Laguna and Cars - More Assetto Corsa DLC Previews Released

[Paul Jeffrey]

Check out these incredible new Bonus Pack 3 preview images and video ahead of the big launch tomorrow..

Thanks to the generosity of the guys behind at Kunos Simulazioni, players of Assetto Corsa will tomorrow be getting their hands on seven new high performance road cars and a laser scanned version of the incredible Laguna Seca Raceway as free additional content, and to help celebrate the build up to this momentous occasion Kunos have just swamped the internet with a bunch of awesome looking new preview images!

Scheduled to hit the PC version of Assetto Corsa tomorrow and with console players expected to receive the content early 2018, the new cars and circuit look simply resplendent in these latest preview images, really showcasing the very best of what Assetto Corsa is able to produce graphically.

Alongside what are very strong looking visuals are seven hugely different and equally entertaining cars to drive, each featuring their own unique little nuances that make getting under the skin of the Bonus Pack 3 content a driving pleasure. From golden oldies like the Alfa 33 to a high tech concept car from Maserati, fans of performance road going machines really have a little of something to enjoy in this upcoming new pack..

Fancy taking a much closer look at the upcoming bonus pack DLC with physics developer Aristotelis Vasilakos? No worries, we have you covered!

Can't wait even if I have to race on a flat screen for the time being (eeewww), half-day at work as well which is handy, looking forward to it all.

One of my old Saab clients recently purchased a brand new, fully-loaded Giulia.
It is one nice piece of kit.
I look forward to driving this in simulation.

Totally loving all this track signage , I wished the other scanned tracks was so detailed sometimes feels a little empty , really brings the tracks to life! Awesome work here by Marco with this license

Can't wait to fly out of the corkscrew corner and die in an epic fireball!

modedit: profanity removed

What? What I wrote as profanity? I don't remember what I wrote but I can't say anything negative about this free DLC so please don't lie to the people.

 

[Helmut Skrdla]

That's one of the best looking tracks in any race sim I've seen recently.

Something interesting in this DLC!
I will buy it...
Oh wait, it's free

Kunos, I know it's great to get free content, but I know all the AC fans would gladly pay for it.
You deserve to be payed for all this work, don't make bad habits. At least 1€ as a symbolic value for everyone to know that things in life don't come for free.

Looks great!

 

[Nico]

Does anyone knows when this will be avaliable?

Also, the cars and track will come in an update, or you'll have to grab them from Steam like if it was a regular DLC but for free? I've checked the Steam store and there's no sign of another DLC yet to be unlocked, so I believe it will be an update.

The cars and track will be part of the update and should go live in the next 2-5 hours. Here is the tentative changelog as shared by @kunos in the official forum:

Most car races in real life are empty. Look at almost any racetrack in the EU that's not F1, DTM, 24H or Moto GP and you see empty grandstands. Bit of crowd at S/F that's it.

if only the rear end looked like this

This Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Looks Like It Ate Another Giulia

So no new developments then on the coding side, which I guess does point to or confirm that development has stopped on AC at least from a game design point of view. Not that I think that’s a bad thing per se, I am just looking forward to what comes next. Will there still be an xmas / new year announcement like previous years?

 

[Celestiale]

Lambo and Maserati look horrid. What were there designers thinking?
Looking forward to drive them anyhow

 

[Tberg]

Finally, a new official track! New cars are welcome, but it feels kindda sad that Laguna might be the last official track for AC1
Though, now I'm really exited by that rumoured end-of-year announcement!!!

Remember when the BMW M6 GT3 was coming in 2017? I love having an official Leguna Seca track but I'd prefer having race cars instead of more street cars.

I thought that it was a problem with all the mods I have installed.

 

[XRRoy]

Guys... it's 21:40 on 20th here, still no update whatsoever? Don't make me wait until 21st?

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

If the update is on the same time table as the majority of them it won't be available for another 2-4 hours.
