Assetto Corsa Competizione fans rejoice - lots and lots of exciting new announcements have been made about the simulation.

So, where to start? Well first up, this summer we are going to be in receipt of no less than 10 new car models for the simulation, with the arrival of the much hoped for GT4 paid DLC. Yes, GT4 cars are coming to Assetto Corsa Competizione! The new pack is expected to drop this summer for PC, with console versions receiving access to the DLC in fall.

In other news from the studio, the 'British Pack' DLC has been confirmed for a release this winter on both console and PC. Adding three new circuits that make up the full British GT calendar (Oulton Park, Snetterton and Donington Park according to the 2020 British GT Calendar). Little is known about the release at this stage, so no news on liveries / cars from the British GT Series, but stay tuned for more info as and when it becomes available..

Finally, Kunos Simulazioni and 505 Games have confirmed that Assetto Corsa Competizione will be releasing on both Xbox One and PS4 as early as June 23rd 2020 - bringing this outstanding simulation to console gamers for the first time.

You can check out the full press release below:

Hi everyone! Today is a super exciting day for the Assetto Corsa Competizione team as we bring the news we know so many of you have been waiting for!

KUNOS Simulazioni and 505 Games are thrilled to announce that Assetto Corsa Competizione is heading to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

ACC will be available both digitally and at physical retail on June 23rd, 2020. What’s more, players who pre-order the console edition of ACC will also gain access to the Intercontinental GT Pack DLC on release day, which expands the Assetto Corsa Competizione experience to include the official Intercontinental GT Challenge. The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC is scheduled to launch later this summer.

The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione introduces four iconic international circuits from four different continents – Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit (South Africa), Suzuka Circuit (Japan), Weathertech®️ Raceway Laguna Seca (United States) and Mount Panorama Circuit (New South Wales Australia). Players owning these tracks will extend the GT Series to the Intercontinental GT Challenge by Pirelli, providing a challenging driving experience using an exclusive layout finely reproduced with Laserscan®️ technology, allowing for extreme track reproduction precision and detail. The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC also adds more than 45 new car liveries, 30 new teams and 50 new drivers along with all-new game modes from the real-life Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli.

Assetto Corsa Competizione allows players to experience the real atmosphere of the GT3 championship, competing against official drivers, teams, cars and circuits reproduced in-game with the highest level of accuracy ever achieved. Sprint, Endurance and Spa 24 Hours races come to life with an incredible level of realism, in both single and multiplayer modes.

The launch of Assetto Corsa Competizione on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is part of a full plan that will cover both PC and console instalments of the game:

  • This April, the free Assetto Corsa Competizione v1.4 update for PC Steam will introduce new features – including the car showroom, new driver/car personalization choices and additional options for multiplayer servers – and lots of improvements of the game features, UI and algorithms.
  • The GT4 Pack paid DLC, adding +10 new GT4 cars, will be available this summer on PC Steam, and this fall on consoles.
  • The British Pack paid DLC, offering 3 new iconic circuits that complete the 7-race calendar of the British GT Championship, will be available this winter for both PC Steam and consoles.

Stay tuned for more info! Exciting times ahead.

Actually they do, Formula 3 and Formula 4 ones.
Who ? when ? where ?
I work for a great team (tech one), and no, sro is not into this...(maybe you're talking about the organisation of some "national championship", including openwheels (like F4 in France), but it's not an SRO'managing... just a "global'promotion"

Just saw the console release video and was a bit disappointed because there was no news on the future for the PC platform. Next I read this....

AWESOME NEWS! With GT4 the next best thing in GT racing comes to ACC. Can't wait to drive them in comparison to GT3! And with the British GT series we will get multiclass racing I presume? Right? Right?

Until the summer release I will make sure to exploit all current content to the max. Great game will even get better. THX KUNOS!
What do you mean no pc info? PC getting gt4 first and getting the British get update.
 
Oulton Park is a favorite of mine. Great news! Too bad it will only be available next Winter, that’s a loooong wait...

I am still hoping for a North American pack eventually...
Did you watch the GT World Challenge America race on COTA?
Unfortunately this series has decayed quite a bit from last year. No Pro category, only one Silver car, Pro-Am set for overall honors. I can see why K-Pax went the European road with their Pro drivers. Tracks on the America Calendar are epic, no doubt about that!

No offense, but GT World Asia might be more attractive since they offer Multiclass with GT4, same as British GT. Tracks not too shabby as well.

Don't get me wrong, personally I hope they release all GT World Challenge packs.
 
Love it. Hope it's multi-class for the Intercontinental and British series. A little contest. Name the 10 GT4s that you think will appear in the DLC.
I'll start...Fort Mustang GT4
...now copy and add to the list :)

Have patience, GT America is under construction since SRO took over, getting rid of the pro class was a good thing since those entries are in IMSA anyway. They are now checking which formula will work better, the problem is that some team found a loophole with its driver line up
In any case a GT America pack would mean more tracks, and great ones even.
Maybe some TCR too since SRO is running them there (and if they add this they should go ahead and get Nords while they are at it ;) )
 
There are single seater events running at some GT Challenge Europe weekends (e.g. Formule Renault at the French event), but these are not organized / overseen by SRO, one just teams up for the weekend to give spectators a better show. At least that's how I understand it atm. A quick look at the SRO websites reveals only tintops (GT3 / GT4 and TC), so only these can be covered by licensing agreements between KUNOS and SRO. However, maybe nothing stops them from signing with other organizers as long as SRO agrees? Who knows.
