Assetto Corsa Bonus Pack 3 Arrives In December! The hugely anticipated Assetto Corsa Bonus Pack 3 has been given a date for its PC release and it’s this month! The consoles are only tentatively mentioned with an “as s**n as possible” timeline at the moment. Arriving on Steam on December 20th, this monster free Bonus Pack from the Kunos Simulazioni team is frankly astonishing in what it offers. Not only does the collection of cars put shame to many of the premium packs put out there by competitors, but it has also been said to feature a laser-scanned Laguna Seca too. (at least we hope this is still the case) As for the PS4 and Xbox One, they will probably have to wait until early 2018 to get it, but that wait, should be well worth it. Along with this announcement, where we are treated to a short video of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, is the confirmation that the Maserati Alfieri Concept car we posted about very recently has very likely made its way in. We were sure this was the case anyway, but before it became definite there were six cars we knew were going to be included, but now official information mentions 'seven' as the amount. Assetto Corsa: Bonus Pack 3 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Lamborghini Huracan Performante Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Maserati Alfieri Concept Maserati Quattroporte Pagani Huayra BC Laguna Seca track With Dec 19th being the third anniversary of AC’s release on PC, to have this come out so close to that actual date, is ideal, and shows a continued appreciation and passion to celebrate the life of time of it. It should go without saying that if you are a keen racer then you really should have this game in your collection. It’s been supported with some outstanding free content over its time and the premium DLC is fairly priced too.

Grab Some Doritos, Let The Old Times Roll! December’s Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 7 has been revealed and it’s set to give players a blast from the past, containing a selection of vintage and classics making up most of the list. The ‘Doritos Car Pack’ sports seven new-to-Forza vehicles and has a strong focus on those from years before, including the oldest car to ever be featured in the Forza series at over 90 years old, and covers the largest passage of time between ye old and da new. Strangely, the trailer, as clever and creative as it is, only shows five of those found in the pack. The others are mentioned in the info below the video and in the announcement over at the official site, which is a shame as the classic BMW from the late 30s and striking 60s Porsche race car would have been great to see in action.

With again the opinion being that these would be more fitting in the Horizon games (I agree), however, it is also starting to stir up thoughts of a possible off-roading/rally expansion perhaps being on the horizon (hehe). [gallery type=rectangular" link="file" size="seven-post-image" ids="7496,7497,7499,7500,7501] The Forza Motorsport 7 Doritos Car Pack is available now to purchase and download on Xbox One and PC, at either a standalone price, or as part of the Forza Motorsport 7 Car Pass.

Assetto Corsa Bonus Pack 3 Bonus! Those fine upstanding people at Kunos Simulazioni continue to impress with their insane generosity towards their fan base, with the surprise reveal that there will be another vehicle cosying up beside those already announced for Assetto Corsa Bonus Pack 3. As if it wasn’t enough that this bonus pack essentially came about because of the delay in releasing the Laguna Seca track for the title, to which they then packed in a load of incredible vehicles alongside, they have now shown that the stunning Maserati Alfieri Concept Car will also be in it. In the video below which was streamed Live by Ak Informatica (italian) at the Monza Rally Show, were members of the Assetto Corsa team giving a preview of the Bonus Pack. At the 13:16 mark, the camera swings around to the curved monitor in front of a youngster giving us our first look at the new addition. (check out that rev counter!) Maserati Alfieri Concept Car Introduced back at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show, the grand tourer exhibits a lot of the aggressive but sleek design cues that have featured on past and present vehicles of the marque. Along with a vision into how future models would look to incorporate some of the styling philosophy into their design. According to our tipster, the in-game machine will not be AWD or find its power delivered through a V6 Twin Turbo Hybrid. No, it will sport a lovely V8 and be RWD. An idea of how that just might sound can be seen in the NM2255 Car HD video below. With the third anniversary of Assetto Corsa’s initial release date approaching (Dec 19th), it is entirely possible that this could be the release date for Bonus Pack 3 itself. Whether that will be on all formats, or only PC, we will need to wait and see. Hat tip to Kelvjy for the heads-up!
