Il team Slightly Mad Studios ci presenta questa sera la mitica pista di Monza in versione storica, quindi con il tratto spettacolare della Sopraelevata, che potremo percorrere con il prossimo Project CARS 2. Da non perdere i nuovi screens di anteprima.

The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is the third oldest purpose-built track in the world, conceived as both a venue for the Italian Grand Prix, and to give Italian automakers a high-velocity track on which to R&D their products.
Since 1922, when the track was built in less than 110 days, it has gone on to haunt generations of drivers with its beauty, speed, and indifference to tragedy.

That original track’s genesis was inspired by the need to bring back a sense of national pride to a nation humiliated at the inaugural Italian Grand Prix, held at the technical and slow-speed Montechiari circuit in Brescia in 1921, when French driver Goux in a distinctly French Ballot beat Italy’s best grand prix cars that were as big on horsepower and noise as they were low on grip and handling.

Il team Reiza ha rilasciato la nuova versione 1.4.7 del suo ottimo Automobilista che, fra le tante cose, ci mette a disposizione il nuovo circuito dell'Autodromo Yahuarcocha, che possiamo ammirare in alcuni spettacolari screenshots. Da segnalare poi che Automobilista e tutti gli altri titoli Reiza sono disponibili scontati al 50% su Steam !

Project CARS 2 is all about accessibility: put your feet up on the sofa on a Saturday and progress through the career mode, enjoy a single race versus AI in multi-class racing, or rise to esports fame and glory—the choice is yours. For those, however, who don’t want to commit to a full season of racing, jumping into one-off online races is the quickest way to get the adrenaline flowing, and with the new Competitive Racing License ensuring clean races against better match-made opponents, online racing in Project CARS 2 is now even better than ever before ...

Forza Motorsport 7 will feature classic racers like the 1966 Ford #2 GT40 Mk II Le Mans and the 1991 Mazda #18 Mazdaspeed 787B, among many others legendary race cars. As the 2017 racing season is still underway, you will be able to experience the latest technology and designs from Formula One, IndyCar, NASCAR, Aussie V8 Supercars and Formula E. These are the cars that are racing right now in their respective series, and you’ll get to race them firsthand in Forza Motorsport 7.

Pochi minuti fa, tramite Facebook, Marco Massarutto della Kunos Simulazioni ha annunciato il prossimo arrivo in Assetto Corsa della mitica e bellissima Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale!

Proprio Alfa Romeo rende omaggio da oggi (guarda caso...) alla 33 Stradale in occasione del 50° anniversario dell'iconica vettura e lo fa attraverso la mostra temporanea "33 La bellezza necessaria" visitabile al Museo Storico Alfa Romeo di Arese.

L'Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale è una fuoriserie prodotta dall'Alfa Romeo a fine anni sessanta prodotta in 18 esemplari (numero attualmente censito). La "33 Stradale" fu presentata in anteprima sul Circuito di Monza, nell'ambito delle manifestazioni motoristiche organizzate in occasione del Gran Premio d'Italia e, poche settimane dopo, venne esposta al salone dell'automobile di Torino del 1967. La prima 33 Stradale realizzata era basata sulla omonima versione da competizione, la Tipo 33. Questa autovettura venne disegnata da Franco Scaglione e costruita dalla Carrozzeria Marazzi; è spesso ricordata per essere la prima vettura prodotta ad avere le portiere ad apertura verticale, e l'estetica non risente assolutamente dei 50 anni trascorsi, a tal punto che le moderne 8C Competizione e 4C ricordano moltissimo questa vettura. È considerata, da molti, tra le più belle auto di tutti i tempi. Ulteriori dettagli a questo link.
