Kunos Simulazioni have dropped a very surprising new update to the original Assetto Corsa simulation recently... adding new liveries and.... potentially a new car!

Yup, you heard it right - a new car looks like it is heading to Assetto Corsa in the not too distant future. According to reports, the small and surprise build update for Assetto Corsa that crept onto Steam today contains a collection of new liveries for the special edition Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO car, plus some files that suggest the BMW M2 CS Racing may well be made available to players of the title in the near future.

Firstly, let's talk about the Ferrari liveries. As many of you will probably know, the Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO joined the simulation last year as part of the Ferrari Esport Series, and with preparations in full swing for the new series of the championship, Ferrari hosted a special edition one off 'All Stars Esport Racing Night' with various famous names from the world of racing taking part in the action out on track. With the event now complete, Kunos have taken the decision to release the liveries from the race to the main Assetto Corsa game, adding some nice additional depth to the field for this awesome car.

Fun fact, I was in the comms box for that race, alongside Charles Leclerc and Valentino Rossi!!!

In regard to the more surprising bit of news from this latest build, according to several reports the small update also added a folder within the game director called “ks_bmw_m2cs_racing” - although the folder is currently empty, this new bit of news very strongly suggests Kunos are in the midst of releasing a new car for the first time in quite a while - and a very interesting track machine at that.

So there you have it folks - life in the old dog yet!


Assetto Corsa is available now on both PC and console.

To be honest, if you haven't driven the latest version of Guerilla Mods BMW (latest meaning from a few months ago, maybe its been updated), I doubt theres anything to miss here.
Long ago I wouldn't be saying it, but their physics, model work etc are right up there with RSS levels today.

Hell, maybe the Guerilla team is assisting Kunos if this ever comes to fruition. :D

they physics is 100% copy of kunos , .. so yeah, it's up there .. ahah! thanks
 
Well, one of the devs said it was a little mistake. They are building some cars for clients still, some make it to public - like the KTM and Ferrari - some don't. That's because building is one part, licensing the other. At the moment it is not planned to release the BMW publically. The folder just slipped through on accident.
That being said, it was originally not planned to release the Ferrari either, so who knows what might happen, just don't get your hopes up too high.
