Assetto Corsa – First Formula Abarth Videos
Jon Denton of AutoSimSport paid the guys of Kunos Simulazioni a visit some weeks ago. In the latest issue of the A.S.S. Magazine he already reported about his trip to the Vallelunga circuit where the studio of the developers is based.
Today Jon revealed a short movie clip of him racing the Formula Abarth around Imola with the newest Fanatec steeringwheel firmly held in his gloved hands. According to himself the most noteworthy things are the crisp turn in of the single seater and the pressure put through the steering wheel force feedback under heavy braking, something that users of Kunos’ previous PC simulation netKar PRO will recognize immediately.

UPDATE:
It seems to be video release competition today as the guys from RSR posted two brand new videos on their forum as well, also showing the Formula Abarth in action but this time with Mister Kunos himself, Stefano Casillo and Aristotelis Vasilakos behind the wheel. The RSR team already presented various other car videos a few days ago.

Man that’s awesome, except the input lag
but it looks very very good!
The lag in the first video is indeed scary, although I am not sure if the wheels are as bad as the steering wheel suggests.
Really…I find it hard to tell, but it looks like they’re using HDTV’s which may not be in game mode, or, the TV’s game mode might not disable video processing sufficiently, either way, there’s no lag in Netkar or FVA, so I can’t see why AC would have it.
now that is surreal. love the set up he has and them gloves….
now if we could get someone like this guys to get fully F1 license just imagine the amount of competition there would be.
he seemed so concentrated I thought I was racing Imola
btw what F1 spec is that? looked like a 2004 F1 model of the Mclaren
Its the Formula Abarth (see the link in the article)
or click here
Not sure what you mean. but its not f1, its formula abarth. its all in the text of the article
looks good. not near as good as P. Cars. sad that everybody think that p.Cars is another NFS shift. its so much better
+1 Diego im dreaming for a F1 lisence! I hope we can get it after release maybe
Love the wheel when goes left/right/left/right(im talking about the fast movements),its like Senna’s videos in utube
I hope g27 can produce it but i dont think so
Dear santa…
What makes you think the Logitech G27 can’t produce such effects? Nothing wrong with that wheel
Cause its about 300 euro more
Well i dont know excactly what are the diferences,i guess g27 would be slower than fanatec(in respone),maybe less degrees etc..
But if are producing both all effects from a sim why so much expensive is the fanatec? I read about 3 motors(about fanatec)? That means more heavy or more strong responses?
If all that are true then Santa stay where u are
Actually the damper effects would be stronger on a G27 as it doesn’t use a belt like the Fanatec.
Both good wheels but very different price range.
F1 license won’t be coming to pCARS, rFactor 2, or AC I’m sure of it. Codemasters had to pay a massive amount of money to Bernie as all tracks/countries do for the privilege. None of these hardcore sims have the money to fully license F1 (if it’s even available after Codemasters got it).
That being said, I’m fine with “notF1″ or “Formula A” cars, etc. We all know what they are even if the legendary Billiams, McLauren, and Ferratti teams aren’t quite right.
+1
Personally don’t need F1. I can enjoy with other open wheels categories.
Awesome videos, the sound of the engine is very similar to the reality once again.
I’m so impatient to drive this simulation!
That Formula Abarth looks awesome to drive! And the graphics are incredible!!! Makes me want to buy a new pc now. That looked so amazing!
Every new video it looks even better
We can guess… Maybe at AC will be licensed also, Fiorano and Nürburgring (?)
im in love, this looks truly amazing, a new era in racing?
