Historic Monza Arrives in 1.8 Update for Assetto Corsa on PC

Assetto Corsa Tripl3 Pack Ferrari 488 GTB 03

While those residing in North America have just a little bit longer of a wait on their hands, Assetto Corsa has finally touched down in Europe and the UK after an arduous adventure. It goes without saying that the acclaimed racer is already being put through its paces, and those currently enjoying the game have had a several hour head-start to enjoy some newer content.

Releasing today, the “Tripl3” Pack brings three new rides to the game for PC players to enjoy. While there’s little reason to argue that the Ferrari FXX K is the prized car of the pack, the more interesting addition is the lesser-known track weapon from the Czech Republic, the Praga R1.

Powered by a Renault Formula-sourced engine making 210 horsepower, and weighing in at 592kg (1305lbs), the R1 is more than capable of propelling itself to 60 in less than 3 seconds, and onto a top speed of more than 160 mph. The contents of the Tripl3 Pack are as follows:

  • Ferrari 488 GTB
  • Ferrari FXX K
  • Praga R1

    This dlc feels kinda meeeh.
    Asetto need exciting cars, we already have 458 so having a 488 is not that exciting. Why not something fun, Caterham or old Jaguar Xj220 or Lotus Esprit or Bugatti Eb110 or Nsx or Ferrari 355 or a Marcos or Viper or you know something we saw up to, had on our walls. Real cult cars, these new sportcars seems the same and are often meeeh. :P
    Basicaly where are all the fun cars. Do not get me started on the tracks :P

    Better cars please, waiting for the Porsche dlc but we know that they will milk that as much as possible.

      Hey, it’s only $2.99 for 2 awesome Ferrari’s and that Praga. I agree a couple different Viper’s would be awesome!! I’d be surprised if there are any planned talks with Dodge, unfortunately.

      You do know about the Honda NSX mod cars, right? There are 4 setups in one download. Arguably one of the best car mods ever made. If you don’t have it I suggest you get on that immediately!

    I love how Kunos continues to inform the modding community about new features available to them! My wheel is dead, but I have a borrowed wheel today – so I better squeeze in some F488 time before I have to return it. :-)
