Kunos Simulazioni have revealed the very first images of the upcoming Intercontinental GT Challenge pack for ACC - Kyalami!

Kunos recently revealed their Assetto Corsa Competizione racing simulation will be expanding upon the Blancpain GT Series already featured in the title, confirming to the world that the epic Intercontinental GT Series will be added to the title in the near future - and with it new liveries and some incredible new laserscanned circuits.

One of those tracks, currently hosting a 9 Hour endurance epic this weekend, is the South African venue of Kyalami.

Famous for hosting a number of Formula One Grand Prix, the last of which was the 1993 South African Grand Prix won by Williams Renault driver Alain Prost, Kyalami has gone through a number of face lifts and alterations over the years - and soon we will get to try the 2019 variation of this woefully under appreciated track!

Joining up with fellow big name circuits Suzuka, Mt. Panorama and Laguna Seca, the Intercontinental GT Challenge pack looks set to be a nice addition to ACC - we just don't quite know when it will be released yet.

Just because it was on a survey sent to teams, doesnt mean the circuit is appropriate for the high speed, multi-class racing. Its barely wide enough to overtake at some points.

I think the wet quali session is enough evidence of the fact that this track isnt suitable for WEC. Im all for the category visiting different tracks, however Kyalami isnt suitable

How would you know - you actually driven the real circuit since the updates from its new owners?

Kyalami remains iconic - regardless and the new layout is a real challenge believe me
 
This is only a Grade 2 fia circuit, so i dont see how WEC would be able to go there? Pitlane isnt big enough for the WEC Grid mind you
What is it with you and Kyalami? - Ever been there at all ??
Grade 2 allow for anything to race there accept F1 and even that is within reach any time soon. The modern main pit area has space for 40 cars (not sure why the AC 2016 version allow for only 30??) on top of that the secondary pits at the top end of the circuit can easily cater for ANOTHER 40 slots. During Extreme Fesival events the past 2 years, we have used BOTH main and top pit areas for the competitors.
After a visit by all the top nobs of FIA and F1 and Liberty Media, the minor changes required to have a Grade 1 licence is subjected to track owner (Toby Venter/Porsche SA) getting a 5 year commitment from F1 as we have just done with the Intercontinental GT series for the 9HOUR.
