Il team Simbin ha pubblicato un nuovo development blog dedicato al suo RaceRoom Racing Experience: questa volta i ragazzi svedesi ci parlano dei cartelli indicatori di curva (che è già possibile rimuovere dall'ultima patch), del multiplayer ormai imminente e ci mostrano anche alcuni screens della vettura che stanno creando in questi giorni...

Multiplayer Alpha, as the name suggests, is by no means a finished feature and it will be purely basic Multiplayer. We will start with a limited amount of servers to stress test certain things. For this we decided to make it available to a limited amount of players to make sure it’s not too overcrowded and the amount of player and server traffic has an ongoing balance...

La Kunos Simulazioni ci mostra oggi le prime immagini work in progress del circuito belga di Spa Francorchamps: come si può notare, si tratta delle prime fasi dello sviluppo, con i dati della tecnologia laser scan.

We are glad to share with you some pictures related to the work in progress of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, that will be included as free upgrade in the final version of Assetto Corsa: these pictures show a comparison between the laserscan point cloud and the 3D model based on it. Thanks to this techonology, you will be able to drive on a perfect virtual counterpart of the real track. Are you ready to push the throttle to the floor?

After a long wait, I'm really happy to announce that KartSim is back and better than ever. With the aim of being fully transparent, I've put together this video for you, the KartSim fans, which you can check out below with exclusive new gameplay footage. I'm looking forward to getting your feedback and answering any questions you have. It's good to be back!

Sports car fans looking for something even more powerful will love the 2013 Audi R8 V10 Plus, the latest rendition of Audi’s sought-after mid-engine sports car. Powered by a 550hp V10 engine, the R8 V10 Plus is equipped with everything that makes a sports car desirable, including a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission & ceramic brakes.

Testament to Audi’s tremendous on-track success, all four Audi racing cars in Project CARS are championship winners as each of them has left a lasting impression in the series they have competed in.

Audi’s Le Mans success will be represented in Project CARS by Audi’s first Le Mans-winning car, the Audi R8 LMP900, and the 2011 LMP1 R18 TDI Diesel prototype. These two cars combine no less than eight Le Mans overall wins in their racing history, alongside countless other endurance racing wins around the world.

The group of Le Mans Prototypes is spearheaded by the brand new 2014 Audi R18 e-tron quattro that will race in the FIA World Endurance Championship season and the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Also included is the R8 LMS Ultra, Audi’s highly successful customer race car for GT3-class racing. Competing in countless national & international series by privateer teams around the world, the R8 LMS Ultra has clinched several championships and marquee wins in events like the Nürburgring 24 Hour race and the Bathurst 12 Hours.

The lineup of Audi race cars in Project CARS is rounded out by one of the company’s most iconic competitors: The Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO car. Build for the GTO class of the 1989 IMSA GT Championship, the car was powered by Audi’s rally-proven 2.2 liter turbo engine, offering no less than 720hp of power for drivers to prove themselves with.

Project CARS will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam OS, PC, and Wii U starting Fall 2014.

Con il breve testo che trovate qui sotto, la Kunos Simulazioni annuncia la nuova licenza RUF Automobile per il proprio Assetto Corsa. Come si vede dai primi screens di anteprima, lo sviluppo della prima vettura, la CTR Yellowbird, è già iniziato...

All'inizio dell'anno corrente, KUNOS Simulazioni ha aperto alcuni sondaggi per verificare quali fossero i marchi e i modelli automobilistici ritenuti più interessanti dal pubblico, con l'obiettivo di indirizzare al meglio gli investimenti e lo sviluppo dei contenuti aggiuntivi di Assetto Corsa previsti per il 2014. Uno dei marchi più apprezzati è risultato essere RUF Automobile, una casa automobilistica tedesca specializzata nello sviluppo, elaborazioni e tuning dei modelli Porsche.

Siamo pertanto lieti di annunciare che KUNOS Simulazioni ha siglato un accordo di licenza con RUF Automobile GMBH e che 3 dei modelli RUF più votati dal pubblico saranno inclusi in una delle release di Assetto Corsa previste per il 2014! Maggiori dettagli saranno rivelati in futuro: nel frattempo, una prima serie di immagini relative allo sviluppo della CTR Yellowbird.
