Assetto-san!
It seems that AC fans never have enough of Japan: then, they might be glad to know that we are bringing you the Toyota Celica, Supra, AE86 and TS040 Hybrid, as well as the Nissan GT-R 34 Skyline and 350Z Nismo 2015!  And the list might not be over, just let us work…

2015 and beyond...

"2016
We are approaching the final phase of development on the console, something that includes a very different release schedule from the PC."

So it would be a firm guess to say we won't be able to race each other in MP when the console version is released... bummer...

I don't interpret that statement the same way. Ie more positively! I believe they were referring to the different way that software for the consoles themselves as well as the games on those consoles are released. I thought interworking in multiplayer between PC and Console would be available. I am not sure how mods will be handled though.

PC Gamers (I'm speaking for myself here mostly :P) have always yearned for a way to put the console players in their place... I was hoping this was going to be it

Seriously though, it would be great having the opportunity to race virtually everyone in the video game world.  You'd hope Minorating was well implemented by then though.

But AC could be the one of the only - if not the only? - race sims to be truly inclusive and operate across all gaming platforms with all players having the opportunity to race against each other.

Lord Kunos on the AC forums:

I also hope to be able to throw in some additional stuff in 1.5 that is not needed for consoles (ie. oculus, championships, new apps for race strategy and so on).

Sounds interesting, but I'm not holding my breath. The KS apps are usually pretty crappy, really.

But new apps for race strategy may mean more functionality in pits. Possibly allow adjustments as well as repairs during a stop. Change pressures, rollbars, aero etc which are kind of needed for longer races especially if weather ever adjust along with time of day.

http://www.virtualr.net/assetto-corsa-free-bonus-pack-2-unveiled

"Kunos Simulazioni has unveiled the second free bonus pack for their Assetto Corsa title.

Coming to Assetto Corsa’s PC version alongside the 1.5 update on March 31, the Bonus Pack 2 will add the Corvette C7 Stingray and the Ford Mustang to the title. Furthermore, the pack will also introduce the “ Death Valley ” desert track, coming in three configurations.

To round it all out, the free pack will also add the nimble little Fiat Abarth 595 that can be seen duking it out with its modern counter-parts in the trailer video below."
