Shaun Clarke, known in the Assetto Corsa modding community for his popular tin top cars, has sadly passed away.

We received word today that talented, hardworking and well-respected community member Shaun Clarke, known for such Assetto Corsa mods as the Seat Leon TCR and the Ginetta Supercup and GT4 cars, has passed away.

Shaun was known as a warm and friendly person throughout the sim racing community, and always appreciated the feedback he received on the mods he worked so hard to give us.

The RaceDepartment team wishes to pass along our sincerest condolences to Shaun’s family and friends and wished them strength in this difficult time. Shaun’s legacy in the sim racing world will live on through his mods, many of which can be found on his RaceDepartment profile page.

Rest in peace, Shaun Clarke.

So sad to see such a great member of the AC community passed away. May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his family.
 
Very sad to hear. My condolences to his family. His Ginettas were some of the best mods I've ever tried and gave me a lot of fun. They were made with love and care and given with great generosity. Thank you.
 
What a sad news! Thank you Shaun for your work and the moments that you gave us with your creations. We will miss you.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Ah no. I'm always in awe of excellent modders/developer like Shaun. It's not just a technical skill, there's real passion involved.

Thank you Shaun. Rest in Peace.

Hopefully we can have a Race Club event in Shaun's honour.

What tragic news, and so young too. I was obsessed with this vehicle for a time, creating a couple of liveries for it and spending hours racing them. So I guess I have Shaun to thank for making me a Ginetta fan (and a slightly obsessive one if I'm honest). I'll be taking the car for a spin this weekend in his honour.
