Assetto Corsa Japanese Car Pack DLC Due 18th May

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos Simulazioni have released 3 new teaser images of the upcoming Japanese DLC for racing simulator Assetto Corsa.

Scheduled for release on May 18th, the Japanese DLC pack will contain a number of new vehicles from the land of the rising sun.

According to earlier blog posts from Kunos, the new pack could contain both the road and race version of the Mazda MX-5, the Mazda RX-7, the 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo, the Nissan GT-R 34, the Toyota Supra in three versions, and the Toyota AE-86 in two versions.

Although Kunos also stated the first-generation Miata and the legendary Mazda 787B will be made available within the game at a future date, no indication regarding their inclusion in this new pack has been made.

The 3 new preview shots give us our first sight of a Toyota Supra and Nissan GTR which one must assume will form part of the new DLC package.

Previously mentioned licencing agreements with Toyota for the creation of Lemans challenger the TS040 could prove to be early indications of additional content in the new pack, but nothing official has be released by the studio.

New content is always good news for a racing simulator and Japan is well noted for its array of epic road and race cars, so lets keep our fingers crossed that this new DLC contains plenty of entertaining cars to keep us on the edge of our seats when it is release later this month.

While we await more news, lets do some speculating in the comments to keep ourselves amused...

I just remembered something I would love to see in Assetto Corsa, after playing a bit of GTR2...
Flag marshalls! (is it the real name in English? lol)
It would add some life and realism around the tracks.

well marshals are there but they dont currently do anything apart from standing around questioning their career choices. It would help with immersion though

I think the only recent sim that has them is RF2?

Well, at Monza, Variante Ascari, the marshal acts as a braking reference, so that's something, lol

I use him too, but we must be careful, if he decides to take a smoke break one day we will miss the apex by a mile and eat gravel, Don't use shadows either, it moves with the sun, lol..............

well with Kunos you never really know .. but Brake temps, VR support, probably another TM, custom championships (rather in simplified form) and I don`t wanna go too crazy but even option to select your livery in MP race are almost certainly probably possible adepts to be considered as features that might have a chance to be able to make it eventualy into the game ... maybe

Soon™

I don`t wanna go too crazy but even option to select your livery in MP race

I think that was in the poll as a joke, you can already select your livery in MP and almost nobody voted for it

 

[Davidbillmanoy]

I'm hoping for a Silvia. If they add Dori's 180SX like they did to Miata and 787B, then I'm okay with that because 180SX is Silvia.

 

[dghfd]

Oh yes, I need this in my life! More JDM!

 

[randMracer]

If it's at a reasonable price, which they usually are, I'll grab it. Wish they would do like a 1990 240SX also. That would be awesome.

 

[Teguh Waluyo]

Bring this beauty, I'll throw my money.

Because they will prioritize Civic over NSX lol

I would love sparkles too! Specially when cars go down "Eau Rouge"...
