Get Ready to Show Off Your Awesome Driving Skills The next update of Assetto Corsa Early Access will include the multiplayer mode and was previously scheduled for tomorrow’s release; our work in the last two months has been strongly focused to complete and deliver this feature properly. We have also made investments to set several free public servers for our users and a proper lobby for servers created by, users, leagues, sim racing websites and so on. However, due to local 25th April celebrations, we might have some issues to get the best possible support from our Italian based server provider, right on launch day. Multiplayer is one of the most awaited features for a lot of sim racing enthusiasts, but in order to properly test in public the multiplayer mode, we need to get the best technical support possible; for this reason, and also in order to improve multiplayer functionality and to develop some additional features, tomorrow’s release has been shifted to Friday 2nd, May. This delay will allow us to release the multiplayer on a working day, getting fast and proper support by our provider, if needed. We are pretty sure you understand that we are working at our best to provide the best gaming experience we can. Thank you for your kind support and attention.

Lucky v0.7 The number 7 is a big favourite for being the lucky number of many people, and with this latest update for the Early Access Beta of Assetto Corsa bearing it you could see why, as it brings with it the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit as well as a F1 style open-wheel racecar in the form of the Lotus Exos T125.

Ring the Lotus Another update for Assetto Corsa is due this Friday and on their official Facebook they have posted goodies such as a blurred out pic of the Michael-Schumacher-S (keep fighting Michael!) from the Nurburgring Grand Prix circuit and updated their cover to an in-game shot of the Lotus Exos T125, in the past these actions have proven to show what is to come to the title so these latest postings have obviously created much excitement for what may be to come on Friday. We've known that the Nurburgring-Nordschleife is coming later this year via the fan vote but this is the first real indication that the GP circuit would be coming much quicker and it could be dropping on us in the next few days! Even better is it adds to the roster and inventory of the game as it builds its way up to it's final v1.0 release. Accessible F1 The Lotus Exos T125 is essentially an F1 car that those with the ability and cash can purchase, the original intent of the project was to create as close to possible an F1 car, but make it that bit easier to drive and a touch more comfortable due to it's bigger cockpit than your typical F1 car. Powered by a Cosworth 3.8 liter V8 that produces a staggering 640bhp and weighing only 590kg due to a bespoke carbon composite with Nomex and aluminium core chassis with carbon composite panels means a power-to-weight ratio of more than 1000bhp per tonne!! That means this fecker is FAST! The signs are good that these are more than likely coming in the next update so if you want to be in on it then click the link below and get the game now! Those of you already enjoying the title will be able to update the game through the normal means when the update is released. Find out more about the Lotus Exos T125 on the official website. Assetto Corsa: Early Access is available on Steam. Thanks - Assetto Corsa Facebook

I Got the Power! Kunos Simulazioni have released the latest update for Assetto Corsa with v0.6.5, edging us ever closer to the final version. This update brings a new car in the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 and two upgrade packages with the Lotus Evora S Stage 2 and the BMW 1M Stage 3 to players. The full rundown can be seen in the Press Release below. Assetto Corsa Early Access v.0.6.5 has been released today. This version enables the first test of engine damage as well as lot’s of other features and new contents! Although still under development and balancing, gamers can experience engine damages if they downshift too aggressively and over rev the engine, or if they keep the turbo pressure too high on cars that permit turbo boost adjustments ingame (have a go at the BMW Z4 Drift and the new BMW 1M Stage 3 and experiment with keys 1-0 while driving..). This version also includes the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 race car: this is the first McLaren car built for FIA GT series racing since the McLaren F1 GTR finished production in 1997. The 12C GT3 is based on the new MP4-12C high-performance sports car and a team of engineers, designers and test drivers with vast experience in Formula 1 and GT racing has been assembled to undertake the process of adapting the carbon chassis-based 12C to racing specification. Kunos Simulazioni development team had a great opportunity to recreate in great detail this beautiful race car, and we are very excited to see what simracers think about it and what performances they will be able to achieve against other GT3 cars in the Assetto Corsa lineup. We also included two upgrades for existing cars. The very capable BMW 1M Stage 3, with extra power, adjustable turbo boost, shorter gearbox and much improved suspension, and the amazingly balanced Lotus Evora Stage 2 with a new compressor pulley for a bit of additional engine power and a much more track focused suspension. We have a new friends leaderboard app. Now, gamers can directly compete against their friends on Steam steam and reset your scores ingame, everytime you like. This app is not intended to go against the amazing leaderboards created by 3rd party modders, as it doesn’t checks for cheats or assists, but it is a leaderboard for you and for your friends you trust. It gives you the opportunity to compete against each other and “reset the scores” when you want to start again. It will keep laptimes as well as scores from drift and time attack modes, all synchronised with Steam leaderboard system.

