1972 North Wilkesboro Speedway v0.90 Early Access Release! - Assetto Corsa

North Wilkesboro Speedway's 0.625-mile oval track was a significant stockcar racing venue which hosted two cup series races that year. Bobby Allison would win the Gwyn Staley 400 in April, while Richard Petty dominated the October Wilkes 400 race. These races were part of a golden era for the speedway, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of stockcar racing in the 1970s and a beloved venue for motorsports fans. We've had a lot of fun racing HSS' 1972 McLaren M16B at the track as a "what if"...

1970 Lotus 49C v0.86 Early Access Release - Assetto Corsa

The 49C was powered by the famous Ford Coswoth DFV V8 engine, which produced 440HP at 10,000RPM. The Lotus 49 was one of the first F1 cars to use a stressed member engine combined with a monocoque, and this continued with the 49C iteration. The front and rear both utilized Double Wishbone independent suspension.

By 1970, the three year old Lotus 49 design was no longer the dominant design in F1, and it would be replaced by the 72D during the course of the 1970 season. However, the 49C...

1926 Bugatti T39a v0.8 Early Access Release! - Assetto Corsa

The 1.5 liter Grand Prix rule change was a massive boon for Bugatti... Alfa Romeo refused to redesign the P2, and thus did not enter any races. Meanwhile, Delage had just launched its 15S8, which was the only real challenge to Bugatti in 1926. However, nothing could stop Bugatti from barnstorming their way to the 1926 championship. It began in April with a 1, 2, 3 finish in the Targa Florio, and continued across the season, where Bugatti would take victory in all of the major grand prix event...

1930s Monza v0.5 - 1930 Florio Circuit - Early Access Release! - Assetto Corsa

In 1930 it was decided to create a new layout at Monza, this was to become known as the Florio circuit. The Florio circuit was a 7km layout that was shorter then the more commonly used 10km full layout. A short concrete straight called the Link was paved connecting the central straight to the oval's back straight. The two new 90 degree corners drastically reduced the speeds around the circuit, and the Florio circuit was generally a more technical circuit overall.
