Assetto Corsa Ferrari Celebration DLC Releases September 19th!

Paul Jeffrey · Sep 12, 2017

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.

As long as you regularly tease us with pics of it while you're working on it over the next 12 years.

Community: AC sucks, it's nothing but a hotlapping sim.
Also, community: AC sucks for not including Fiorano. (a track that is literally only good for hotlapping)

Why bother? According to people in this thread mod tracks are useless, not an acceptable way to plug in a need and nobody uses them anyways.

Actually I find this Blog very positive and informative.

Just giving out ideas to some who are complaining about this and that feature and need them tracks, go to your achievements list in Library - Assetto Corsa - Links side menu: Achievements and start doing one by one.

You'll suddenly find AC a new game since you won't be having more of the same routine. It should be mandatory for everyone and at the end you unlock rain, night, 10 new laserscanned tracks and the Ferrari 512M.
Have fun doing 640 achievements.

This is clearly off-topic.
Personally I can't wait for the Ferrari DLC. Perfect! And Fiorano! Woah! Can't wait!

As it's only 6 days away, I'm hopin for some screens of the other cars. Not just the 250 GTO.

I think Stefano said that the v1.15 update is mostly technical stuff that was requested by modders.

Last update was about 3 months ago. If thats the case we must be near the end of the life of AC 1, if in that time they have only done under the hood modder stuff.
I suspect there will be more to the update but Im prepared to be disappointed.

Michael Hornbuckle · Sep 13, 2017

Considering how long ago it was that v1.0 released I think it would be more surprising to find out that AC will continue to get updated/supported in 2018 rather than not.

It wouldn't be a sim-racing update without the majority of the vocal minority being disappointed in one fashion or another, so the possibility definitely exists.

So you're saying we're getting a free Ferrari SUV?

I don't usually delve into official news-page thread. Are they usually total sh*tstorm like this one? Not joking. I'm not new to rd but usually don't dive deep into the threads created by the staff. I'm just baffled.

Yes, its always the same. Some preview on new content and on page two the same old people start to complain about missing features and so it goes on and on.

Sorry, not getting into that game. If you thought my opinion was confusing and plain wrong, my apologies.

Do your own version they way you want it , you're more than capable.

Yeah, they're all pretty much exactly like this. They're at least a good way to populate your ignore list, which pays off down the road.
