I drive this route everyday to and from work! Very faithful representation of the actual road. So cool to drive it in AC!!

Wow this is so cool, I remember like 10 years ago wishing I could drive Topanga in a game. I've had to imagine using both lanes until now.

I appreciate all the little details like the strawberry sign, Birds Nest Salon and of course the Wall of Topanga. But I didn't see any flying pigs! ;)

I have driven this road almost every day for many years, and I can tell that you have too. Thank you very much for creating this.

This is an amazing addition. the only thing that pulls it back from a 5 star for me is that the trees and bushes dont receive shadows from the hills as you would expect. Whenever there is a shaded area the trees and bushes are still "lit up"... hopefully this changes at some point which will make it 5 stars for me! Cheers!

This is so cool!!! I grew up in the Canyon, and never expected to be able to drive it like this! Every turn is so faithfully recreated, it's absolutely incredible. I live in a different city now, so it's not too often I get to drive it these days. Much Appreciated!!

Lifelong resident of Topanga Canyon here, and this is fantastic and a literal dream come true for me. Great representation of the detail in the various recognizable shops throughout the store, roadway feels like a faithful representation of the real world version. The strawberry signs at the start let me know immediately that this modder meant business.

One thing I would adjust is the density/height of trees in certain areas. There are two turns in particular toward the later half of the uphill route where there are clear sightlines in real life, but there are large trees in the way in this mod.. it's a bit disorienting as it makes the corners look like completely alien ones. Aside from that, and the fact that every street sign is the Entrado sign, I cannot imagine a more faithful reproduction. And beyond that, it's the main thoroughfare I've had to use in my life so it's amazing to get to drive it in a sim, especially now while I'm stuck at home and my car is in the shop from falling out of repair due to disuse. Anyway, back to the positive -> this track is great, cannot wait to see any future updates.. also cannot wait to see the Mullholland Highway track once it's ready.

I'm very happy to have the approval of a Topanga resident! Awesome! Glad you're digging it. Thanks for the feedback regarding the trees as well. I've just released an update some new track variations, and I also took a look at the trees in the downhill section just before Mulholland using my dashcam footage as reference. I trimmed a bunch of them back. In future releases I will be doing my best to comb through the rest of the track in a similar manner. Also, just to make sure to not get your hopes up too much, the next track I'm working on is actually Mulholland "Drive" between the 405 and the 101, not "Highway" near Malibu :( Perhaps in the future once I've streamlined my creation process as that road is quite long and detailed. Piuma and Stunt are on my short list after Mulholland Dr, however!

I can't believe i haven't found this earlier. As a more casual driver, i really enjoy road tracks, especially with traffic, and with the reworked AI flood in CSP 1.75 this track is absolutely amazing. It has phenomenal flow if you wanna push, but is also just wonderfully scenic if you just want to take a chill cruise. 12/8, amazing job!

One of my favorite places to motor if Jay Leno and his mob of at least , 100+ bikers aren't barreling through the corners like Goofy grandpas. LOL

I'm so glad that there are others from California, esp. So. Cal, that have the skills needed to bring PCH and its goodies to the home simulator.
Thank you my friend.

Question for you.

I take it you are a familiar with that part of PCH. So I was wondering what do you think about a few other canyons. Such as, (all my favs) Decker canyon road, Latigo Canyon road, 90265 on the map!!, and my uncontested favorite, Yerba Buena road.

I'm sure if you've driven/ridden them, they hold a place in your heart as they do mine.

Ever think of doing another canyon?

I don't usually enjoy hillclimbs so much but this is so much fun. Nice sweeping bends and inclines. Had great fun with a little BMW Z4 hillclimb car i downloaded.

Absolutely the greatest track for a long while. My favourite now.
I love it, you must have put a lot of effort in this one with all the details. Sometimes I loose my concentration: "What was that? A London bus?"
Next time I will stop and look closer.
Great job!

Haha thanks, yeah that bus is there in real life (well, it was gone last time I drove by). One thing I'm trying to do with my mods is make sure to add as much true-to-life character as possible, as I find those types of things serve as good landmarks for some point of reference when driving the track. That's also one aspect that I could tinker FOREVER with, so it can be dangerous for making progress.

When I want to set it for a quick or a complete race a message saying that the track can be used only in practice sessions appears...

Seriously awesome mod with a lot of care put into it. Feels just like a real California road to this Californian. If you like LA Canyons this is a must-have.

I used to take this drive 4 times a week to school. You have done an amazing job! I used to drive my lexus around here like it was a race car and now I actually can drive a race car on it! Great job, and can't wait for future updates!

Tracks like this are the reason for love Assetto Corsa more than Competizione. Awesome work, thank you

I grew up driving this road and it all came rushing back to me as soon as I got in. It felt like exactly what I remember and I was able to pick it up again pretty quick. Feels like a perfect re-creation! I spent three hours in VR driving all sorts of different cars tonight, so so so so good. I have my fingers crossed that Stunt Road is next. 100000/10 <3

Awesome, thanks, glad you're digging it and that you find it close to reality! And actually, you may just be in luck. Mulholland Drive is next, as I'm already 75% finished with it, but after that my plan is to do Piuma + Stunt. It will probably be a while yet, but for that stretch I'm hoping to begin releasing alpha versions of my tracks early in the process to keep me from just sitting on stuff for years like I did with Topanga.