Another Update Sir? Not long following the recent 0.6.0 Update for the title on Friday, Kunos has released another small update. This update contains fixes for the below and comes in at 30.5MB. Asseto Corsa 0.6.1 Update Look back fixed for some cars Removed time parameter in replay.ini No more need to attach race.ini or race_out.json since they are printed in log Improved collisions with ground Small optimizations in collision boxes on some cars LOD fixes for Ferrari F40 to improve framerates Users of the game can now update their installation to the latest version via Steam. And if you want to try it out then jump on over to Steam and pick it up!

McLaren Racer The next update comes to Assetto Corsa tomorrow and Kunos Simulazioni has revealed that the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 will come with it. The scarier brother of the mundane road-going version of the McLaren supercar had been built to FIA GT3 race-specification and competed in the 2011 British GT Championship and other race events such as the Spa 24 Hours.

AI meet AC A new update to the Assetto Corsa (AC) Beta comes tomorrow and along with this will be an upgrade to include a "taste" of AI in certain special event quick races. As you can tell it's not a full roll-out and is for all intents and purposes a means of testing how the AI performs on the multiple configuration of systems and hardware that players will have. As Kunos' own Aristotelis Vasilakosn says: For this first AI update, we won't give you the complete grid AI enabled. There will only be some special events quick races, with some cars on some tracks that will give you a taste as I said of Ai races. I know that everybody wants the full monty, but I'm also sure that you understand that we need to test the performance of the AI on various systems, check for bugs, improve it and so on. It is far easier for us to do so on some specific scenarios, than having to control the whole Assetto Corsa grid at once. For those of you more interested in just enjoying the sublime handling and physics of AC you'll be glad to hear some new cars are coming via the update as well as a contradictory 'subtle' "complete rework of our tyre model". How something can be completely re-worked and be subtle we don't know but we have faith in Kunos and look forward to seeing what they bring.

P1 More McLaren for Assetto CorsaIf a facebook post by Kunos Simulazioni 'Licensing Project Manager' Marco Massarutto is anything to go by, then it looks like we can safely assume that the McLaren P1 hypercar will be appearing in their PC sim-racer Assetto Corsa (AC) as part of their McLaren licensing deal. One for often posting 'Work in Progress' shots and teases of the game and its contents on his Timeline, the image is one of the most recent to appear with just a simple "Yes, it is.".In good company McLaren's flagship will be too, as with the recent unveiling of the Ferrari LaFerrari, there is plenty of supercar royalty, hatches and classics for its players to choose from and that's only the official offerings, there will be gajillions more via modding! Hopefully the days of these extreme machines being only available in certain games is coming to an end, and now all we need is for Assetto Corsa to show they have Porsche and people's heads could literally explode!Here's a video players may be able to recreate in the game due to a Laser-scanned Nurburgring Nordschleife coming in the 'Dream Pack' DLC later in 2014.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9IWiTpWeiM Thanks Facebook

The Ferrari TheFerrari If there's one thing a racing game can do to grab your attention it is show a sleek hot Italian rear end... and I was going to use this as an excuse to post an image of exactly that, but unfortunately when Kunos Simulazioni do it to show what is coming to their Assetto Corsa racing-sim, they do so with a Ferrari. So I guess this rear-end will have to do, not that many of you will complain of course. The latest premium addition to the Modena stable of Prancing Horse's will be coming as a free content update to version 1.0 which is due to hit some time this year.

