News McLaren 12C GT3 and engine damage introduced in Assetto Corsa’s ‘V0.6.5’ patch
News
The latest patch for Assetto Corsa has been released, adding a new licenced vehicle and extra damage simulation aspects to the Steam Early Access racing sim.
Headlining the V0,6.5 update is a addition of an all-new car to Assetto Corsa – the McLaren 12C GT3, a homologated rcompetition car that recently just made its Australian motorsports debut at last week's Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race.
Other updates to Assetto Corsa come in the form of the newly-implemented engine damage simulation features, where players can risk severely crippling their car's drivability should they miscalculate their gearchanges, or by adding more than 80% 'overboost' to cars with upgradable turbochargers.
