ACC: First Preview of Paul Ricard Revealed

[Paul Jeffrey]

Marco Massarutto has teased a first image of a soaking wet Paul Ricard circuit in Assetto Corsa Competizione - demonstrating a frighteningly lifelike looking image.

Now let us all be honest here, Paul Ricard in its modern configuration isn't exactly everyone's cup of tea when it comes to racing circuits of choice, the once legendary track having had something of a makeover in recent years to become instantly recognisable from the TV screen, but practically impossible to tell where one is driving when out on the circuit.

Thanks to the wonders of modern asphalt technology, the Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track is something rather unique in the racing world - but man is it difficult to pick out where those corners are!

Coming very soon as part of the Steam Early Access release programme for Assetto Corsa Competizione, Kunos Simulazioni own Marco Massarutto couldn't help but spread some of the excitement by pushing out an early preview of the track under wet conditions - an image that really does showcase what is an incredible graphics engine in play with this already very impressive feeling racing simulation.

So there you go folks - Paul Ricard is ACC first look. Looks pretty good doesn't it? - even if the track is awful!

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available on Steam Early Access now.

Testtrack for the next ACC build. Date of release?

Exactly one week.

It was resurrected as a test track and that is precisely what it should be, nothing more, nothing less.

Wish it kept that status. Forever.

I said "good day"!

I just would take the opportunity of this track release to have a thought for Elio de Angelis, who died during test session with his brahbam on this track in 1986.
