BLOG Assetto Corsa - A new journey !
I was reading about Assetto Corsa quite some time before it was launched, and didn’t really know what to think.. I am an LFS’er from 2004 or so, and even though I have enjoyed the “usual suspects” (rF, GTR, GTR2, Race07, …) I never could really get into other sim than LFS. It was the only one that seemed credible enough for my brain.. the only one where the cars were (almost always) really doing what I would expect’em to do..
..and then came Tech Preview, February 2013, and I was sold.
It only took me a few minutes in the Lotus Elise @Magione, to realize... -
NEWS netKar Pro to become Freeware
Yes, you read that right. In a series of tweets, Stefano Casillo (the lead programmer over at Kunos) announced that on December 1st, 2015 the multiplayer lobby of netKar Pro will be shutdown, and the software will become available as freeware (and no longer supported).
Until then, the license verification was already deactivated, which means that if you have a pay code you can share it with friends and the product will get activated for unlimited time.
For those of you that don't know what nK is, I'll say only this: it's beyond... -
DLC Ferrari 70th Anniversary Pack, September 19th
Yes, it's happening. A little out of the blue, the latest DLC for Assetto Corsa will be released on September 19th. Again, we'll be seeing a mixed pack of cars, one of which we all voted for. Ahm.. well, sort of saying. I didn't . That's the current F1 car, the Ferrari SF70H. (if you wish to have a look back at the poll results, you can; here).
The other models in the pack are:

NEWS Pack Of 6 Cobras Skinned Alive, By Nwrap
New member @NWRAP shared a great pack of skins for the @the_meco's Shelby Cobra. Check them skins out in the AC Skins category. What I love is that every skin has a story behind and they all come from "that" era . There's
A 1963 Canadian GP Shelby Cobra as driven by Ken Miles
Then a 1973 Shelby Cobra 427 as driven by Sam Feinstein
A 1965 Essex Wires Shelby Cobra Replica
A skin "based on the car from Spinout... -
NEWS Porsche Pack 3 - plot twist
No, release date didn't change . However, it seems that the reproduction of the 911 RSR 2017 turned out to be a little more complex than initially thought. And as the release date for PP3 is next week, the team decided to do a backflip and give it proper love. Until January.
Ok, then what do we get ? Good question. We get (as the community asked a lot actually) the 911 Turbo S, as part of the PP3. And when the RSR will be ready, we'll get that too, for "free". As part of PP3. A very good deal if you ask me. Oh, you didn't.. Well, now that I've said it, can't take it back.... -
DLC Porsche Pack 3 & AC v.1.11
Mid-week release for Porsche Pack 3, so time might be scarce for trying it out. However little time you have though, it worth's giving the new toys a spin. Porsche Pack Volume 3 follows the first two DLC packs dedicated to the Porsche brand, introducing a selection of seven different vehicles. The pack places an emphasis on modern-day Porsche racing cars, including the entire 991 GT3 racing line and the latest 2016 Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid, while also featuring two of the German brand’s most iconic racing cars, the 908 Lang-Heck and 917 K.
Volume 3 also brings players one of... -

NEWS The Long Week Ahead :)
Last few days (one might add in sync with the real racing calendar) Kunos played again with its fans (us), sharing some really great shots of the presumably work-in-progress Spa Francochamps circuit. It's gonna be a long week until Friday, as nobody yet knows what the build on 29th brings:
- improved graphics ?
- the long-awaited Spa ?
- other goodies ?
Whatever it brings (or not) I am nothing less than admirative to the energy this small studio is spreading.
Here are the said screens

NEWS Mini-bonus pack incoming ?
Marco is at work again. Distributing free tickets for the hype train. It's not exacly clear when it is due to pass by the train station, but we do know it's supposed to happen in February. This was probably even more encouraged, since the Porsche RSR 2017 still needs (waits ?) for some data from the manufacturer, in order to represent it at its best.
Slightly ironical, here's what Marco had to say replying to one of the comments regarding this "delay":
Definitely I'm not sorry. We release cars... -
REGULAMENT
Bine ai venit si iti multumesc ca ai rezervat cateva minute pentru a citi acest topic.
Cuvant inainte:
Regulamentul de fata e scris pentru a puncta cateva principii de baza privind organizarea campionatului si conduita pe circuit. Insa nu e menit sa acopere toate situatiile posibile si nici sa sperie pilotii inscrisi.

Bunul simt si fair-play-ul fiecaruia raman cele mai importante ingrediente pentru reusita curselor.

NEWS Let the guessing game begin
When we thought that a period of calm will follow after the last update, well.. Kunos is back at it (us?) again. A mysterious message appeared on the FB today:
What does it mean ? When visiting the official website, there is not much info either. Just a counter to know exactly how much longer the wait is. Kunos made sort of a habit to surprise their user base with big announcements (Laser-scanned Nordschleife, Ferrari license, Lamborghini license, Porsche license, etc) and in one of the last interviews... -
