NEWS Assetto Corsa (big) News
This has just been posted by Kunos, on their blog. Those that follow closely the development had an idea about it, but nobody new exactly what was going on. An awesome surprise nevertheless, and this will definitely give a new push to the sim. Here's the complete article:

NEWS Dream Pack getting closer
While there's still no announced date for the Dream Pack release (other than Q1 2015), we are definitely getting closer. The teasing increased lately on their FB page, and some hints are being published by the devs on their personal accounts. Like the one from Luca, on Feb/19: "1.15am - #AssettoCorsa Dev Team and Betatesters are doing a GREAT job together on the incoming update. Hold on! The best is yet to come!". Good news and bad news in the same time, because we can see them cars and roads, but we... -
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... -
Security risk
Dear forumers,
In the last days an increased spam activity was observed on the forum. Some of the accounts were newly created, but some were old accounts. For the latter, one can assume they were "cracked" due to weak/common passwords. In case you are one of the accounts with "123456" or the like password, we strongly recommend changing it.
Please note that any account posting spam will be deleted without notice and so will the messages associated with that account.
Sorry for the potential inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. -

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... -

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... -

Look What The Cat Hacked In - S2E06 - Teenage Dreams
In this episode of Look What The Cat Hacked In... Stefano wins a race. Stefano rage-quits a race. Stefano thinks about Aris' sleep hours.
All joking and Top Gear references aside, everyone dreamt about the Countach in their teenage years, didn't they? Well, I'm actually too young to know that, but it has to be this way. This car is the definition of awesome!
Good thing that Kunos showed it in today's episode of the Look What The Cat Hacked In, along with the Audi R8 LMS Ultra and the GT40. And where will you see... -
BLOG Kunos is human !

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,... -
NEWS Assetto Corsa Vows Renewal & a New Trailer
With the release date closing in, the team over at Kunos, released another cool trailer to showcase the console version of Assetto Corsa. We say console version, but other than the fact of running on consoles, there is nothing less about it, compared to the PC version. However, we all know (and interact) on the Internet, so you might be aware of 2 general concerns:
1/ that the game's strong point - the physics simulation - will be toned down in the console version
2/ once that is done, the PC version will follow also, in order... -

Look What The Cat Hacked In - S2E04 - Let's race
Is it Sunday yet? If so, it's Look What The Cat Hacked In time! This time 'round, Stefano shows us the new Barcelona by racing against the AI (and it looks very good indeed!) and talks about the updated tyre model, latest AI improvements and the upcoming 1.3 version of the game.
Wednesday's stream depends on how work will go. If Stefano finds something that he could hack/build in one hour or so, the stream will happen. Next Sunday Stefano will have a look at programming languages in general and how you can get into... -
NEWS A Partnership That We'll Feel
We usually hear about all kinds of partnerships between different companies along a project. And usually they will be financially oriented. This time however, we'll hopefully get to "feel" the benefits of the latest collaboration announced. That's because, aside from the material RSR Nurburg will be probably providing, they also have a great deal of experience with the said cars and the feedback they can give about the behavior in real life could really push Assetto Corsa towards that last drop of authenticity. Time will tell.
"Dear AC followers,
We are pleased to... -
NEWS What is going on behind the scenes ?
A parallel world is getting ready to be launched at Kunos ? It would seem like almost every aspect of the game has been touched in the intention of pushing the sim a 'bit more towards its limits. Bring it ON, I say !

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
