This is EK Nanamagari, a brand new Assetto Corsa Touge Track Mod that is seriously fun. It's almost like someone combined all the greatest features of the most popular touges from Initial D, and mashed them up into one.

I reckon this is the best looking touge mod we've got on Assetto Corsa. Do you agree, or do you know of a more beautiful one? 🤔

[@n3m0_]

whats the background music in this vid

[@brumalogresteer4124]

EK sadamine is equally beautiful.

[@sergiofernandez1384]

This is really beautifull, but I think tsukuba fruits lane looks really good too. I cant decide between those two

[@paperhater4231]

One of the best IMO is Mt. Futatabi. It's really detailed, and very technical. I really don't get why it's not as popular as it should be.

[@fariskajevic7925]

Isnt it just a port from an initial D arcade stage map?

[@epigy7167]

Yeah I'm definitely gonna be teaching myself this one once my replacement wheel comes this week. I get so many different vibes from this course and I think this style is perfect. Personally whenever I'm on a lot of other touges, it feels like I'm taking the same corners over and over again so it's nice to see something that has a good range of high and low speed corners, plus some nice scenery to help with some nice immersion.

[@TSRB]

Yeah it's definitely unique in that regard!

What an amazing touge, but I think the way you presented it was even more impressive. I loved the jokes you threw in, the fact that you went through the entire course giving tips on what I should or shouldn't do, and the flawless editing, keep up the good work :)

[@rascoon]

"Old Nanamagari Road" Tōkaidō in Hakone. Truly beautiful... I've been playing the 90sGDSP version and I have loved this for so long. It's a blessing for drifting! (I'm not a racer) Also, the reason it's 7 and not 13 is because the first 7 hairpins are the ones that were drifted. The rest weren't.

[@Britt4ny]

7 was drifted 80s to early 90s. Mid 90s, they only ran 4 hairpins.

[@sonnenblumenkerne2499]

I love the race that Keisuke had on this road against the guy with the red Z in Initial D. It's a perfect display of Ryosuke's ingenuity and intelligence and Keisuke's skill as a driver.

[@mahiru20ten]

Finally Nanamagari is here. Had some experience racing in this path when playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 (although it only has the consecutive hairpins), glad to see it in AC.

[@jorenreyes6778]

Oooh TXRD2 was so good. Learned so much in that game

[@sergiofernandez1384]

This is a good touge for practicing big rithm changes. Already did a few downhills there and it was really fun!! Good video, continue like this Pd: is better if u try going really slown at first on the last corner before the town, and after that, try going faster slowly. Thats what I do

[@gategaming959]

This the touge where in Initial D 5th stage was foggy it was FD vs Z33 (or 350Z) in uphill and AE86 vs S15 at downhill...!!! I was glad this game added this touge since Initial D didn't show us how good as a touge course this is since they put a fog on it...!!!

Nanamagari is so cool, ive seen hundred of videos from the 80s and 90s with lots of cars and people drifting and vybing in those harpins, the 90s Golden Drift Spot version of the touge was more acurate to the real life road but it wasnt the full one like this one

I love this touge. After I practiced a bit, I must say you summarized very good. Join the touge union server number 2, then you also learn to drive the touge on one lane to avoid guys coming in the opposite direction 😁

Keep up with Euro and Koz they make the best assetto touges. Ive been doing this one for a while and its one of my favorites.

This looks so much fun. I'm totally downloading this!

[@LifeOfFai]

I first encountered this track in Kaido Battle (dry, but fun game on PS2) albeit shorter and only using the Nanamagari portion of the track. Seeing it in full in AC is amazing and really makes me to get the game. But I don't have munneh to buy wheel set *sed noises

[@generalbertoni7495]

That game slaps but shame I never learnt to tune cars properly

[@prohunter717]

@@generalbertoni7495 it's never too late to learn. Go one setting at a time, learning what it does and experimenting to how it effects you with each tweak. Real life explanation videos can also help as this is a simulator. After you get a good grasp of what all the adjustments do, you can tweak your car to your specific style or track depending on what you find lacking or problematic. Guide graphs are also a good way to streamline and simplify this process while you are getting a good idea on the process. Using stock setups are totally fine but even a simple tweak can heavily give you an advantage and allow you to drive more aggressively or differently. Though there's no shame using someone else's tune, you'll still want to add some final touches to make it more suited for yourself. The best part is that your knowledge can be quite easily transferred between other sims and also a bit for real life applications.

[@ChainsawChuck13]

If it's the same game as Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift, that was unfortunately a different road they call Hakone. They did a good job picking very famous, but also very annoying, roads for that game (that particular Hakone, Haruna, Iroha, Front Rokko).

[@Born_Stellar]

I recently went back to assetto corsa because I started seeing touge videos but the only track I could find in game was an italian hillclimb where you start at the bottom. glad to see there are awesome mods to get!

