2017 Ferrari SF70H Coming to Assetto Corsa

[Paul Jeffrey]

Following the recent poll to choose the final car in the upcoming 'Ferrari 70th Anniversary' DLC, Kunos have confirmed the new machine will be.... the 2017 Formula One car!

With the votes in and counted, the results checked and double checked, the final car from the upcoming Ferrari DLC has been confirmed as the machine raced by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen in the 2017 Formula One World Championship.

With one of Ferraris most successful Formula One cars in recent years, the SF70H has proven to be the most desirable car in a list of fantastic vehicles selected by Kunos Simulazioni, and as such will be added to the DLC line up due to release later this year for Assetto Corsa.

Could it be that we might have the 2017 WDC winning machine in AC before the end of the year, or will the works Ferrari squad find a way to throw away this years title challenge?

The Ferrari 70th Anniversary DLC will contain:

• 1962 250 GTO
• 1967 330 P4
• 1967 312/67
• 1984 288 GTO
• 2004 F2004
• 2017 812 Superfast
• Ferrari SF70H

The vote setup by Kunos pulled in over 30,000 responses before close of play yesterday, and not unsurprisingly the 2017 SF70H F1 car pulled in a substantial amount of votes more than second placed finisher, the 1970 512M. With 15.39% for the 2017 car in comparison to 11.41% for the 512M, it was always going to come down to the two "key" vehicles as voted for by the community.

Meh.

 

[protonv5]

Oh, I thought this was going to say "Day and Night Racing coming to Assetto Corsa" Or wait, I thought it was going to say "Variable/Changing weather coming to Assetto Corsa". Or perhaps I thought it was going to say "Full pit stop strategy/functionality coming to Assetto Corsa" . But no, it's another car.

It's a terrible winner. We already have a superb F1 2017 mod.

It's like when Robbie Williams' "Life Thru A Lens" was voted the 9th greatest album of all-time in the year after it's release.

 

[snyperal]

Hope it's got a big bumper for getting that silver car out the way.

@ everybody who is disappointed...
here you have most of the cars from the poll in a quite good quality, mostly with updated sound:

Really wanted the 575 gtc. It's too bad the majority wanted a fourth F1 car (sixth with rss mods). I can't help to feel a bit disappoined, even though the chance of the 575 winning the poll was slim. Now I hope someone makes a good mod for it.

- Not in the slightest!

Looking forward to the Ferrari pack?
- Yes, some decent cars in there.

Honestly, I'm a bit tired of all the Ferrari stuff. I guess most people aren't into it as much as me but I'd prefer some touring car sets. BTCC, WTCC or Seat Leon Cup. I know mods are available but still.

Every addition with new cars is always a good thing even if we don't quite get all that we wanted.

Console players can't play with some paid mod on PC... maybe take a look outside your box sometimes.

And I personally prefer official content over it.

goodbye my 512M and 333sp...

It's an Italian game, what do you expect, not putting any Ferrari in? The 70th anniversary of Ferrari is a great opportunity for them. There aren't that many Ferrari cars in the game in the first place, after this DLC there will still be more Porsche by some amount for example. They're iconic cars so IMO they absolutely have a place in the sim.

I wouldn't mind modern touring cars but I doubt we'll get a pack. Kunos said that they're not willing to pay extra for series licences and I believe RaceRoom already has the official series licences. TCR might be a possibility.

I really don't mind, as I do like having something official as opposed to a mod. I might have preferred the 333 SP, but since I didn't know about this vote at all, I can't really complain.

 

[Ghostracer7]

512M or 488 GTE would be a lot better and wiser decision. There is enough f1 cars already. It is fun to drive them sometimes but let say 512M or 488 GTE are more statisfying to drive and i would drive them a lot more than I will this SF70H.

 

[Ghostracer7]

We should vote again I mean.

No, the majority wanted something else than a 2017 F1 car.

When I saw that poll the first time announced (and immediately dialed 5…1…2…M ) I just could not see any other choice more clear and logical than that.
Any of the other cars simply was not as perfectly matching to:

- significantly improve content on it's very own merits
- improve the overall package
- make something available for the first time in unseen quality

There is no 512M mod. There is no 512M in any other racing sim available at current quality (I faintly remember a Playstation console Ferrari game with a 512S included but overall quality of that was sketchy at best).

When reading about another modern single F1 car having made the poll I simply could not believe such an outcome.


I am extremely disappointed.

Yeah me to, the 333SP was one of my favourite Sportscars (that V12 was glorious), would have been great to have seen it in the lineup

I was surprised about the Testarossa being so high in the list. Miami Vice fans anyone?
