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.

Very, very sad news and I am so sorry for his friends and family. One of my fondest memories in AC was taking the Radical out in LA Canyons and passing literally everything, I had so much fun I actually got in trouble with my wife because I missed dinner!

Rest in peace Shaun, you won't be forgotten.

R.I.P Shaun. I had many a great conversation with Shaun over the years. Have known of him for over 30 years as he was part of the Fairlight group who made wicked music demos on the commodore amiga ( as well oas being one of the largest cracking groups ) . I used to speak to him in the early hours to spur him on while making the Ginetta mod for assetto corsa and share many stories from the eary 90's cracking scene. very sad day for the community . Shaun you will be missed

My friend Shaun passed away?
OMG my friend Shaun passed away.
Like others said it is surreal to read this dreadful news.

I was a part of his modding group. Shaun went quite easily from just the Boss to a very good and close friend of mine. Because of his kind and his passion for what he loved.

Farewell my friend. Rest in peace.
I'll miss you.

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Took part in a BTCC online league that was using his mod. Had a great time in the Avensis, even got podium in a couple races. One of my fondest memories with sim racing. Rest in peace Shaun.
