Honda Civic Type R-GT (GT500): The Next Generation Rework. Part of AW Assetto Corsa mods collection.

The 2024+ Civic Type R-GT represents a new era of aerodynamic efficiency. Moving away from the mid-engine layout of the NSX, this front-engine, rear-drive (FR) layout required a complete physics overhaul to match the real-world performance of the HR-420E 2.0L turbo engine and the Class 1 technical regulations.

GT500 “Class 1” Power & BoP

To ensure this car can trade paint with the URD Supra and Nissan Z GT500s, we have completely recalibrated the powertrain:

  • HR-420E Engine Simulation: Reworked the 2.0L inline-4 turbo to produce a regulated 650+ HP. We have modeled the steep torque curve typical of high-fuel-flow racing engines, ensuring it pulls hard to the 9,000+ RPM limiter.
  • URD BoP Alignment: Weight and power-to-weight ratios have been adjusted to match the “Balance of Performance” used in the URD EGT/GT500 packs. This ensures that in a multi-class race, the Civic remains competitive without being “OP.”
  • No Driver Aids: Per GT500 regulations, TC (Traction Control) and ABS have been removed. The car now requires precise throttle management and threshold braking, rewarding skilled drivers.

Aerodynamics & Chassis Dynamics

The Civic body style has a different aero signature compared to the NSX.

  • Aero Rebalance: We have adjusted the downforce distribution to reflect the 2024 aero regs. The car features a “moderate downforce, low drag” profile, making it a weapon on high-speed straights like Fuji Speedway.
  • Brake Balance & Suspension: The brake bias has been shifted further to the front to account for the engine’s forward position. Suspension geometry was overhauled to remove the “generic” feel, providing a stiff, responsive platform that handles curbs like a professional GT500 machine.
  • Tire Performance: Tweaked the tire heating and wear curves to match the URD/RSS standards, ensuring consistent grip over a full stint.

Visual & AI Improvements

  • Flame Correction: Corrected the exhaust flame positioning to align with the actual side-exit exhaust points found on the Type R-GT’s bodywork.
  • AI Rework: The AI has been taught the new braking and acceleration limits of the car. They are now more aggressive in overtaking and better at defending their lines in a GT500 pack.
  • Graphics Extension: Added a custom ext_config.ini to improve the carbon fiber textures, internal cockpit displays, and the “red-h Honda” emblem glow.

19/04/2026 Update: Added physics data rework for FSR model version.

Installation Requirements

Note: This physics and graphics configuration is designed for compatibility with the cslm_type_r_gt500 or FSR model.

  • Required: A valid installation of the base model by cslm_type_r_gt500 or FSR is required to apply these technical updates.
  • Compatibility: Optimized for use with CSP (Custom Shaders Patch).
  • Method: Replace the data and extension folders in the car’s root directory.
