Assetto Corsa welcomes Porsche!

As a generally non-Porsche guy, I'm honestly not too bothered about which ones we get.

With the exception being - a front-engined Porsche, preferably a 928 - though a 924, 944 or 968 would suffice.

I do hope they haven't forgotten the front-engined cars, it'd be a shame not to include at least one of them.

 

I don't think that you will see any of those.

 

Randy approves

 

Sure , at least 1. 944 Turbo was a cool little car. Would be fun to run with the RX7 and Supra.

 

I wouldn't hate it if we got a 928 s4, but not counting on it.

 

I didn't see that coming! Congrats Kunos! My investment in this game keep getting better and better value....

 

Is the 911 R also coming to AC?

Hi
I remember reading somewhere the cayman GT4 will come in its clubsport version, sadly meaning wearing slicks, am i right? Or will it come too in its standard version, wearing street tyres and semislicks like other street cars in AC?
Thanks

 

I think both the GT4 (street) and GT4 Clubsport (race) are confirmed, or at least semi-confirmed.

 

The Cayman GT4 was seen as real life footage in the AC Porsche announcement trailer, the Cayman GT4 Clubsport was confirmed by Marco on Stefano's livestream (still open question if it's the MR version or not - considering the timing probably not, so no homologated GT4 car).

 

Do you know when release is expected ? Midd october ? End ?

 

I thought we were getting the 1st set this month, but we're running out of days.
Must be next month.

 

From Marco's FB: (highlighted text for emphasis)
Less than one year ago, we lived one of the most surreal days at Kunos Studios, in Vallelunga. Some people from Porsche paid us a visit, to have a closed-doors meeting that has gone forward for two days. So: me, Stefano and another programmer was discussing with Porsche in a meeting room. In the meantime, Aris was in the other side of the building, in our office, working at the simulator with one of the Ferrari engineers who created the 488 GTB, discussing about car handling, physics, features, and so on. That was, actually, a coincidence of dates, and the respective teams didn't met each other.

Two months later, a new billboard appeared on Vallelunga track, showing the new Porsche 911 Carrera S, presented a week earlier at Estoril circuit in an official event, where Porsche brought some simulators powered for the first time by Assetto Corsa.

In October 2016, after one year, both cars will be performed in our game, being reproduced as never done before. On PC, PS4, XB1.

Well, let me say: what a day.

There is the link where I saw the September delivery date for the 1st chunk of Porsches. I'm not sure where the official source for that was, but it was reported as fact.

 

snip...

Thanks for the link.

 

Marco Massarutto said there are three Porsche DLC that would release starting September in this live stream, that's where the source of the news is. Plans and dates can change.

 

They also presented Season Pass for PC as a fact, it's not confirmed yet. Bummer though, hope it's not too long into October.

 

I'm a developer myself, and the fact that it's only mentioned in a stream and not an official PR or blog post makes me believe it was a tentative date. If it's late and they slip into early october, it won't be the end of the world, but non the less I'm excited for next week.

 

I don't follow (i.e., what the fact that you are a developer has anything to do with what you said). I'm not a developer, and pretty much realize that if it's not in a PR release, then don't put much stock into what has been said in other postings, etc.