[@SHIZURAKU]

Download CM and check racedepartment there's so many more awesome Touges but this one is pretty epic too. Kinda like "new Akina" but better

@@SHIZURAKU thanks, hopefully the CM helps, tried to run this map but it wouldn't load into the race.

I love this map, I started playing it on your server. I will say I learned the corner at 3:45 ish I can keep through the kink and brake after it and still pass through without dying (most of the time lol) atleast in the Civic.

[@OfficialBaKa.]

What post processing filter do you use? Do you have a reshade filter on as well? Great video by the way 🤩

[@Dominik189]

Ooooh, now having driven this a bit, it's better than I initially thought it'd be. I literally did only like 6 runs and was already doing 5:05 times. And yeah that's not that fast but for the initial learning stage and me, that's good. I think this will become one of my default touge alongside fruits line, dousojin, mount futatabi, hakone ohiradai and maze. Also, I love the hairpins section on this, it's not annoying like Irohazaka, it's similar but actually enjoyable. edit: btw, @happi , if you're around, your MR2 freaking shines on both uphill and downhill nanamagari, if you don't have it definitely get this touge.

[@TSRB]

[@saulekaravirs6585]

Interesting take on Nanamagari. I downloaded the road a few days ago and started driving it, but actually found it to be kind of boring, in the frustrating kind of way. The whole thing felt like your complaints about Akina a while back. high speed, then a hairpin or group of hairpins, then high speed followed by more hairpins. Funnily enough I never rally got into driving Akina until I started driving online. I had spent a lot of time on Myogi, Akagi, Shomaru, Irahazaka and Gunsai before that. I started really liking Akina though when I started driving it online. This just felt like Akina with bigger "straits" if that makes sense. So while the straits on Akina are short enough that I don't get board on them, the straits on Nanamigari are so long that I get board, and then frustrated because going into a hairpin, what feels like, every time I get up to speed is not my idea of fun. I'll have to retry it, but I've already spent about an hour and a half on it and only really enjoyed a few short parts of the track. Somehow I find that my opinions of different mountain passes is exactly opposite of yours. Well, people having different opinions is fine, so I just find this to be kind of interesting. I also don't want it to sound like I'm bashing you. I'm not, I actually think that this was a great technical introduction to Nanamigari and will be sharing this video with my friends because I intend to race them on it, even if it's not my favorite course. I look forward to your next video as you do make some great content. Have a great day. :)

[@JeffVlimant]

A must have !

[@Jenglotto]

Do you use neckfx for your cockpit view? It looks nice in the video. Would love to see a video covering neckfx and it's settings, particular settings that give a better feel of g-forces since that's a missing element in sim racing

[@joshi5632]

[@baileykwan2896]

on that concrete wall corner you can float your tires above the inside of the grass for some extra speed

[@brkinwrx6200]

I have been play GTA5M on a server called Dragon Drive and if you haven't checked it out before you def should. It's a free racing server on the 5M client mainly focused on touge racing. It has every touge road you could want (including Nanamagari) and many many cars. They have edited the way the cars handle to make them not like GTA if you know what i mean. It is realistic in the sense that you can really tell the difference between FWD, AWD, and RWD and need to drive them all a bit a different. Even though there is no clutch or manual shifting which is annoying at first but after a bit you figure out you need to take the correct line in order to be fast. I think you should check it out because i only ever see like 2 ppl on there and i think more people should know about it.

This is the Old Hakone road, the new Turnpike (toll) road is that road that you go over and under in the "nanamagari" section.

[@NerfMaster000]

Actually the Turnpike is a bit south of Nanamagari. The road that you go over and under is actually the New Hakone Road.

[@pfausixd1319]

I had a theory yesterday would't it be possible to do the jump on Irohazaka. I had the idea to pull the handbreak just in the right moment so the rear of the car is still on the road and the front is in the air. So you move your line right into the corner, but your line will be screwed up anyways beacuse you need your weight on the rear so your front can "do the jump". It could also be possible that I just have a bad idea and will waste my time on trying it, i will try it tomorrow but feel free to give it a shot if you want

[@Jah_Coby]

You certainly can play it with a gamepad, although you may end up wanting for a wheel/sim setup. I know there are even some videos of people driving on gamepad, however if you find you like the game since it should be cheap to pick up, and heck steam has returns if you truly hate it, look into a wheel. They are actually quite affordable if you just snag a used one, and there are many ways you can save space to set them up without full sim equipment.

Nanamagari Nanamagari (七曲り) is the home course of Team Spiral. It is part of the Old Tokaido that spans Hakone and Odawara in the Kanagawa prefecture. It is perhaps well known for its 12 consecutive hairpins. Project D's penultimate battle with Team Spiral was held here during the foggy post-rain weather. Trivia Nanamagari in Japanese means 'Seven' (Nana) and 'turns' (Magari, a form of the verb Magaru, which means 'to bend') referring to the seven hairpins in the course, despite the fact that there are actually thirteen hairpins in the course.
