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 End of the year hype ?
As every year, Kunos might be preparing some surprise announcement for December 31st. Last year 2015, we had Maserati & co. In 2014, we found out Lambos are joining the fun. As of now, we can consider those might be hard to beat. But is it ? All we have seen, is some mysterious screenshot from a british-nederlandish-city-like-track-ish.. Is there more in the cat's bag ? Or is Assetto Corsa going... -
AC Update Assetto Corsa Release 0.22 On Steam Early Access
As promised, Kunos "delivered" on 29th. A new verion which comes with a new car, a new track and some very consistent improvement and optimizations. Still a lot of things going behind the scenes, but as with every release, we are getting closer and closer to 1.0 version. Current milestone is set to a "candidate beta version" within some weeks. As we all know, terms like some, soon, couple of weeks, must be taken with a bit of salt when it comes to simracing or game developement in general . And yes of course, we all hope to be proven wrong when... -
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... -
Organisation and Decisions
The current planned date for the first race is beginning of October, hopefully all the important decisions will be clarified until then. Some of the main topics, are or will be opened for discussion shortly. But if anything you are interested in is not covered, feel free to ask, or even create a specific thread (in case you need feedback from other racers). -
NEWS End of the year, for them and for us.
Marco hinted at it even last year, but now the message is clear. Kunos is preparing for the future. The good news is that they are planning to build on this platform which means even better times are coming for simracing enthusiasts. The team is increasing, they are testing and looking at new technologies (let's not forget that AC is based on a pre-2011 graphic engine) and they will definitely (wishful thinking ? ) look to include the things community craved the most - rankings, night/day cycle, maybe... -
DLC Dreaming session #3
I don't know about you, but it seems time flies quite fast. In less than 2 weeks (Dec 15th, to be exact) a new Dream Pack should hit our wallets. The #3 already. With every new track release, Simone seems to get even better at it, as you can see for your self in the released preview video.
Too many details aren't available yet, but here is a first official statement:
Dear AC followers,
Kunos Simulazioni is proud to introduce the newest track developed for Assetto Corsa, the iconic Brands Hatch circuit,... -

AC Update Assetto Corsa v1.13
"It's better to be late, than to arrive ugly" - Darcy Gilmore
In today's special: some old news . But you know, it's still good to have a full history here, and maybe have a look on how AC evolved. For example when AC2 will be released . And while we're at it, let's make also a forecast - Assetto Corsa 2 will be out in 2021.
Anyhooo.. back to our subject-matter, update v1.13 was made available to download on Steam on March 22nd (wow, time flies), featuring the Mazda MX5 NA and the Mazda 787B as FREE bonus content. Most importantly though, v1.13 also... -
ACC Early Access - Release 4
Once again, Kunos keeps strictly to their announced schedule. Today is release day for update 0.4. Aside the multiple fixes and improvements, we have new content : the Ferrari 488 GT3 and the Hungaroring circuit. I would however NOT minimize one feature, very dear to my heart: Broadcasting Mode SDK to ACC - yes, broadcasting is definitely an important part of the current simracing movement. Notice the SDK part, because it's important. It marks the first "official" modding capabilities of ACC.
Ferrari 488 GT3
The racing versions of the 488... -

Here is the press release:
"Dear followers,

STREAM Live Coding Session with Kunos Stefano
About a week back, Stefano decided to do these live coding sessions where he fixes/implements different stuff in our favorite sim, while also having a conversation with the people watching. Today's episode (3rd one in the series) was a 'bit special, as it included a rather long Q&A session. And a Blackout .
Here are a few notes on the stuff I found interesting. It's not exactly quoting word-for-word, but no modification to the message itself was made .
Q: Do you have any plans for Assetto Corsa 2 ?
A: No plans. We as a company, work on short... -
DLC The Way Back Machine - AC v1.9 & Porsche Pack 1
Motto:
One day, we'll post news when they actually happen, I tell you .
Anyhooooo.. 1.9 update also marked the start of a very special period in AC development. The first officially licensed Porsches, Pack 1. After an exclusive deal that Porsche had with Electronic Arts (..and which lasted around 16 years ! around the release of the NFS Porsche game), the world of simracing is free again. And what better place to feel this than our favorite sim, Assetto Corsa.
Here is what Kunos had to say about it:
Respecting what is now a very long tradition at... -
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.... -
NEWS Back To Origins !
We'll get once more to have those sneak peaks in the development of our favorite sim, with the last announcement made by Kunos team. For every 1k Likes, a new set of images will find their way onto the Assetto Corsa Facebook page. So do share away !
"Dear AC followers,
With Assetto Corsa’s debut on Steam Early Access, we almost stopped sharing some of our WIP images from production (except for those which were close to released, oh, and of course the awesome pics created by our AC fans).
Now, with 30,000 genuine followers on Facebook, we have decided to reward you... -
STREAM A cat has 9 lives, so here's Season II
Stefano restarted his live streams, with a slightly different format - 2 different kind of episodes: Sundays, talk about features, information packed; Wednesday, 1 hr of coding oriented stream, like it used to be in the first season.
Stefano:
"It's nice to be back. It's the best period for me [just after the release of a major patch], because I'm allowed to break stuff and test. Feel excited and happy now, then close to the release it gets stressing"
So, what will the update 1.3 bring ?
64bit build ! - problem was linking the... -

DLC Bonus Pack 3
Time for some reheated news. But hey, at least is still this year. I would even go that far as saying it's still this month . Anyhoo.. just wanted to put into the timeline collection what probably was the last DLC for Assetto Corsa in its present form. Even though when it was announced, Laguna Seca should've come as a paid addition, activity at Kunos Simulazioni is in continuous transformation. Always listening to community, and probably to lay out a good base for the future development, decision was taken to...
