Assetto Corsa Ferrari Celebration DLC Releases September 19th!

[Paul Jeffrey]

Seemingly coming out of nowhere, Kunos Simulazioni have confirmed the highly anticipated Ferrari 70th Anniversary Assetto Corsa DLC is on its way, releasing this September 19th!

Created to mark the 70th anniversary of the Ferrari brand, the new Assetto Corsa DLC offering will contain some of the most iconic road and racing machines produced by the legendary marque, including plenty of historic content and the 2017 specification Formula One car that currently sits second in the Formula One World Drivers Championship.

As a reminder you can check out the Ferrari Celebration Pack DLC contents below:

• 1962 250 GTO
• 1967 330 P4
• 1967 312/67
• 1984 288 GTO
• 2004 F2004
• 2017 812 Superfast
• Ferrari SF70H 2017 F1 Car

With Kunos having confirmed the new DLC is just seven days away from a public release on PC (Xbox One and PS4 to follow at a later date), the Italian development team have released a nice new trailer for one of the most spectacular cars included in the pack, the stunning 1962 issue Ferrari 250 GTO, which can be viewed below:

Introducing the Ferrari 250 GTO... The 250 GTO model was the pinnacle of the development of the 250 GT series in competition form, whilst still remaining a road car. It made its public debut at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, and was the only front-engined model on display, with its monoposto and sports racing counterparts all having a mid-engine configuration. The 250 GTO was the ultimate expression of the Ferrari 250 GT car. It was equally at home on the road or track – perhaps the last dual purpose road/race car produced – and has achieved legendary status amongst aficionados of the marque. With only a relatively small production run of thirty-six cars, and with many of the examples produced having a great racing pedigree, it has become one of the icons of Ferrari's production history, with a revered position in collectors' circles.

Assetto Corsa is a racing simulation from Kunos Simulazioni available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

I looks to me that the SF70 might be not be able to achieve the real life laptimes. Im not the fastest guy but on a quite good lap with ultra softs and low fuel I could not go under 1:26 in Monza. Ricciardo did a 1:23 in race trim. So Im a bit cluesless here.

The SF70 in AC is the one used at Monaco, so you will never achieve the real laptimes in fast tracks like Monza and Spa.

Just because the CAD data used in the 3d model was based on the version of the car raced at Monaco, doesnt mean the physics represent the same car...

Note that I used the phrase semi-watchable.

And from a tech standpoint: They had V10s and no DRS/hybrid gimmick.

2009 was a great season with Button winning. 2010 had five drivers in contention right up to the last three races. 2012 was a great fight between Vettel and Alonso, after that it's not been great. We had the inter-team battle between Rosberg and Lewis but those hybrid cars are godawful.

We really need rain. Its almost winter, rain is coming.

Rain would be great but the crappy ai in AC makes it an unfinished sim IMO.

can anyone make some high res Marlboro livery skins for the F2004? The car would look even more stunning that it does already.

Had more fun blasting (and spinning!) around Silverstone Classic last night, had a grin on my face for the entire time I was driving. In VR (which is bloody good in AC, smooth as silk) these cars are just fantastic, I can't quite get over it, it's like meeting that special someone for the first time every time....I think I'm in love

I'm pretty sure @Henky SA will be working on the F2004 skins.
He just released the SF70H skins, incredible work by him!
