In 1937, Delahaye won the Monte Carlo Rally and Prix du Million, while taking 2nd and 3rd at 1937 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The 1937 Delahaye 135S was powered by a 3.56L inline 6 cylinder engine which produced 152 HP, and could power the car to a top speed of 185 KPH (115 MPH). "The front suspension was independent by transverse leaf spring, with transverse and oblique arms and Refax transverse friction shock absorbers. The rear suspension was made up of two very flat and long semi-elliptic ...

The 1968 Japanese GP winning sportscar has arrived. In 1968 Japan decided to open up the Japanese GP, a major sportscar race at that time, to Group 7 (the most famous sub-set being Can-Am) cars.
"As long as the car had four wheels, two seats, and a body with fenders, constructors could build any car they saw fit, with any engine they wished to install. Group 7 was as close to an unrestricted formula as big-time automobile racing would ever allow." - Super GT World.
This sparked fu...

The 1969 Porsche 917 was developed in secrecy, with the team's factory drivers even being unaware of its existence until it was revealed in March 1969. The car was brutally fast... but this was coupled with considerable handling problems in medium and high speed corners. These handling issues limited drivers' ability to push the car, and the 1969 Porsche 917 only won a single race, at the 1000km of Zeltweg.
The Zeltweg track is available for AC, where the Porsche 917 took its maiden v...

The Amilcar CGSS was produced from 1926 to 1929. The Amilcar's racing team supercharged the 1.1L I4 engine, which produced 83bhp at 4800rpm, to compete in Voiturette racing events around the world. The Amilcar CGSS would go on to dominate Voiturette class racing throughout the late 1920s.
Designed as an enthusiast’s first racing car, many customers drove the CGSS during the week, as if a regular sportscar, and then also competed in racing events on the weekends. The CGSS weighed only ...

Ascot Park was purpose built for horse racing in 1903, but by June 1904 it also began to regularly host automobile races as well. Being located in Los Angeles this track was arguably the premier dirt track venue in North America at the time. This version of the track represents the track as it was in 1915, just before the track was converted fully to automobile racing with the packing down of the surface and reprofiling to add some slight banking. The flat 1 mile dirt oval is representative o...

The Historic Sim Studios team is proud to present the first of our 1934-1935 Grand Prix cars for Assetto Corsa, our 1934 Maserati 8CM.
The 1934 Maserati 8CM was powered by a 3.0-liter supercharged straight-eight engine that could produce up to 240 horsepower. The car had a top speed of around 155 miles per hour and could go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just over 6 seconds. It featured a 400mm drum brake on each wheel and a lightweight chassis which gave it rather pleasant ...
