Assetto Corsa Competizione | Intercontinental GT Pack set to release February 4th

[Ricoow]

Teasing is nearly over! In just a few days the Intercontinental GT Pack DLC will release and bring us 4 amazing circuits from all over the world.

Kunos Simulazioni has been teasing us over and over again with all screenshots from the 4 tracks they are bringing to Assetto Corsa Competizione. Teasing us with Kyalami, Bathurst, twice with Suzuka and twice with Laguna Seca, they have now finally announced the release date of Februari 4th. Just a few more days to wait...

If you really can't wait to see the new tracks, Kunos have added to the art of teasing for you. They released an onboard with Aristotelis Vasilakos, their very own head of Car physics, around the track of Bathurst! You certainly don't want to miss that as he gives some great tips on how to do Bathurst in the GT3 cars.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC. Intercontinental GT Pack release date is set for February 4th, a price is yet unknown.

Want to race the new tracks with our community? Take a look at the ACC Race Club forums!

The new start procedure looks interesting & a big improvement...., it will take a while for everyone to get used to it though!

Believe me, these GT3s don't compare to GT3s in other sims. Have you tried them after the 1.2 update? You might consider to reinstall ACC even before any potential different car is released.

Also: You can still drive the Porsche Gt3 Cup

Sure, I tried them several times since early access. I just don’t like GT3 cars, that’s all, I’m more a fan of old & new prototypes or historic cars in general. These modern GT cars are a bit lifeless for me.

Well worth it for the tracks alone. All 4 are absolutely spot on. Great job Kunos.

Wolfzz has been taking the words straight out of my mouth, couldn't growl them better. Great delivery, looking forward to updating my track medals tonight.

Great DLC! all 4 tracks are top notch and the price is, well in today's world dirt cheap.
Also, nice little touch to move the message bar from the bottom center to top right was much needed IMO.
This sim just keep's getting better and better, I tip my hat to the dev's ...well done!

My prediction, at 8:38 pm, Eastern Canada time: 18€ or 22 US$.

I overestimated the price, and I'm quite glad: 19 Can$ with tax. A bargain for four great tracks and a bunch of liveries. A bit cheaper than R3E prices. Well done.

Day one purchase for me. I don't play ACC a lot but the DLC is very reasonably priced and I like the content they selected. Can also assume it will be prepared to the standard expect for a public release so no worries over a lack of polish to the presentation.

 

[Steve Worrell]

£12.49 are you kidding me.....This is incredible value for money!

 

[Bunkiester]

I'm absolutely disgusted. 30 laps around the new Bathurst, and I didn't see a single 'roo. Shameful lack of attention to detail...

To be clear, the above is a joke... absolutely beautiful work by Kunos, and an incredibly reasonable price for the DLC to boot. Thank you guys, you've made a great game even better, at least in my opinion.

$14.99 for four tracks and all the 2019 liveries! I mean come on now.

You've got raceroom charging $5 for one car and one livery. Rf2 charging $12 for one laser scanned track and iRacing charging $11/car or $15/track. We are getting four laser scanned tracks and all the liveries for $15. Wow.....you guys are amazing.

 

[blot]

£12.99 for 4 perfect laser scanned tracks! Other Dev's/Studio's please take note!

 

[thestig171]

I've driven my first couple of laps at Bathurst: it might be because I have a wheel now, it might be the game, but wow! This is the first time I'm actually enjoying the challenges of this track!

PS: servers are down?

 

[Dons440]

This DLC is worth every penny!
Kyalami is now my favorite track.
Make sure you understand the New rolling-start before you race online.

 

[Jayblue]

Had a drive at all the new tracks. This is a mightily impressive DLC - coming back down the mountain as the sun rose was a particularly impressive moment. I also loved the night lights on the big wheel at Suzuka!

Huge improvement in VR performance, fantastic track feel and feedback.

A huge improvement in Oculus Rift VR performance for me with V1.3 and the DLC pack. As you'll see in the video, the FPS counter is in the top right hand corner and is steady at 90FPS throughout. Previously I had to use 45FPS with ASW to make the game playable and avoid too many noticeable dips in the framerate when driving. Bathurst and VR are made for each other with the elevation changes and way the track drops away over the mountain, it's awesome stuff.

As for Bathurst itself, first impressions and wow it both looks and feels - in terms of wheel feedback from the track and kerbs - absolutely fabulous. I like games where achieving real-world lap times is possible even for the average but dedicated enthusiast like me. Having picked up a few tips from Aris's latest videos on car setup (a must-watch if you haven't yet) I was able to find a decent and repeatable 2:04.6 lap for me.

Above all, ACC now feels heroic to 'drive' when I put some decent laps together and of course a lot of fun. I wouldn't have believed the cars and driving experience would ever be this good back around v1.07 with the kerb problems etc.

As another hint towards realism, especially in VR, my heart rate monitor recorded 88bpm during similar flat-screen laps, with the Oculus on my heart rate was between 93-99 with the extra feeling of depth and the stomach challenging mountain section. A small factor but something that just moves us closer to a realistic feeling of driving the real cars and tracks imo.

Four more work hours before I can try the DLC... I couldn't believe how cheap it is. I don't know what the prices are in other countries, but just a small comparison here in Brazil:

ACC: Intercontinental GT Pack - R$ 29,00
R3E: Bathurst (or any other top tier track) - R$ 23,00
RF2: Monaco 2019 - R$ 42,00 / Le Mans - R$ 51,00

 

[Giando Fraschini]

What an incredible change of sentiment towards ACC in just one year... the latest comments are a fantastic payoff to Kunos work... really looking forward to test the new 1.3 and pack.

 

[numbersevenhull]

How good is Kyalami? Not just in the brilliantly good fun/beautifully modelled stakes, but in the pantheon of great tracks in sim racing? It's really something special.

And bloody well done for Kunos Simulazioni for not taking their pricing lead from iracing and applying some kind of proportionality. Kudos on being consumer friendly. And consumers = racers = active sim = fun = more sales = win for everyone

As you'll see in the video, the FPS counter is in the top right hand corner and is steady at 90FPS throughout.

How do you get an FPS counter in ACC? Probably something easy that I have overlooked.
