Hey guys,
First off, there's been a similar thread on the F1 forums with Codemasters stealing the 3D model of someone's AC F2002 mod to use in their game so that reminded me that I wanted to make this thread.
So, I've been to a Renault event in Iasi, Romania on October 21st 2017, where they said they will show off the RS17 and they showed off the R30 with the 2017 livery and didn't let me in the simulator because I needed to drive their cars first and I'm not old enough to have a license. That pissed me off badly but now let's get to the point.
They were running Assetto Corsa in the simulator and they were driving an RS17, which is not included in the base AC game and isn't in any of DLCs either. I thought that Kunos made it for them but decided not to release it to the public. Luckily, I took some pictures just in case.
Then a few days later I just happened to install a F1 2017 mod for AC. I noticed that it is the exact same mod they used. The mod is the ACF1-Mania 2017 mod. Looks like it's made for a Russian league, I'm trying to find a way to contact them. If you know them, or if you happen to be one of their members please let me know. I just want to know if they gave Renault the permission to use their mod. If they did, then I'm sorry for being harsh towards Renault.
Proof:
The mod loaded on my PC:
Here's a picture I took at the event. I know it's very poor quality but I had to zoom in a lot. You can still see that the car icon and manufacturer icon are exactly the same.
