Assetto Corsa: RedBull Ring New Previews

Paul Jeffrey · Jul 3, 2016

Kunos Simulazioni have released a number of preview images for the upcoming laser scanned RedBull Ring circuit in Austria.

Scene of the recent controversial Austrian Grand Prix, the RedBull Ring is a premium Grand Prix venue under the control of RedBull owner Dietrich Mateschitz. Built to Grand Prix standards in 1996 as a direct response to the sun setting of legendary Formula One venue the Österreichring, the new RedBull Ring (or A1 Ring as it was previously known) has played host to 9 Grand Prix in modern times, retaking a place on the Formula One calendar in 2014 after a 11 year absence prior to the takeover by Mateschitz in 2007.

Kunos have meticulously recreated the popular venue with the aid of laserscan technology and the attention to detail are there for all to see on the attached screenshots. Due to form part of the Assetto Corsa 'Red Pack' DLC released on July 14th, the RedBull Ring circuit will be the first official real world circuit brought to the game since Brands Hatch made its bow back in December as part of the very popular 'Dream Pack 3' DLC.

Assetto Corsa plays a big part in life here at RaceDepartment. Have a look at our substantial modding forums for the latest downloads and modding discussions. We cover all the big (and small) news for the sim, and of course run our excellent Assetto Corsa Racing Club for all experience levels. Pop on over and give it a try!

Looking forward to trying a Formula One Ferrari on the RedBull Ring? Do you think this is the right kind of new track to add to the game? Looking forward to the Red Pack? Let us know in the comments section below!

Wow, just looks really, really nice

Almost a shame to go too fast around it, does AC come with a golf buggy option?

When I was painting some skins I made the game operate in Dev mode. Took a little tour of Monza. Really nice detail that you miss at 200mph! All joking aside though effort like this is great to see.
