Assetto Corsa Competizione | Laguna Seca Looking Pretty!

[Paul Jeffrey]

The previews continue! Kunos Simulazioni have been at it again today, showing off pre-release images from new Assetto Corsa Competizione content - this time, Laguna Seca!

Known and loved by anyone who spent far too much of their formative years playing the Gran Turismo franchise (myself included), Laguna Seca has been home to many a fine race in its long and illustrious 63 year history; and in the near future it will be arriving in Assetto Corsa Competizione as part of the upcoming Intercontinental GT Challenge DLC.

2.238 miles of circuit that includes the legendary 'Corkscrew' ribbon of tarmac, Laguna is a short, technical and massively rewarding circuit - one that should prove to be a very nice combination alongside the new cars of the Intercontinental GT pack... oh, and it looks great in game too!

Missed the earlier previews? No worries, check them out below:

• Bathurst: Part 1 | Part 2
• Suzuka: Part 1 | Part 2
• Kyalami: Part 1

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC. Intercontinental GT Pack release date has yet to be confirmed.

Want to ask our community a question about the sim? No worries, head over to the ACC sub forum and start a new thread today!

Can't wait! We need more North American tracks in sim racing. It would be great if the entire IMSA championship was in a sim. Just the choice of tracks alone would be worth it: Daytona, Watkins Glen, Sebring, Mosport, Road America, Road Atlanta... I know some of these tracks are in other sims, but to have them all in one game, with the IMSA cars, would be awesome.

We now have a release day for AMS 2 beta and it's very close! Kunos might want to hurry up and release this as my time is going to AMS 2 as soon as it's available and I'll leave my $ in my wallet then.

What does have AMS2 have to do with ACC DLC?

Totally different content.

I buy both.

 

[Cote Dazur]

New tracks for ACC? Anytime.

very nice combination alongside the new cars of the Intercontinental GT pack...

New cars? Is Paul simply referencing the new liveries for the series, or are there some surprises coming?

I'm 99,9% sure it's new liveries only, unless I missed something.

I'm thinking it's just liveries. However there were a number of national entries running car models that aren't in the title currently. Dev has said that they aren't adding these national entries, but they also said the 720s wasn't coming, even close to when it was released. You never know

It has quite a lot to do with where my time will go and if AMS 2 is out I won't have time to touch 4 new tracks in a GT3 sim when I have 25+ tracks in an open sim! Kunos DLC will go on sale by the time I have time to play it

AMS2 will be delayed again to fix the go kart physics

Honestly, I would be more excited if I could find a server that hosted anything but Monza, (yes, hyperbole but racers seem to think the only track worth racing on is Monza...again more hyperbole but you get the drift). As it is I have a hard time finding races that have more than a few racers, unless, of course it is Monza (not hyperbole).

It is a great sim that no one seems to really care about.

I will get it, because I would like to see Kunos develop more for us, but my initial hopes for this sim are waning.

I noticed that too. Matter of fact Monza is on the bottom of my list of tracks I raced in ACC so far. I find it rather boring compared to other tracks in the list. Matter of fact I raced only once online so far - at all. Do I count as "not caring" now?
Jokes aside, since my ACC Career will bring me to Monza 3h event next, I better start training to get my lines right. Maybe I should start playing online now, since Monza seems to be the thing there.

As for the DLC: I would think this was the last bunch of preview pictures. My money is on a release on the weekend or by tuesday next week.

The Bathurst 12h is this weekend, so KUNOS will release it right on time. I guess.

I hope so!
But I'm afraid we won't see it before the race

*Insert the "still hoping for the Nordschleife surprise" post here*

But honestly: Please stop teasing, start releasing, we are simracers, we're never satisfied, we want to moan about the next thing!

 

[MarcG]

Oh come, you get what I mean - all this teasing is pissing me off. Yeah I'll buy it, but rather than a wow purchase it'll now be a big sigh from me, and then a "oh look it's finally available" purchase.

If it's pissing you off then maybe don't read the news sites? It's not rocket science, just ignore them and you'll be pleasantly surprised when something is released...simples

And insert "I hope the VR performance gets fixed" comment too. I would because I do, but I know it's getting dull...

I think ACC is a good way for some of them to develop the necessary base for AC2, with a product that does not compete directly with AC, and they will even obtain financing for the future, when they deplete the contents of ACC Dlcs it will be the ideal time to focus on the new project, with much of the work already done

I'm not a VR user, but i still second that, because, when i was trying VR (my first experience with it even was "just" the PSVR), it was NEXT LEVEL SH*T! I have never experienced something like this on a video game environment before, so just imagine ACC with decent settings, sitting in the cockpit of a Lexus RCF, growling your head dizzy, while approaching the corkscrew downhill with full code brown, looking at the cornering marker on the nearby tree.

I'm more and more excited for the ICGT pack...wasn't hyped at all at first, but i want it more and more

 

[JPL083]

It would be great to release this package at this time with Bathurst 12h. So could immitate with that, plz god make it happen But Seca looking good also

 

[budgetek]

AMS2 will be delayed again to fix the go kart physics

Exactly what I think as well. Another delay.

 

[Zoltan76]

The release date is 5th of February I guess.
All updates and the final release came out on Wednesdays and the Bathurst 12h is on this weekend.

 

[o Tiger Feet o]

All updates and the final release came out on Wednesdays

I think the Wednesday thing is abit of a myth given the last big update 1.2 came out on a Tuesday. But Wednesday fable will still be passed down generation after generation
(Ok most other updates came out on Wednesday, but whos interested in facts and small print these days)

I say give Thursday a chance Kunos! This Thursday....
