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!

Assetto Corsa, available now for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.



Bonus Pack 3 DLC releases for free to PC on December 20th, with console to follow shortly afterwards.

It's downloading for me already, and they announced the release on the official forums.

@Paul Jeffrey Well done on the very nice stream, plenty of very interesting information gathered from Aris while driving in your PJ's

Really looking forward to trying out the new cars at Laguna, along with plenty of other cars. It's a real shame that I probably won't get time until tomorrow or Friday.

By then there'll already be a ton of skins made... No doubt!

I love all of DLC’s in Assetto Corsa. But now I use PS4 version only and game itself needs more attention than new DLC IMHO. Dear devs, please see us - PS4 users.

 

[Mr Latte]

Enjoyed the interview video, looking forward to this and nice mix of cars.

Steam has just started updating AC for me here in the UK...and yes I can confirm the pack has installed.

Good timing as I just finished making this video of the Sesto Elemento at Laguna Seca for a direct comparison.

I'm looking forward to trying the AC version but I've got to say the PCARS2 version certainly feels good, lots of weight transfer feeling, certainly like a powerful road car on track, quite tricky to get stopped and turned in and a handful with too much throttle on the exit. It'll be interesting trying them back to back.

Oh boy, the update is live now!

 

[MarcG]

anyone else getting texture flickering in the dials of the new cars?

 

[Maximilian Hinter]

No, but apart from the Giulia and the Tipo i cant enjoy the rest of the cars, the recycled sounds are just awful

 

[BenCollins]

Laguna Seca is lovely as expected, but the laser-scanning is a bit of a joke. There's no real difference to the Laguna Seca mod that was in progress here on RD, no surprises at all.

Be interested in opinions on this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's pointless, but the actual difference to a lidar-modded track I cannot see at all.

WIP

 

[BenCollins]

Both Alfa Romeos are wonderful cars.

 

[XRRoy]

Two new cars that no one has mentioned before:

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (Although I was thinking about Centenario...)
Maserati Alfieri Concept (Drove this thing around the ring, God the handling is disgusting.)

 

[BenCollins]

The fact its free is pretty amazing. They could have easily charged for this. Well done Kunos, you've won over a major fan here over the last year, so many great cars and tracks added.

Roll on 2018 and what you've got in store for us.

I also get significant FPS impact on this one, the same setting I can run the Ring @65~90FPS, but I get only 40~55 with Laguna Seca; I can't tell why a track covered with sand and barely has any vegetation has such a huge hardware consumption, compare to a much larger track that is fully covered with trees and grass.

I personally did not like mod version of Laguna. It was way to bumby and so not enjoyable to me, as I know the iRacing version and knew that the mod was wrong regarding the bumpyness. The layout itself and graphics were fine, no question.

On the Kunos version I think the aspahlt does not resemble the original colours. Looks awfull to me.

That is due to the track drawing objects in distance unfortunately.

Do to its massive elevation changes you will notice coming out of corkscrew you will see the rest of the track in distance which obviously kills frames.

I don't think there is much that can be done from their side the textures seem standard KS as usual.

For me is the contrary, have huge differences.

On sad note that change log.

Confirms that AC is no longer being developed

Thanks for the track and content.

Hopefully you guys are working on sequel.

I missed that bit? Where?
Assetto Corsa 2 next year then, could explain the free cars and track.
