Assetto Corsa – Update Info and Daily dose of AC video footage.

 

 

Almost a week after the Assetto Corsa Early Access version was released, the fan base has grown massively. The Sim scene is literally flooded with videos of the newest Kunos Simulazioni creation.
Kunos Simulazioni stated that the first of the updates to appear every two weeks will be released on November 22, and will contain three new cars and two new tracks.

Press Release Quote:

In the launch weekend, the new PC racing game “Assetto Corsa”, produced by KUNOS Simulazioni and distribuited on Steam Early Access has reached the top seller rankings on Steam, just behind Call of Duty Ghosts, keeping the top five position for all the weekend, and it conquered the first position in the racing genre. This first beta version has been very well welcomed by gamers and simracers, who have shared great feedback, very positive comments and suggestions. A result that exceeded the best expectations of the Assetto Corsa dev team, that is already working on the next release, ready to be launched on November 22th, and that will include updates, new features, 3 new cars and 2 new tracks. Meanwhile, a new Early Access teaser has been released. 

 

Videos: For starters the new official Lotus 49 promotion video by Kunos Simulazioni. We presume the video was created by Lee Ross, who you might know by his internet handle ” BSNismo”.
Also Pinor27 created a beautiful Jim Clark tribute video demonstrating the Lotus 49 model on the Historic Monza track, while Skopey had a some what more modern video in mind. He shows us the BMW M3 in drifting mode.  Skopey states he is very impressed with Assetto Corsa, and points out that up and till now only LFS seemed capable of pleasing the Drift enthusiasts.

Assetto Corsa is being designed to provide a very realistic driving experience, with single player and multiplayer options, officially licensed cars and tracks developed using Laser scan technology, and the highest level of accuracy possible in reproducing real world motor racing environments. Also, Assetto Corsa will allow for considerable customisation and modification, in order to satisfy the expectations of professional sim racers, gamers who prefer to approach the driving experience more progressively, and hobbyists who just like to collect lots of cars and tracks.
