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.

Such sad news... :(
His Ginettas were my first introduction to high quality mods for AC, still enjoy 'em 'til this day.

Godspeed Shaun, may you rest in peace...

So shocked and saddened by this news. Reading all of your comments, through tears, is tough too do, but shows how much heartfelt respect and love you have for this man and his work.

You were way too young too go. May you rest in peace and my prayers go out to his family and friends. God bless you all while coming to terms with this.

Shaun was a good guy and I'm glad to have known him and had the opportunity to make some skins for his Radical SR3. He was always happy to see how things were progressing, and was always genuinely blown away with the final results. He never failed to show his appreciation with a crate of beer too
He will be missed and I am glad to have known him.
My heartfelt condolences to his family

Rest in Peace Shaun
