ACC | Porsche 992 GT3 R joins the fun


After the past announcements of the last two weeks showcasing a new Ferrari and a new Lamborghini, it is without much surprise that Kunos is announcing the arrival of Porsche's latest GT3 race car in Assetto Corsa Competizione for the 19th of April.

The Porsche 992 GT3 R has been engineered with reliability and ease of use in mind. As GT3 cars are subject to a Balance of Performance in various racing series, Porsche's idea was to focus more on making the car usable for endurance races rather that building the car for pure speed. The displacement of the naturally aspirated engine has been increased to 4.2L to increase the powerband width to "suit gentlemen drivers needs", while the engine itself has been positionned and tilted in a way that allows more room for the diffuser and less load on the rear end to limit stress on the tyres.

The April 19th update could shape up to be even more substantial, as there's still 3 more weeks available before that for more drip feeding announcements. We know the new SRO GT2 class cars are set to come in the game in the future, but there are also still a few tracks from the calendar that are missing in ACC right now, so both scenarios are credible at this stage.

taking whatever they throw to us is acting like a dog.....without brain
Well, it's not like it will be low quality cashgrab crap. It only happens that it doesn't fit your prefered content type. You're also free to not buy it, and so on and so forth. I'm sure you actually got it, but you MUST have that last word, right....

PS: Dogs have brains and also preferences. I actually have seen dogs with more common sense than some people, for example when crossing the street.

a dog eats all we throw at him on the ground
 
hope they update GT4 at some point and add Toyota Supra, Mustang, etc., and please Sonoma at some point, US SRO GT3 runs there end of March, awesome track!
 
Instant buy for me too, sad Hockenheim will not be on the DLC, i hope they release Magny Cours in the future. With GT2 maybe comes Redbull Ring, so great add-on.
