circuit Thermalito。
不要把它与其他粉丝的努力混淆。Romeo Gagliotti的“Rwanda International Circuit”模组是一个虚构的5.3公里顺时针布局，TC Esports在F1 25游戏中发布了非官方版本。
Nukedrop的赛道长度仅为4.65公里——比官方设计师描述的大约6公里布局短了1.35公里。官方赛道将有17个弯道，并逆时针行驶。完整的布局尚未公布，Nukedrop承认他的版本涉及“大量关于比例、海拔和隐藏细节的推测”。
海拔甚至更难以理解。Wurz计算出的圈数为197米的垂直海拔上升，而粉丝制作的版本在整个赛道上大约有70米的海拔变化。这些不是相同的测量，所以两者都可以是正确的：赛道可以总共上升197米，但底部到顶部的跨度只有70米。
WurzDesign与Tilke Engineering合作，在基加利以南大约40公里的Bugesera开发赛道，靠近一个预计将于2028年开放的机场。赛道蜿蜒穿过高地地形，穿过湖边区域，拥有倾斜的弯道，并包含一条超过1公里的高速直道，直道将在一个旨在促进超车的紧弯道结束。
车臣·蒂尔克表示，坡度达到12-13%，而沃兹将结果称为“像过山车一样，真正独特”。
沃兹已经通过模拟完成了无数圈，而且虚拟赛道也由活跃的一级方程式车手进行了测试。这与一个基于新闻渲染图的修改者进行的研究标准略有不同，尽管粉丝版本先到，Nukedrop的Patreon支持者已经可以下载了。
由于第一场比赛要到2030年代初才举行，我们将猜测多年。在完整布局发布之前，Assetto Corsa中的法拉利将是大多数我们能接触到的最接近的东西。

F1 fan brings Rwanda's future grand prix circuit to life in "Assetto Corsa" simulation
A fan has recreated Rwanda's proposed Formula 1 circuit in Assetto Corsa just days after the historic grand prix announcement
Motorsport culture beyond the track. Driver lifestyle, fashion, travel, design and the stories that make racing more than a sport.
Within 72 hours of Formula 1 revealing a decade-long deal to race in Africa, footage from a user-created onboard camera recording of Rwanda’s future grand prix venue began circulating online.
It’s a fun look at what the track could feel like from the cockpit, but it’s a hobbyist’s best guess created from the single preview image F1 has released so far, not the real layout. So bear that in mind.
The modder is Nukedrop, and Spanish F1 account Nachez spread the clip on X. The screen recording accumulated approximately 695 likes and reached 41,000 viewers, having initially surfaced in the Formula1 section of Reddit.
The mod, created within the Assetto Corsa game, was built in “the last 24 or so hours”, according to Nukedrop’s YouTube description. He placed the circuit by matching the airport in the background of F1’s render to satellite imagery, then used real elevation data for the surrounding landscape. The simulation uses a Ferrari bearing its current red-and-white livery and the number 44 - Hamilton’s car - with the seven-time champion’s yellow helmet just poking out at the bottom of the screen as it navigates beneath a bridge and across multi-hued track kerbing.
Tyrone Hesbrook, using the Nukedrop alias, has established himself as a prominent circuit creator in the Assetto Corsa community, with previous work spanning Pikes Peak and independently designed tracks including Circuit Thermalito.
Don’t confuse it with the other fan efforts. Romeo Gagliotti’s “Rwanda International Circuit” mod is a fictional 5.3km clockwise layout, and TC Esports has posted an unofficial version in the F1 25 game.
Nukedrop’s track measures just 4.65km - about 1.35km short of the roughly 6km layout the official designers describe. The official circuit will have 17 corners and run anti-clockwise. The full layout is yet to be published, and Nukedrop admits his version involves “plenty of educated guesses about scale, elevation and details hidden from view”.
Elevation is even trickier to understand. Wurz has calculated the lap to involve 197m of vertical elevation gain, whereas the fan-built version accounts for roughly 70m of altitude variation across the circuit. Those aren’t the same measurement, so both can be right: a track can climb 197m in total yet only span 70m from bottom to top.
WurzDesign, collaborating with Tilke Engineering, is developing the circuit in Bugesera, roughly 40km south of Kigali near an airport that is due to open in 2028. The track weaves through elevated terrain, runs through a lakeside section, features cambered corners, and contains a high-speed straight exceeding 1km that will end in a tight corner meant to facilitate passing.
Carsten Tilke says gradients reach 12-13%, and Wurz calls the result “like a roller coaster and truly unique”.
Wurz has completed numerous laps through simulation, and the virtual layout has been tested by active F1 drivers as well. That’s a slightly different standard of research from a modder working off a press render, though the fan version arrived first, and Nukedrop’s Patreon supporters can already download it.
With the first race not due until the early 2030s, we’ll be speculating for years. Until the full layout is released, a Ferrari in Assetto Corsa is as close as most of us will get.
