Revival Project #3 Sekia Hills DEC (wip v0.6)
Starting this year off with the third revival project, nestled in the heart of the early 2000s Japanese drifting scene, Sekia Hills stood as a legendary track, known for its challenging layout and especially its focus on community. The DEC (Driving Enjoy Club) and the iconic pro shop added that next level experience and for those that were lucky enough to visit will tell you about how great this place really was!
For us, Sekia Hills wasn't just a track.. it was the catalyst for our passion for drifting. Most of us now in our late 20s vividly remember immersing ourselves in Video Option dvd's or early youtube uploads of this drift haven, captivated by the raw skill and style that unfolded at Sekia Hills. Those videos really showed a lot of us what drifting was and how it should be done how the cars should look ect. While the track appeared to be the hotspot for drifting in Japan back then in 2012, Sekia Hills underwent a transformation that left the drifting community broken.. The once-thriving track for drivers succumbed to "progress" and became a solar farm, forever altering the landscape of Japanese drifting history.
Motivated by a deep sense of nostalgia and a desire to preserve the essence of Sekia Hills, we embarked on the journey to recreate this iconic track for Assetto Corsa. Utilizing lidar data and help with extra footage and photos not found online but from friends to get things done as well as we can, every curve of the track has been meticulously gone over to ensure an authentic virtual experience.
This map will include Grass Fx, Rain Fx, CSP, Skidmark Fx, Lighting Fx.. it'll include the DEC mall, the proshop, a complete pit area, the kart track, complete with the hotel on the hill overlooking the property (somethings are currently wip) – these elements are not just pixels; they are what make Sekia Hills so much different from the rest. The D1 vibes that echoed through this place will be felt by you as you fly by the D1 banners and flick into that iconic entry trying to keep it on the track.. maybe three wheeling on the dirt drop in the process trying to throw down your best D1 Street Legal run! This place really does feel like a journey back in time. As we update the track with further details the community's opinion is always helpful and needed! This project is not just a personal endeavor but an invitation to the drifting community to help revive the golden era of Sekia Hills. Let us know your thoughts, please feel free to share any of your memories here or in the discord, and let's collectively celebrate the legacy of this iconic track together!
