From Great Britain to the United States: It had been hinted at for a while that the next DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione is going to focus on North American circuits – and their release is right around the corner: Already on June 30th, three new tracks are coming to the sim, allowing SimRacers to compete at Indianapolis, Watkins Glen and COTA.
Very few frames of what looked to be the Circuit of the Americas could be seen in a teaser video for the big update developer Kunos released in late 2021. All but confirming the rumors that had been making the rounds at the time. Now, another teaser video showed clips from three tracks and confirmed their release date as June 30th – ACC fans can look forward to racing in North America in just two weeks time.
More footage of COTA, both in the daytime and at night, showed off the venue of the United States Grand Prix in a bit more detail. Additionally, the unmistakable powder blue ARMCO barriers that surround most of the track at Watkins Glen could be seen from multiple angles, as could the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – the iconic oval’s road course coming to ACC as well.
While three new tracks are a welcome addition, GT World Challenge America had four more venues on its 2021 schedule: Absent from the trailer are Sonoma Raceway, Virginia International Raceway, Road America and Sebring International Raceway – a DLC featuring seven tracks at once seems unlikely, though. In comparison, the Intercontinental GT Pack brought four new circuits to the sim, while the British GT Pack added three new locations. A second part of the DLC might not be out of the question, though.
