I am pretty sure this is another F1 Codemasters conversion. It's really high quality and I can't really find anything wrong with it aside from the fact that it doesn't have any lights for night racing, but it's very solid anyway.

This one is pretty much the same but adds a night mode. The night mode is a custom weather rather than with the custom shaders patch. The lights don't work when CSP is active. Otherwise it's pretty much the same.

This one seems exactly like the above one but it works with custom shaders patch instead of the custom weather.

This track is a further rework of the other versions. It's got lights, and the endurance variant that wasn't included with the other ones, and updated sponsor skins. It's extremely well done and my favorite of the bunch.

This is the only version of this track that is available that isn't a codemasters conversion. It was a scratch-made mod track for Rfactor, then ported to rfactor 2, then converted to AC. It isn't as detailed in it's surroundings as the codemasters derived versioins so visually it isn't as nice, and the road surface is bumpy in a low-poly kind of way. The one advantage this one has is that it has more track variants that none of the rest have (including the new outer ring variant that F1 will be using this season). There's no glaring problems with it, but it's just not as nice as Bahrain 2020 by

This track was originally created for rFactor 2 by dix-racing.pl. I actually really like the Baku circuit, which is probably an unpopular opinion, but I find it really fun to drive and interesting to look at. This rendition of it is lacking in the graphics department, mostly with the trackside buildings being flat with blurry textures. The major flaws though are the inaccuracies with the elevation changes and track width. It's mostly flat in this version, while the real one has some hills. This version of the track does come with DRS zones which is nice. This version was fine when no others existed, but now that Terra21's is here I'll probably never revisit this one again.

Now this is one beautiful track. The buildings are incredibly detailed, and the track's elevation is all accurate. Baku might be a boring race to watch, but it's an excellent track to drive on, especially if you use this one. For me, this is my choice.

This one just seems like it's a direct rip of the Terra21 version with some f1-mania.ru logos around. I can't see any difference.

This one also appears to be a rework of the terra21 version and it has some weird colored lighting that colors a lot of the buildings red. It's more noticable on the tight streets than the open areas. Maybe I have a bad ini file for it or something. It looks pretty weird. This isn't present if you're not using CSP/Sol.

This version of the track has a very rFactor look to it. The track mesh is also not very smooth, so it's very hard to drive an indycar here. The trees are also pretty repetetive. It's not ugly, it's just not refined. Track lights look really weird and have a fake glow texture and aren't actually lights (tried at night, the place was pitch black)

Now this is refined. This version is fantastic. Textures are sharp, trees look great, and the track surface is as bumpy as the real place looks on tv. Definitely download the skin pack from racedepartment to have the proper sponsors and branding since it's a pay track so it had to go with a generic fictional name. This track is easily worth the cash they ask for it.

Everyone has used this one. It's great. If you have the DLC, use this one. If you don't, buy it. If you can't, the ACU one is the next best thing.

The surroundings don't look great, lap timer resets when crossing the line but no laps are recorded (missing checkpoints), the track is too wide, the track is too bumpy, the trees look flat. I don't remember where I got this version and it doesn't have a readme so I have no idea who made this.

This version is really good. I think it's a conversion from rFactor 2 (He also did a shift conversion, so I'm not sure if this is rF2 or Shift to be honest), and aside from the Kunos banners all over the start of the track it looks really good, all while maintaining a great frame rate. I really like this version.
There are a couple of skin packs for this track by Fred Basset that get rid of the Kunos banners and dress things up a bit

Trackside details are perfect, the AI is decent, lighting is spot on, and since it's a conversion from Forza Motorsport 7, the attention to detail is incredible. There's lots of skins available for it, and it comes with 3 track variants. The only complaint I have at all is that it doesn't maintain a full 90FPS (important for VR) for the whole lap, but it does through most of it. Despite that, this is a great version. It was definitely the best version until reboot team's ACC conversion.

This track began it's life in ACC and then was converted to rFactor 2 and then carried over to AC. This conversion is nicely done, but there's a couple issues, mainly with the road. There's almost no feel to it, it's so smooth. And even the texture for the road is smooth, like you're driving on polished stone. No night lighting either, unfortunately. Not much else to say about it.

This is also based on the ACC version but was converted directly instead of going through rfactor 2 before getting to AC. Reboot team really knocked it out of the park with this one. It's got so much more detail, the road feel is on point, the daytime lighting is perfect and the night lighting is gorgeous. This is the new best Bathurst.

