My very first track ever built for Assetto Corsa, local/main track on Uruguay for formula/touring cars categories.

***2026 Update of my version of Autódromo Víctor Borrat Fabini – El Pinar for Assetto Corsa.***

This update is the result of 5 years of work — replacing outdated layouts, adding new ones, and polishing countless quality‑of‑life details that often go unnoticed but make all the difference once you’re on track.

With this release, I’m calling the project complete. No more updates planned.
It feels strange to say that after five years of learning, experimenting, breaking things, fixing them again, and discovering just how far this “hobby” can take you. I never imagined that working on a track mod would lead me to conversations with professional racing teams and drivers, or that it would connect me with a local community I didn’t even know existed. I met incredible people, collaborators who became friends, and a group of enthusiasts who made the long nights worth it.

Most of all, this project made me feel part of something bigger — a small push helping simracing grow in a country as small as mine, Uruguay. That alone made every hour worthwhile.

I hope this release inspires more initiatives that continue strengthening simracing in Uruguay in the years to come.Please delete old version before installing the new one, folders have been renamed and older will no receive any further updates.

===================================================

The Autódromo Víctor Borrat Fabini at El Pinar – named in honor of the local racing great who was instrumental in its construction – is Uruguay’s most important racing circuit and the home of AUVO, (Asociación Uruguaya de Volantes), the national racing association. Active throughout the year with a busy calendar of events, the circuit has recently been extended, providing racers with a new combination of corners for the first time since the mid-1970s.

The circuit is located in the Department of Canelones, around 30 km east of the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. This close proximity has been one of the secrets of its ongoing success, alongside its favorable location relative to Argentina and Brazil, whose major series have paid visits on numerous occasions, boosting El Pinar’s importance as a regional racing hub.

The circuit was built in 1956, opening in October of that year, meaning that AUVO was one of the few private institutions in South America to own and operate its own racing facility. In its original form it was triangular in outline, with a series of infield twists and turns adding variety to the rear of the paddock area. The perimeter course measured just over 1.6 miles

El Autódromo Víctor Borrat Fabini en El Pinar, nombrado en honor al gran piloto local que jugó un papel decisivo en su construcción, es el circuito de carreras más importante de Uruguay y el hogar de AUVO, (Asociación Uruguaya de Volantes), la asociación nacional de carreras. Activo durante todo el año con un ajetreado calendario de eventos, el circuito se ha ampliado recientemente, proporcionando a los corredores una nueva combinación de curvas por primera vez desde mediados de la década de 1970.

El circuito está ubicado en el Departamento de Canelones, a unos 30 km al este de la capital uruguaya, Montevideo. Esta proximidad ha sido uno de los secretos de su éxito continuo, junto con su ubicación favorable en relación con Argentina y Brasil, cuyas principales series han visitado el autódromo en numerosas ocasiones, aumentando la importancia de El Pinar como un centro regional de carreras.

El circuito se construyó en 1956 y se inauguró en octubre de ese año, lo que significa que AUVO fue una de las pocas instituciones privadas en América del Sur en poseer y operar su propia instalación de carreras. En su forma original, tenía un contorno triangular, con una serie de giros y curvas en el interior del perímetro, que agregaban variedad a la parte trasera del área del paddock. El recorrido del perímetro medía poco más de 2,5 kilómetros.
