Assetto Corsa Competizione | More Bathurst Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

Talk about looking epic....

... these new preview images of the Mount Panorama Circuit from the upcoming Assetto Corsa Competizione Intercontinental GT Pack DLC look simply breathtaking.

Set to feature Bathurst, Laguna Seca, Suzuka and Kyalami as part of a four-strong set of new circuits for the simulation, Kunos Simulazioni have today released a batch of new preview screens from the work-in-progress version of Bathurst within the sim, showing off the iconic mountain circuit in a variety of weather and time-of-day conditions.

As a further bonus, the new images revealed today also showcase some of the new Intercontinental GT Series liveries that are set to be included in the pack, the first time we've seen the cars in game since Kunos announced the new DLC in late 2019.

Looking good?


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!

Those pics of the wet Bathurst track are wishful thinking! Middle of a 3 year drought, it's brown, brown and more brown.

Looks really good, cool to see all the Bathurst specific liveres! I imagine that means we'll see the correct liveries/banners/etc. on a race by race basis for each track which is awesome.

In regards to the poll, Bathurst is one of my favorite tracks in the world, but I'm actually more excited for a rendition of Kyalami up to ACC standards, considering how little attention it receives in other sims.

I really hope at least GT4 is on the way. They are still a class that is rarely done right and a full grid of GT4s will be fantastic.

 

[Sman]

Struth!!!

 

[Wolfzz]

I'm so excited it looks fantastic, hopefully we don't have to wait too much longer for the release.
Keep up the great work Kunos.

11mm today, 5mm yesterday,10mm on Wednesday, 38mm in total this month....

Sure it will still be brown, But that's enough to wet the track....

 

[RJL]

Any chance on a release prior to this years' Bathurst 12 Hour? Anyone hear anything about a release date?

 

[LibranRabbit]

Must add a Kangaroo that decides to randomly jump onto the track while racing.

 

[LibranRabbit]

Please add Nordschleif, that would then make this sim untouchable and the bar would be set very high.

 

[JERACERX]

I'm hoping the MARC Cars can work their way into the pack with Bathurst, along with the other invitational cars like the Lotus GT300 at Suzuka throughout the season

 

[Mikec87]

Please don't screw up the trees and make them look like something from Europe. But they will......

 

[RichardHessels]

Looks great....

Anyone else hope they update the audio to fix how low the sound of other cars is.

You think in real life you would hear anything else than your drivetrain/gearbox whining and your own engine?

That depends on the cars, Id like the option to be able to increase/decrease the sound for "immersion" purposes as currently, it is far too low.

expect unexpected then

4 more laser scanned tracks, with very accurate details, in gorgeous UE4 lighting and changing weather to discover and race with those wonderful ACC GT3 cars! This VR driver is pumped and ready for action. What a fantastic way to start my 2020 SIM year.

 

[ShredatorFIN]

Suzuka and Brathurst are some of the best tracks out there for sure. Especially Barthust benefits from laserscanning because pretty much all mod versions or official non-scanned version of that track (in all sims) are wrong... the elevations are near impossible to get right without laser data

Suzuka is very expensive license (similarly to Monaco) too, I remember Marco Massarutto saying that it's his favourite track and they negotiated with Suzuka to get it for Assetto Corsa 1, but it was way too expensive license. He must be happy now, when Kunos finally got it. One of the Holy Grails of track licensing (Automobilista uses it under a fake name Kansai, to avoid the license cost)

ACC is still unplayable under VR with my high performance system (i9@5ghz, 2080ti), maybe with next generation 3080ti in summer

If you are using a Rift then it’s an Oculus issue. I have lost probably 40% performance since the last update (December ish). Please lodge support tickets with Oculus if it’s a rift

Bathurst is gonna ROCK!

ACC is still unplayable under VR with my high performance system (i9@5ghz, 2080ti), maybe with next generation 3080ti in summer

It's perfectly fine on my i9 with 2070Super (WMR, Reverb).

Edit: well not perfectly but easily raceable against a decent sized AI field in differing weather conditions... playable!

 

[Sonoafafayon]

Yeah there's a current issue with the Oculus, you need to roll back to the previous update.
