Awesome stuff!

Fantastic DLC. The Maserati Alfieri is gorgeous.
And I'm so happy to put my wheels on Laguna Seca.
Nothing else than a big thanks to Kunos team.

Count me in for AC2

Right now I think the invalid surfaces on Laguna Seca are broken. I made sand and gravel dirty your lap, not sure if it is legal o upload, if not, the admins can remove this post

 

[ltcars]

If you want to manually fix it open the surface.ini and change the IS_VALID_TRACK=1 to 0 at Gravel and Sand, I don't know for sure, could lead to server mismatching, I would only use it offline

 

[Celestiale]

Can someone tell me which version of the Alfieri we got? The big ball 500+ PS engine? Won't be able to play AC again until February (i know, it sucks )

 

[dreamer al]

Absolutely gorgeous. I particularly love the new track, Laguna Seca Circuit (possibly the best version out of all the PC Motor Series/Games). Thank you so much Mr Corsa

 

[Carlitox]

The Sesto Elemento is insanely scary and the Huayra is the stuff of nightmares. Not a fan of both Maseratis but gotta admit, DAT SOUND. And once again, the sheer detail on the models!

If only Vives weren't USD 1500 where I live...

 

[69Harder]

Fantastic ! - Love it

 

[Leonardo Chaves]

Laguna Seca doesn't look that good, i get that it's not a scenic location... but stuff like tarmac look lower quality than other Kunos tracks.

Cars look great as always, the Performante might be my favorite car on it's "class", controllable understeer and great traction.
Plus naturally aspirated ftw.

 

[Paul McCluskey]

yep laguna track surface looks arcade sega daytona or something similar too me, that alfa 33 is fun tho, only car I'd tried

I haven't played AC much lately and my reaction was "is something broken? PP or anything like that?" nope it's just the track.

 

[vittau]

You guys really think it's that bad? To me the track looked fine, at least in comparison to the rest of the stuff in Assetto Corsa...

My only gripe with the pack is how stiff and slow the Sesto Elemento feels... People are saying it gets better with the Trofeo tires, so I gotta try that later...

 

[darkelf1]

Great pack as always... Also DELETE delete delete~~~old lambo mod and playing official now...

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

So what is wrong with the track surface?
Vanilla mid-clear weather with default pp filter, 5pm:

Good and bad weather mod with included filter:

MP with vanilla weather and Wagnum pp filter:

Real life:

Don't know what you're on about with Laguna Seca track surface. What are your graphics settings?

Imo best looking official track.. maybe because less trees/vegetation in this dry area, trees never was strength of AC. But here even trees look good. And billboards are accurate, lots of details in the buildings and off-track. Color schemes are correct and natural, better than IMO in some official tracks, where things can have this odd tint.

Drove every old track for comparison, and I think this is indeed the best looking official track in AC to date. Funny how opinions can differ.

Cars, absolute favourite Alfa 33 . Not just because of looks, but the SOUND. Visceral stuff, feels like lots of effort was put into it (and maybe less into some other car sounds). Also, it's surprisingly easy to handle/catch from slide, and feels more "Modern" than it is. Maybe due to light weight. Only way to go is rev limiter 109 of course To get into that sweet 9-10k rpm range

Concept car, the dash is kinda gimmicky. And having pure concept car in AC feels "off" imo. Huracan Performante handles more enjoyable than Sesto. Pagani, insane power, but I wonder why they put that huge "button" in the steering wheel Rest of the interior looks sublime.

Other cars not really into yet, but will see. The track and Tipo 33 are the real gems. Hats off to Kunos

 

[Erik Frisen]

Really great pack! Laguna Seca is one of my favourite tracks so very happy about it. First time driving a laser scanned Seca though, and I gotta say I'm a little choked about the corkscrew... It's so friggin easy and not nearly as steep as other games makes it out to be. Other than that I feel right at home, thanks Kunos for the free stuff

 

[Darius Ramoz]

About time they fixed the launcher issue after end of sesh

this kinda forced me to download the custom AC Launcher

problem is...i loved the custom launcher so much now I can't even go back hehe

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Friends don't let friends use the vanilla launcher.

 

[throughalens83]

Laguna Seca is absolutely A W A S O M E! It doesn't look like anything I saw in any other sims, it was like a first time drive! Really enjoy this laserscan version. Congrats Kunos!

Love also the 33 Stradale, so grippy at the back. instable and somewhat unpredictable at the front..
Scaried by the Sesto Elemento, so hard to push to the limits, a beast! Now I understand why even Top Gear's The Stig spun off!
Impressed by the handle of the 500 hp of Giulia Quadrifoglio, what a car!
The Huayra BC is an incredible powerful and beautiful car! So different from the standard Huayra, really feel the absence of the stability wings and love it!

Overall a great FREE DLC!
