Assetto Corsa Competizione to add GT2 Pack

Sigwolf · Jul 30, 2022

It's a shame they seem to be closing the door on ACC with so many SRO tracks not in the game. I'll pick up the GT2 pack, as I have all the previous ones, but I really want more tracks. I was really hoping they would add the missing US tracks, and then move on to the Asia and Australian tracks to fully represent the World Challenge schedules.

You're probably right. I was hoping they would be in their own category like previous years.

They do put them in their own category once the season is finished and they've added the final BOP and extra liveries.

I'm guessing they do it because they take profit(?). But it only takes a couple of minuts in the server list to find out that no one is using GT4 for example (a DLC that was quite expensive back in time), or the new tracks added. You won't find more than 1 server full with a no DLC track).
So why would someone keep buying packs that you're unable to use online for the lack of players?
Maybe I'm missing something here.

The only thing you're missing is that a number of us prefer racing offline for whatever reasons. I truly enjoy GT4s on the smaller tracks such as Oulton and Brand's Hatch. It's great fun. Also, the GT4s drive and feel differently than the GT3s. It provides a nice variety for those of us who race primarily against the AI.

Fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off line only, so any addition is good news. Would prefer new tracks over new cars, but will gladly acquire any DLC Kunos makes available to me.

Because I race offline

I can't speak for other people but I don't play online so I'll get a lot from the addition of more cars and a new class

ACC is still incredibly popular so KS is producing more content. Most people interested in AC & ACC don't care about racing online, as is evident by the lack of servers. So who's buying up all the DLC packs? Pretty obvious.
Of course KS are doing it to make profit, but also because they love what they do and they do it very well. Those things are not mutually exclusive.

Happy for any new consent to ACC but would rather have new circuits!

MJQT · Jul 30, 2022

While I think GT2 is a weird unnecessary curiosity in real life, I may enjoy these cars in sim. I tend to enjoy driving the older GT3s in ACC with less aero, more straight line speed, and less sophisticated TC/ABS, and I believe the GT2 cars are more like this.

Honestly, I'd prefer tracks and cars to complete the existing incomplete DLC they released. For tracks, the rest of the 2021 European schedule (Magny Cours, Ricardo Tormo) and the rest of the American schedule. And for cars, I'd love the Mustang GT4 and Jag F-Type GT4 that competed in 2019 British GT, but were not included in the DLC.

I'm guessing a combo of licensing costs and physical track access (given COVID restrictions) are at the root of why these things weren't done in the first place, but I'd love to see it. Far more than GT2 content, honestly.

Having the possibility to create more than one championship would improve the experience a lot. Imagine running multiple championships GT3,GT4,GT2,CUP,TROPHEO,etc... at the same time.

FS7 · Jul 30, 2022

New cars are nice but having more tracks would be even better.

davehenrie · Jul 30, 2022

Haven't done as much as I should with ACC, but the Brabs & new 296 should make the price worthwhile just by themselves.

BrettSinclair1 · Jul 30, 2022

It's great to see new (GT3) cars join ACC, to me the only great modern racing sim.
However, I don't see the point of GT2 in reality, and struggle to see it in the game, given how little other car classes get online.

Eckhart von Glan · Jul 30, 2022

Don't think I care much about the GT2, but adding the new GT3s gives me some hope they might eventually close the gaps in the SRO track reservoir others have mentioned before, especially the European tracks currently missing.

I understand why they're doing it since its basically just a question of adding more power, but I'd rather see that gem of a physics engine translated into Hypercar territory. It would change the whole endurance simracing world.

While this prospect is salivating they probably need the teams to finish their cars.
Of the big guns only Toyota and Peugeot(only just) have officially launched contenders... Ferrari, Porsche, BMW... all still testing haven't taken part in any event.

Great!

TeddyBearx · Jul 30, 2022

Instant buy, with rF2, ACC is so good, the Porsche GT2 RS clubsport is so good in Raceroom, but with ACC I will delete raceroom.

I agree with this.
I also enjoy the Porsche Cup races offline even, the older Porsche Cup cars, I just wish we had the ability of using better liveries than those selected by the game in the cup races.
Best wishes

Just base the first cars off of the Toyota and Glickenhaus, the rest can be DLC'd later. Would require the license from both though.
