'Assetto Corsa' (ALL) Free PC Bonus Pack Coming Next Week - Trailer

by Rainier on March 24, 2016 @ 9:39 a.m. PDT

Assetto Corsa is a racing game designed to provide a very realistic driving experience, with single player and multiplayer options, officially licensed cars and tracks developed using the highest level of accuracy possible in reproducing real world motor racing environments.

Assetto Corsa is regarded as one of the most authentic racing simulators on the market. Aptly branded “Your Racing Simulator,” Assetto Corsa ups the simulation stakes by emphasizing and focusing on pure physics realism, with precision accuracy across every aspect from the meticulous car handling to the laser-measured tracks.

The standout stars of the game are of course the cars themselves; Assetto Corsa has partnered with the most prestigious automotive manufacturers to license life-like models of the genre’s biggest stars, from Ferrari to Fiat, from McLaren to Mercedes-Benz, and Automobili Lamborghini to Lotus Cars.

Players are able to further deepen their playing experience by adjusting the handling and race set-up of each and every car in-game, whereby cars can be individually tuned to cater for your personal racing style. The overall racing experience can be further modified by adjusting everything from driver attributes to collision damage, to deliver a thrilling and true racing experience. All of these features together breed the realism that Assetto Corsa is known and celebrated for.

The game’s first bonus content of 2016 is highlighted by the launch of a hot new trailer, featuring a high performance Corvette C7 Stingray and Ford Mustang battling it out for road supremacy, before a face-off with the game’s latest addition, a nice, "little" surprise from Kunos's development team.   The special spaghetti western-style trailer also gives a first-look at the picturesque new “Black Cat County” track, which will be added to the simulator in three configurations as part of the free PC Bonus Pack update.   A category defining racing simulator, Assetto Corsa features spectacular realism which has upped stakes by emphasizing and focusing on pure physics realism, with precision accuracy across every aspect from the meticulous car handling to the laser-measured tracks.

The "little surprise"will be available in the console version at launch, and the Corvette C7 Stingray and Ford Mustang are available as part of the ‘Prestige Pack’ pre-order incentive at select retailers.

Key Features:

  • Over one hundred high-performance  cars, including the Team Lotus 98T, the Pagani Zonda R, the Ferrari LaFerrari, the Mercedes C9 and the McLaren 650S GT3
  • Over twenty different track configurations, including famed courses such as Silverstone Circuit, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Autodromo Nazionale Monza, and Nürburgring-Nordschleife
  • Single and Multiplayer racing modes, with customizable Race Weekends, preset Challenges or full-scale Career Mode
  • Refined race-craft AI, with up to twenty-four cars competing for the podium places in the PC version of the game

Assetto Corsa is currently available for PC download via Steam.
