As if the first
volume of the so much awaited Porsche
Pack DLC content wasn’t enough of a
joy for the Assetto Corsa
community, the new volume 2 puts more icons into the simulation from
the racing side, while bringing some nice road car machinery.
The attraction of
the pack released this Tuesday (22) are the prototype champions that
crossed decades putting the Porsche name in the top step of the
podium of the greatest sportscar events.
From the 80s we have
the 962C in its long and short tail versions, a car with titles in
the 24 Hours of Le Mans, IMSA, World Sportscar Championship and other
regional championships, along with its fame around customer teams.
The 911 GT1-98 is the 90s representative, one of the final iterations
of the 911 GT1 machine, leaving the GT side a bit and looking more
like a prototype, at a time where the LMGTP homologation specials
were even faster than the LMP1 class.
The other prototype
is way more recent, being it the 2015 version of the 919 Hybrid LMP1
model, which conquered 6 wins in 8 races of the 2015 FIA
WEC season, including a very special 24
Hours of Le Mans win with Earl Bamber and Nick Tandy having the
company of the Formula 1 driver Nico Hülkenberg. This hybrid machine
has various modes of MGU-K deployment available to choose what’s
best to take advantage of its energy recovery systems.
Also between the
classics is the 718 Spyder RS from the 60s, which had its glories
into endurance and hillclimb racing.
The road going part
has its version of the Cayman GT4, which already had the GT4
Clubsport race car in the previous pack, with two versions of the 718
Boxster S, with manual and PDK transmitions, and the 911 GT3 RS, a
street car that screams motorsport from it due to its list of
elements brought from the race track experience to its body and other
parts.
The free car of the
current pack is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, the first SUV to come
from the German manufacturer, having the Maserati Levante S as its
class rival in the simulator. Everything came with the 1.10 version
update adding new features and correcting some details, which can be
seen into Assetto Corsa’s Steam page.
