Assetto Corsa Competizione | Challenger Pack Complete

Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo.jpg
A lot of people were expecting a Ferrari reveal during the Ferrari Velas Esports launch event, but no Kunos announced the new Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo yesterday on Twitter.

Whilst we were expecting the reveal to take place during the esports launch event, the Ferrari will feature at the event, so make sure to tune in to learn more about this new addition.

That means all cars have now been announced for this highly anticipated DLC pack. The pack is due to land tomorrow (23rd March) and as of yet, there are still no news about how much this DLC pack will cost. The cars are:
  • BMW M2 CS Racing - The M2 CS Racing is a legitimate race car, though it won't fit into the main GT3 and GT4 classes you'll find in Assetto Corsa Competizione. Like the Huracan Super Trofeo and Porsche Cup cars already present in the title, this new BMW is intended to be used in one-make races. BMW's M2 CS Racing car is a stripped down version of the M2 road car. It's powered by an inline twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine, which is mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. All but the most essential parts are stripped from the interior, which keeps the car light and nimble.
  • Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II - Similar to Evo versions of other cars in ACC such as the Ferrari 488 and Lamborghini Huracan, the updated Audi doesn't represent a drastic change from the outgoing (Evo) version. The LMS Evo II offers an improved rear wing and front air intake, plus improved suspension. Under the hood, its 5.2 litre V10 engine is pumping out 585 horsepower, but the Evo II's torque curve has been tweaked. Fans of the existing Audi and Lamborghini models should have no trouble adjusting to driving the new car, but can likely expect a slightly improved driving experience in the car.
  • Lamborghini Huracan Trofeo Evo2 - The Super Trofeo Evo2 is the latest version of the this one make series, which has seen radical aerodynamic refinements over its predecessor. Powering this car is a 5.2 litre V10 engine that delivers 620 HP.
  • Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 992) - The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) is described by Porsche as “broad and brutish” being more aggressive than its predecessor and even more of a pure race car than ever before. The new 911 GT3 Cup produces more downforce with a gooseneck rear wing and larger front lip. The extra downforce means higher cornering speeds and more direct turn-in, which result in faster lap times. There’s 50 hp more than the 991 version, but the 992 does weigh approximately 60kg more.

Are you excited about the new DLC? Are there any cars that you want adding to ACC?

I was under the impression that COTA was to be released with this pack. Is there any idea/word of when that will be released?

I can't wait! I hate watching others play video games but I ended up finding a german youtuber that was chill talking about the new dlc. He mentioned in the videos about some hints to upcoming stuff GT2 and USA. As an American I would love to see more US tracks or even US/Mex/Can tracks. I don't know anything about this stuff other than thru playing the game. So I don't know what tracks or whatever or anything.
The streamer was Boonatix on youtube

Last I heard (or read), a track pack is coming this summer. I'm not sure if it's only American tracks or a mix of Asian and American tracks. COTA was teased in a screenshot.

There's also a rumor about GT2 cars.

Being from the states, a US track pack that includes the likes of COTA, Sonoma, etc - sounds so awesome.

The GT2 class would be the icing on the cake. I've been driving a GT2 mod in AC and they're a lot of fun.
 
If this DLC finally allows you to get the animations in the stands that are announced on the main page of the game's website and this since the origin of the game... then let's buy it otherwise not lol.

At least we can have a "semi-official" GT2 grid now with both the 488 Challenge Evo and the Huracan ST Evo together, but we need the two to be unified into a shared category, perhaps with the Porsche GT2 Clubsport and the R8 LMS GT2 joining the ACC lineup down the road.
 
Hopefully these cars will come with some liveries. Not the hideous crap that the game randomly generates.

Still hoping for GT2 and the misssung GT4 like Supra.
 
They really should include cars such as the 1971 Chevy Monte Carlo, the 1968 Pontiac GTO, the 1973 Gremlin, the 1968 Buick Electra 225, the 1968 Beebe & Mulligan Dragster, Roland Leong Hawaiian Funny car, the 2004 BMW F1 car,tracks like Pomono Dragstrip, US 30 Drag Strip, Belle Isle and Long Beach, Watkins Glen, Charlotte International Speedway.

Because you know just because they said in the beginning they were licensed for a series that had certain cars and tracks doesn't mean they can't turn the game into what I want it to be. :whistling::whistling:
 
New car class or at least one new track would be better. Cup cars are absolutely not my cup of tea.
Race against different car brands is more interesting.
more class? you will get new one with the CS, other fro st evo and a third on ferrari challenge, now mix all on one championship
 
Not a particularly interesting DLC pack. Whether I make a purchase is very much dependant on the price.

I'm happy with the GT3/GT4 focused content of the game but more tracks are really necessary. I hope Kunos deliver Magny Cours and Valencia in the near future.
 
I will not buy this DLC.
Why? Lambo ST & Porsche Cup? Never played. BMW M2 intersting... but after a while nobody will play it online like GT4 (sadly because GT4 is so different). New Audi and Ferrari? There are already two cars, now three? Yes they are new but... Meh... Just meeeeh!

I always say "it's a good sim, but a bad game". I would prefer If they build a ranking system like in iRacing etc. The actual system is just meeeeh. Also the Open Lobby experience is meeeeh. Why aren't there build-in-leagues? Why does the community have all that Work? Why do I have to use simgrip or LFM? #LazyDevs???

I like ACC but I hate the part of not used potential...

More short term hype, for long term disappointment, typical.
Sure, the new cars will be cool for all of about 30min/10 laps, then it's, same old same old.
These new classes will disappear into league oblivion within weeks once the novelty wears off.

Back to good old AC for some serious car/track diversity.
