Assetto Corsa Competizione: Audi R8 LMS EVO Preview

[Paul Jeffrey]

Continuing the Assetto Corsa Competizione 2019 season update previews, next up we have the rather striking Audi R8 LMS EVO...

Before getting into the article, I want to go ever so slightly off topic for a moment or two and talk in general terms about GT3 racing cars. I'm a fan of closed top GT racing, have been since the good old GT1 / LG Super Racing Weekend days of the early to mid 2000's.

Thanks to the ever increasing exposure of GT3 and series like the Blancpain GT Series, both trackside viewing and various news outlets and TV / internet broadcasts, it is easy for one to become a little blase about the sheer variety and style of the current generation of GT3 specification machinery.

Seeing them regularly but never really noticing them properly, I've found it rather cool indeed to study these latest Assetto Corsa Competizione preview images from the impending 2019 season update - and realising all over again just how thoroughly stunning the new cars actually look.

Aggressive, sturdy, racy, dramatic.. whatever you want to use to describe them, it's probably fair to say that many of the racing public find these exceptional cars as beautiful to behold as much as the drivers enjoy racing them throughout the world.

Take the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO previewed at the head of this article for example. The road going R8 is a nice machine for sure, but just look how sweet the racing version looks! Folks, take a moment to savour what we have here.. GT3 racing is awesome.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC.

In the previous news, i see a reply of a member about Ray Tracing.

I'm agree with him on it screen. There is a huge difference with one of the video of cars in the menu of ACC :

Haha, nice insult to Porsche! I think Jeremy once called it a Beetle, because Hammond was driving it

I bet that audi would have great rear end lift without spoiler and diffuser.

No

No word on either, they don’t tend to comment on anything they aren’t certain on even if they are trying to get it done. Bigger grid sizes would be limited by CPU power hugely so probably not something you could enable until there’s a heap more of that.

I remember some sort of sarcastic comment one day from Stefano regarding grid sizes so I don't think it will ever happen.
Same goes for FCY, I don't see it happening.

Amazing, so freaking pumped, hopefully we will see the Porsche 911 RSR if that's possible
