DRM Revival First Drive Video!

Paul Jeffrey · Feb 4, 2018

We get behind the wheel of the upcoming DRM Revival mod for Assetto Corsa... our first impressions..? Watch on to find out!

The DRM (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft) ran throughout the '70s and early '80s with much appeal to fans of high octane motorsport action. Featuring some of the most aggressively styled and potent racing machines in modern motorsport, very quickly the championship became a firm favourite for both fans and drivers alike, attracting top Grand Prix talent of the era in the form of Hans Stuck, Klaus Ludwig and other top name talent, the series was perhaps more famous for the enviable selection of cars that pretty much defined a generation of touring and sportscar activity.

Now thanks to the DRM Modding Team, many of these iconic cars will be coming to Assetto Corsa in the very near future. Is the mod up to the high standards of the real world series? Watch our video to find out

Assetto Corsa, available now for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

I’ve struggled to find a good feeling with ffb in AC, so this will give me an excuse to try again. Great work by the team. (And nice shirt Paul)

Pepper606 · Feb 4, 2018

Is it available now? My first thought

This will be fun!
Awesome job for them to do this!

@Paul Jeffrey , i might be wrong but the last time i checked their thread, they were planning to make this mod payware. As far as i'm aware, they use (or at least used so far) real names real liveries and all that. You see, the recent lancia delta s4 payware thread was shutdown just for that. Will you allow drm guys to open a thread here and sell their mod with real name and real liveries? If so, wouldn't that be double standard? Not defending rallylegends team, they sure made a lot of mistakes with the payment/presentation part. Just curious.

Edit: RD re-opened the rallylegends thread. Thanks.

Thanks for bringing the preview.
I personally, am a big fan of the DRM mod since I followed the actual series.
I will definitely be purchasing this mod, as long as the price is reasonable.
I do see something in the video that is a bit odd.
During a few of the shots where the car is clearly accelerating, there are massive exhaust flames at the stack.
That would not be happening at that stage.
You might get a 'popping' flame on the up-shift due to unstable combustion, but the duration would be extremely short.
Those lengthy flame-fronts would occur mostly during deceleration, at places like the approaches to the chicane, La Source, Les Combes and turn 13 prior to Campus.
They're produced during fuel cut from the ECU, when the unburnt fuel in the cylinders is dumped and re-lit by the hot gases from the wastegate.
May want to adjust that a bit.
Still looks really great.

Great! It's always nice to see FREE quality mods. If I find the physics good, I might even donate a dollar or two.

pilot68 · Feb 4, 2018

Absolutely stunning. I can see a lot of dedicated work here. To those here that are not keen to pay for others efforts and work, do you always work for free. If so i have a long list for you.

Just like the 935 DRM went full loophole, now im not sure if this is still the case but I do remember them talking about the options. They want two versions, standard and premium, you get the models but you get generic physics but the premium version has better physics and sounds. AS I said this may have changed, im not on the team so I dont know.
