Formula Renault 3.5 Mod Released for Assetto Corsa

Chris · Aug 9, 2015

Modding group VirtuaSimulazioni have today released the highly anticipated and much sought-after Formula Renault 3.5 race car for Kunos Simulazioni's Assetto Corsa.

The attention to detail and accuracy of the physics, modeling and sound is up there with the official content that Kunos put out. As in real life, there are three aerodynamic variations to choose from in the form of 'Stepped' classes, with low, medium and high downforce packages. The mod also comes with 15 replica liveries from the real Formula Renault 3.5 series.

The Formula Renault 3.5 provides a much needed boost to the number of open wheel cars in Assetto Corsa, a sim that is largely dominated by road vehicles and GT race cars.

Download the Formula Renault 3.5 from our Resource Manager HERE! While you're there be sure to stay up to date with our clubs and leagues section for exciting races with this car, and post your awesome pictures and videos to our dedicated RaceTube media gallery!

Still unsure of this mod? You can check out our official video footage from an early morning test session around Silverstone!

This Mat Holloway is the best reason to give us back the disagree and thumbs down emoicons

Really awesome mod

I'll take my leave and bid you farewell.

I have had and never had any bias or comments at all about RD... ever!

I refer to my outreaching attempts to the AC modding community and the personal discussion that arose from those.

Multiple attempts with multiple modders, there is a theme and it is selfish.

You want staff to misconstrue a genuine community contributor and back you up.
You want staff to deny that the $150 toy you bought is equivalent to $3000 worth of kit?

Well good luck to you all and I hope enjoy living in your mediocrity. It is clear the chapel of RD is one of the closed of minds and bitter hearts.

No Matt RD is a broad church with room for all, I'm sure there others of your persuasion hereabouts and are welcome just as long as they recognise that not all will hold the same opinions. As a modder I respect you and am sorry you've had a bad experience with the AC modding community but it's not unreasonable to expect some kick back when you appear on an AC forum and and proclaim your favoured game over it. Some ecumenical dialogue is always welcome but a diatribe isn't.

Mat Holloway · Aug 12, 2015

I only ever responded to the topic and questions directed at me!
I did misconstrue the intended message of David's post which started my expression of modding here. Maybe too much but it certainly did not feel that way at the time.

Regardless, i"ll be chilling away from here for a while. It needs to happen.

This AC mod is getting tons of positive comments! I will have to DL and try it out this weekend.

I only see that one vid with the odd camera facing the pilot. The AC mod sounds nice. I will have to search around for more vids.

Anything between 70 and 100ºC is pretty good.

Karthik Pai · Aug 12, 2015

I do suspect it has very little to do with the mod and it's just ACs blandness.
I swear the fanboys of this sim have never driven a race car, or even seen one on TV the way they talk

Haha, if this is the first and last thing you want to say about modders who prefer AC, it's not hard to guess why people chose not to work with you.

For me though it's just a matter of, yes to games I can try it, no to games I can't. I don't want it released as crap, with my name on it. So it's not meant to be rude to a specific game, but I happen to not own RF2 so I'd turn down offers from that direction by default.

where are you downloading this from? watch out don't click on any ads that look like download and which isn't. Or the zipped file asks for a password?

Good info David, thanks.

What about the tyre duration? For how many laps they will keep some decent grip in a track like SPA? I guess it will also depend of the car config (L,M,H) downforce levels.

From here , above. It says make purchase, or if already registered enter the code ... or cancel. But i figure it out and its all fine now.

But when i download this file its an exe file like installation. And when i click that it says what i have written. I changed that into .rar and it was fine.

Great Mod judging by my initial test-drive, nice work indeed!

Jake Fangio · Aug 13, 2015

Empt Box has done a nice review of it on YouTube.

Ville-Samuli Mutanen · Aug 13, 2015

This mod clearly is a must have. FFB is propably the most communicative I've felt so far in simracing. And no oscillation with my DD system..

Not my style of car but it's still a masterpiece and I've had so much fun with it! Thank you, everyone involved!