Kudos to Kunos! Up until now, if you wanted to race on a laser-scanned version of "Green Hell", you either needed an rFactor Professional license, or you needed to be a successful racing driver employed by a team who have their own simulator. Financial issues plaguing the 'ring' over the past few years has made realising this dream a challenge, but now the ambitious studio behind Assetto Corsa are setting out to make that a reality in September 2014. In addition, Kunos will feature 10 community-chosen vehicles in this Dream Pack DLC. Keep tabs on updates to their official website to have your say. http://www.assettocorsa.net/nurburgring-news/

Home is Where the Racing is. The Italian racing circuit "Pierro Taruffi" of Vallenlunga has been revealed and will be included in KUNOS Simulazioni's racing-sim Assetto Corsa due out later this year. I know what you are thinking as I was thinking the same thing, Where? Well there's a good reason for this not well known circuit being in many games but coming to this one and that is that it is the home of KUNOS Simulazioni! Having a research&development studio in a racing track homologated for international races and Formula 1 tests, represents an excellent opportunity by a logistic and commercial point of view. It has allowed the development team of Assetto Corsa to improve its modeling techniques of 3D environments, in order to optimize the data collection on those tracks where timeline and weather conditions are not ideal. Along with this track announcement is a gallery where we also get a good look at the McLaren MP4-12C and it's active-aero in operation at certain points around the circuit. Thanks. Assetto Corsa Dev-blog In screen #15 there is a large ad for the Lamborghini Aventador, is this a hint to future content or just attention to detail of the circuit? Hmmm...

XXTREMELY FAST KUNOS Simulazioni is excited to announce yet another Ferrari that's coming to their Assetto Corsa game later this year. This time it's the Ferrari 599XX EVO, the super hardcore track toy for the rich racing enthusiast. As the car is not road-legal, owners can only use it on the track and for the million or two that they have put down for it they get the exclusive pleasure of having Ferrari transport the car to the track and also supply a group of their own engineers and a pit-crew to monitor and set-up the car to the owners liking or for the track itself. If you are not mega-rich then don't worry as Assetto Corsa will give you the opportunity to experience this outrageous car for yourself later this year. This ‘car’ is simply brutal, “nasty”. Vastly different in comparison to other road cars modified to be used in competitions, the 599XX Evo is much more like a prototype. When you see it in action, is difficult to imagine that it comes from a road-legal base. It looks, it drives, it sounds differently to any other car. And it’s an exclusive car, that just few lucky people in the world can drive on track. It’s the same on the virtual side: few racing games include the 599XX Evo, therefore we believe that gamers and car enthusiasts will appreciate our effort to bring this awesome car in Assetto Corsa.

Outrun the Pack! Kunos Simulazioni have confirmed that the Ferrari 458 GT2 will be coming to their eagerly-anticipated simulation-racer Assetto Corsa on it's release which is due sometime later this year. They have also released some rather nice screenshots of the car from the game for us to gawp at and drool over. [gallery size=gallery-thumbnail" itemtag="div" icontag="span" link="file" columns="5]

GT Ready for McLaren in Assetto Corsa Kunos Simulazioni today announced their licensing of McLaren for their upcoming Assetto Corsa simulation racer coming sometime this year. A tech preview is already available and the response from many quarters is that it's a definite one-to-watch in the plethora of available and upcoming titles within the PC sim-racing genre. This latest agreement will see the MP4-12C and it's GT3 racing alter-ego come to the game after it's initial release as Downloadable Content, at this time there is no mention of other models such as the only yesterday unveiled P1 or the classic F1 variants. This agreement allows the Kunos development team to enrich Assetto Corsa’s virtual garage with two of the most desirable GT cars: The McLaren MP4-12c and the MP4-12c GT3. We hope this agreement can satisfy both the street car enthusiasts, and the simracing drivers who, with this addition, will get an amazing line-up for their GTR races in Assetto Corsa. With Ferrari, Pagani and now McLaren making some of their cars available to the game plus the multiple additions that will come via the modding community, the future is certainly bright for this highly-anticipated and much wanted title.