This is a conversion of a track from Live for Speed and it's a really fun circuit. Trackside objects look fine, and the grass looks good too. It performs nicely and I don't really have anything bad to say about it. It also includes a bunch of layouts.

This version is another conversion of the same track and everything looks better. The grass, the trees, the buildings, everything. Lighting for night racing has been enabled and all of the eye candy looks good at a solid 90FPS. The only downside is it only has the main layout. Hopefully this gets expanded by the community, since it seems like it hasn't been updated by the author since 2015.

This track is converted from the same source that the Gilles75 version was converted from but manages to be a decent looking and decent running track. I don't particularly like this track because of all the chicanes but if I was going to drive on this track this would be the only version for me.

This place is a bit rough but has a lot of potential. It's got a lot of decent textures but desperately needs grass, shadows, color correction, and there's absolutely no camber in the road at all. But like I said, it has potential. It's almost good. Despite that, this is the version to get.

This is a rework of the above track and sometimes I wonder why this guy even bothers. The grass is a nice touch but again it was all made too dark and the cones and flag shaders are screwed up. The original had waving flags but these don't wave, and then the cones are just large white glitchy pyramids while the ones in the original just look like cones. It's like it was never even tested or checked! Skip this and just get the original.

This version of the track is pretty basic. The track layouts are accurate and the trackside buildings near the start are nice, but the trees are very repetitive and just behind the first layer of trees is a really obvious flat wall of trees which I am sure was done to help performance, but it doesn't look very nice and I wasn't able to maintain 90FPS throughout the lap anyway, even just by myself. I'd look for a more optimized and better looking version, myself.

This is a fantastic mod track. The textures look great, the buildings are highly detailed, it performs better than the other two, and the trees aren't repetitive. Overall this is the one to get if you don't have the dream pack 3 DLC.

Just like Barcelona, this is the version to use. Kunos knows what they're doing and have produced a faithful recreation of this place. It's the best looking version available, best performing version available, and if you're playing online, the most used version as well. This one is my pick.

This is a fun technical track and this version of it is great. All of the details are spot on, and comparing it to videos of the real life track it looks just right. It's a little bumpy, but I think it's supposed to be.

To my eye this appears to be a modified version of ACF's version, with some texture changes. Some bugs and artifacts like pink transparent surfaces showed up during this modification so I'd recommend using ACF's version instead.
There is another Brasilia track out there by thestrobe8 but I can't find a download link to it anywhere. If you've got it, I'd appreciate the ability to try it out!

This track surprised me. I expected it to look bad, and while it doesn't look amazing, it's a solid looking track. Everything except the blurry horizon mountains looks color corrected, and maybe it's just because I had grassFX on (really, grassFX transforms bland environments) but I really liked the way this one looks, plus the road surface is good and it's a genuinely fun track to drive.

I am not sure if this is a rework of the rainmaker version or if it was just a conversion done from the same source material. There are only a few differences I notice between this one and the other one. The main one is the signage is different and second is that there's no people around. I copied the bremgarten1954 ini file to this track and all of the lights and grassfx stuff carried over just fine and it looks awesome.

This one is an update to apply to the llamafett version with all of the graphical artifacts fixed, way better AI, and some new textures. Also added is a new layout with a clay racing surface. One thing I REALLY liked about this version is how the start positions are placed. They are all at the side of the track at a 45 degree angle similar to an old fashioned Le Mans start. This really helps in starts with the AI. In a traditional grid the AI has no idea how to start (since AC doesn't have rolling starts) but this mitigates the problem quite nicely. This track is my choice for Bristol and if lights were added for night racing I'd be in heaven.

This one takes all of the improvements from the Malagoli version and builds upon them to create a more natural look. Paint colors on the curbs look brighter, the trees look more natural, and the grass looks a lot more real as well. The whole place just feels much more real, and the road surface feels better too. Definitely grab this one.

This is a pretty solid track with only a few flaws. some of the road texture variations are a bit abrupt and the flags look a little weird, a few sign textures are stretched to the wrong aspect ratio and the 3d grass objects are kinda bad looking but overall it's fine.

This is ACF's rework of lebastia85's track and it takes the track from "just fine" to "excellent". The grass is much improved and the signs are fixed. The weird flags are still there and now the sand looks bright white, but that's really all I can find wrong with it. The extra track layouts are also a plus. Definitely drive this version.
