Here it is, the second release of Assetto Corsa Competizione and there are some updates to enjoy. One of those is Special Events which now shows Bentley and Misano options. Check the official announcement below.
Release 0.2 brings an update to the Special Events found in Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Most importantly, the previous online leaderboard events will be frozen and sealed, and new ones will take their place, introducing brand new content and game features. We can only urge you to keep driving and trying your best in each event!
In this second release, the events will be used to showcase the first-generation Bentley Continental GT3 and Misano World Circuit, both brand new additions to the world of Assetto Corsa.
The first event is a traditional Hotlap session in ideal conditions that is purposed to introduce users to this – in every sense – great car and a track that in its laserscanned form will be new for most simracers – weather seasoned or not.
The second event will shake things up by introducing weather and track surface transition in a 20-minute Hotstint session, where tyre management will play a key role in ensuring a consistent stint on a fast-drying track.
A new game mode: Hotlap Superpole
The third Special Event will introduce a new game mode that builds on the real-world session sequence of the 24-hour race in the Blancpain GT Series. In its original format, Superpole is a two-lap qualifying shoot-out for the top 20 qualifiers. In this event, users will have two laps to prove their skills on the leaderboard starting on a dry track with some light rain in the mix. Make sure you choose the correct tyres before starting off! Which compound will be the best? We don’t know yet.
The fourth event is once again centred around the weather: this quick race at Misano starts in the wet but the rain eases just enough to show a dry line forming: the resulting combination of a wet outside line, puddles and a quickly drying racing line can make racing rather tricky with varying levels of grip whichever line you might take.
