Assetto Corsa EVO has its first content drop

This Wednesday (18) marked the second milestone in Assetto Corsa EVO's roadmap, as KUNOS Simulazioni released the first content drop to the sim racing title, adding two distinct cars and a world class race track.

The track in question is Fuji Speedway, located very close to the mountain from where the circuit name comes, but with an extra - while the Japanese track was brought to Le Mans Ultimate and Rennsport last year, those had only the GP layout where the Dunlop corner consists of two sharp hairpins and a hard right to Corner 13, while ACEVO also brings the short layout, where the Dunlop corner uses the escape road in the left to become something close to a square right that leads to the 13th, which becomes the 12th corner.

As for the cars included, the hypercar section receives the first model from Lamborghini, as the Huracán STO appears in a race simulator for the first time. This isn't the base of the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 by coincidence, because the Super Trofeo Omologato is a lookalike of the single make race car in road going trim, and while being good for the road, the Huracán STO also has all the goodies to turn to the race track to become a performance oriented machine to make full use of the 640 hp under the hood, which can get easily at 300 km/h.

On the other hand there is the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II, with the Italian OEM also debuting in the Assetto Corsa ecosystem. The road going machine that was the base for the Group A rallying monster from the early 90s came to Assetto Corsa EVO in its final version, which is the most powerful and has the best acceleration of the whole first generation of the model, and with 215 hp at 314 Nm along the four-wheel drive, it is certainly a fun car to wheel around twisty tracks, with the occasional drift here and there.

The Delta HF Integrale Evo II was less of a secret than the Huracán STO, considering that the model was seen in the Nürburgring free roam showcase presented by Misha Charoudin, which, along with the first official trailer, kind of did the job of revealing some of the upcoming cars.

Outside the content drop, ACEVO hasn’t received much in terms of updates, with the UI, the HUD, AI and graphics receiving fixes to offer a more consistent experience inside and out of the track sessions, with the whole changelog being on ACEVO’s Steam page.
