Assetto Corsa Reveals The Latest Masterpiece: The Red Pack

Assetto Corsa has been hyping up their latest DLC pack, and now it’s finally here! The Red Pack contains strictly Italian cars, along with a massive update to the game, V1.7. This is good news for the console version which Kunos has already scored a deal with Porsche.

Before we get into the pack, I would like to point out a few features in the free update. Firstly, the Maserati Levante was added for free with the update, which is the first SUV for the game. It sounds and drives amazingly, I recommend you give it a try! Also, I will include the list of features that come with the update at the end of the article.

It has arrived, the long awaited Red Pack! This DLC is available in the steam store for $9.99 US dollars. It includes 7 glorious Italian cars, and here is the full list:

-Ferrari 488 GT3
-Ferrari F138
-Ferrari SF15-T
-Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV
-Maserati 250F 6 Cylinder
-Maserati 250F 12 Cylinder
-Maserati Gran Turismo MC GT4

Ferrari’s F138 and SF15-T further expand the game’s open-wheel roster, while Ferrari’s 2015 F1 car has been meticulously modeled to include all the features the real F1 car has. Kunos has gone to the length to include MGU-K, MGU-H, batteries, energy deployment and recovery limits, engine braking, active rear braking torque and more.

Another addition in the pack is an offset but still a great track, the Red Bull Ring in Australia. Originally built in 1969 as the Österreichring, the track hosted the F1 Grand Prix from 1970-1987 before being shortened and rebuilt due to growing safety concerns. It’s appearance in Assetto Corsa is good to hear about, and nice to see some variety coming to the game.

I hope you liked the overview of the latest update, and I hope to cover some more with games like Assetto Corsa and GT Sport! Here is the entire update and DLC list, it’s a long one! :) #Blogpost
