Assetto Corsa: Porsche Vol. 3 Releases 20/12 - Details Released

[Paul Jeffrey]

Well we all like information don't we? After the long wait to see what Kunos and Porsche have in store for fans of the game, we now finally have all the pieces of the puzzle in one place. Once again thanks to the official Assetto Corsa Steam Store page, we see that Volume 3 of the Porsche DLC packages releases on December 20th, and again contains a goodly selection of the manufacturers finest examples of road and race machinery.

Unlike the previous two DLC's, Volume Three leans heavily towards purpose build race cars, interestingly even including the new for 2017 911 GT3 RSR and 911 GT3 Cup, cars sure to take the national and international headlines when they hit the world stage next year. Of course as can be seen in the included images in this article, fans of classic content have something to look forward to as well, with the inclusion of the 908LH (bottom of page) and 917K (below) - a car made famous as the machine that took Porsches first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971.

In a bit of a disappointing move however, Volume Three contains the 2016 919 Hybrid, the car that Mark Webber will make his final WEC appearance in next month at Bahrain, that many people will feel rather similar to the 2015 variant offered in the Volume Two package. Ok ok I know its nothing to get too upset about, seeing as the car has undergone substantial 'under the hood' chances since the previous season, but personally I feel a little disappointed as I would have liked to see another model from the brand in its place. Saying that, if the three DLC packages sell well, nothing to say Kunos won't consider releasing further cars from the brand in the future...?

Porsche Volume 3 DLC Contains:

• Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2017
• Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 2017
• Porsche 911 GT3 R 2015
• Porsche 919 Hybrid 2016
• Porsche 908 LH
• Porsche 917 K

We're almost there

This korean track looks amazing.

the pit look indeed : amazing

 

[Juliusz Baczynski]

finally the 917K has plans to arrive this year! I hear my soundmod screaming with passion about this!

 

[Jonas Hillert]

Okay in this way you are right Then it should be the new one

Maybe they had should write 991 or 997. Then it would be clear, which car we´re going to get

 

[ernietheracefan]

Damn, no 956..

 

[Jonas Hillert]

GT2 is discontinued..

Why would they develop a last generation car for 2015 when they are running the newer generation at IMSA? Its not the 2015 car, pls.

That one ran in Daytona 2015 and it´s the old one. So you´re wrong. But I´m sure that we get the new one (991), which ran only since 2016 in IMSA and every other GT3 series like(VLN, BES)

 

[Jonas Hillert]

Damn, no 956..

But a 962C

DLC 2 - Porsche 919 Hybrid 2015
DLC 3 - Porsche 919 Hybrid 2016

Both cars are almost identical ...

Porsche 911 R, is the old or the new model?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Got the feeling RD is sponsored by Kunos considering the ****-ton of featured AC articles lately

You can't be further from the truth seeing how The Lord thinks of the largest sim racing website on the web.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. You may need that hand one day.

tbh i dont "blame" him but the blame guy was pretty much always flamebaiting and he does the same on this site, it results in the same generic war a lot of the time which is annoying because its getting so hard to actually discuss the actual topic. I respect your decisions and your style of moderation but I dont like how it allows people like blame to thrive when they literally have nothing constructive to say at all. Im all for constructive feedback even if its a little aggressive but some people do need to be checked, blame might even be becoming immune to simberia.

I'd prefer to have done this sort of thing in a pm but i dont have permissions, i understand direct attacks arent allowed and yes i have put him on ignore but it doesnt detract from the fact that he makes it a lot harder for the community to stay on topic.

Theres no fun if theres no speculation, its still better then if we didnt get any hints.

 

[MoerasGrizzly]

We wouldn't need any hints if the Porsche naming system wasn't so confusing

@Brownninja97 If you or other members think comments or posts violate our Terms of Service hit the report button to notify a moderator and appropriate actions will be taken when content doesn't match our ToS.

Our site gets thousands of posts, reviews, comments per day and we can't always read everything. So community help is needed.

Don't let me deviate from the orginal post here so carry on discussing the topic at hand.

The car we really need (but wont get) is this one, next year's mid engined turbo car that's just been spotted testing at Sebring.

funny that you say that. "flamebaiting", "nothing constructive to say at all", "some people do need to be checked" like you and Mister Texas, "Blame (yes names do start with a capital letter) might even be becoming immune to simberia" I've literally almost always been within the ToS here and was in the official "Ego" forums, "i understand direct attacks arent allowed" because that is all you would do if Bram would allow it.
Would've kept this in private but since someone mentioned me and they had to go Off-topic I figured why not.

0/10 for observation for me.

 

[aphidgod]

This forum is fantastic with a half dozen of the noisy muppets in my ignore list, and if I mostly hide out in the modding section. But frankly, without doing that, I hate to wholeheartedly agree with the Lord but I must. And I also must point out that Stefano's comment wasn't critical of RD, it's moderators, or its staff... pretty clear it was about a select few users for whom RD really isn't responsible.

Speaking of... those guys were banned from the official forums for a reason. They had and continue to have nothing to contribute. But until you add "pathological negativity" to the list of actionable offenses in the TOS I'm afraid there's not much even a well-intentioned moderator can do.

Much like most driving games, reality is fantastic but public multiplayer is a bit sh-t.

Sorry, were we talking about Porsches?

 

[Celestiale]

This one I'll buy for 911R. Let's see what Kunos can really do

Same here. Ever since it was revealed that Porsche is coming to AC, i was hoping for the R. This car confirms season pass for me, even "half" of the cars being street car Boxters or 911 GT cars

Your mathematics baffles me.

 

[Brandon Wright]

The top car is the 2013 GT3r, the bottom is the 2015 car. It was revealed in in 2015 therefore it is a 2015 car, its first race was in 2016 yes but its the new one regardless. It just kunos doing their normal inconsistent naming, some have 2017 which are revealed in 2016 or going to be in the case of the rsr and some just dont have years like the 911R. Bottom line is that its the new one.

Funny how everyone is getting their Porsche models mixed up (not like they're confusing or anything). At least we can all agree that this is clearly a 944 Carrera Targa Turbo, right? Right?
