1930s Roosevelt Raceway v1.0

Roosevelt Raceway was a state of the art road course in the United State during the late 1930s. It most famously hosted the Vanderbilt cup twice. We have digitally recreated the five different layouts that drivers raced at Roosevelt Raceway in the 1930s. The originally twisty 4 mile (6.4km) layout used for the 1936 Vanderbilt Cup race, the faster 3.4 mile (5.4km) layout with the final banked corner used for the 1937 Vanderbilt Cup race, the short version of the layout used by ARCA in 1937, an...

HSS Development Update - December 2023

Upcoming Assetto Corsa Releases

We have a major update to the 1926 Amilcar CGSS Voiturette coming this month, including its custom engine sounds, visual improvements, our first car with the Advanced Damage Physics being simulated, a talking riding mechanic, a ton more paint schemes, and we’ve also thrown on a supercharger (to match the supercharged version of the engine we captured the engine sounds from). Unfortunately, we are going to be pushing back the public rele...

HSS Development Update - November 2023:

I’d like to go over a few things we’ve been working on these last few weeks. Due to the length of time it takes to create a comprehensive update each month over all our projects, we’ve added individual channels on our discord for most of our ongoing projects (and hopefully soon all). This frees me up to simply the monthly updates and get something out to you guys more regularly, enjoy!

1970 BRM P153 v0.41 is now available for all HSS supporters!

Should I Bring Historic Content to BeamNG?

Who here plays BeamNG? And would you be interested in a selection of our mods being brought to the title? We have added someone with BeamNG skills to the Authentic team, and I'm trying to see if its worth it to have them help with HSS as well.

Update on Rush SR Project - Authentic Simulation LLC

This is a bit of a different update, but I've been working on a major project that has a bit of overlap with Historic Sim Studios. That is Authentic Simulation's officially licensed Rush SR!

Last month, I flew out to Rush Auto Work's factory in Houston, Texas, where we gathered lots of data directly from the cars, talked with the Rush team, and I even spent roughly an hour behind the wheel across two different test sessions at MSR Houston. Rush Auto Works has provided us with full ac...

1926 Amilcar CGSS Voiturette v0.7 Early Access Release!

The Amilcar CGSS was produced from 1926 to 1929, and was effectively an updated and sportier version of the popular CGS that had been available for the previous two years. Essentially the final development of Amilcar's small cars, it featured such refinements as the spirit-bevel back end, brakes on all four wheels, full pressure lubrication, and a 1.1L inline four cylinder engine which produced 35bhp at 4,500 rpm, powering the car to an Amilcar guaranteed top speed of 75mph.

1972 McLaren M16B v0.87 Update!

1972 McLaren M16B Indycar v0.87 Update:

1. Updated gear 1 & 2 ratios to provide better acceleration.

2. Three new awesome paint schemes! Now all six McLaren car's schemes are included that raced in the 1972 Indy 500, and there are two more skins that we have copied from other cars, the #40 and #44. I especially like how the #44 looks so aggressive with its red body and wild black stripes.

1923 Tours v0.7 Early Access Release!

All Champion supporters can now download 1923 Tours in the HSS Discord. The track hosted one French Grand Prix, in 1923. However, it is also a fitting substitute for many of the triangular packed dirt road circuits of the 1920s and 1930s.

The 22.83 km triangular Touraine circuit was about 15 km north of Tours. The start near Pailleterie was on Route Nationale 158, heading south towards Tours along a straight of nearly 8 km to La Membrolle (the closest point to Tours). In the heart of t...

August Studio Update!

This video highlights some of the key release dates over the coming year. 

Vote on Which Track All Supporters will Get to Try

Next month we won't be releasing a car mod (see August Studio Update video) as we are going to focus on catching up on car projects we have already released. Instead we will be releasing one of the tracks our Champion supporters have been enjoying, for all of you to try out!

Vote for the Next Track to be Released

This track will be released on September 1st, 2023, for all Champion tier supporters. These two tracks were added when we acquired Grand Prix Experience. Both tracks will need to be updated by our lead track developer, Fourty-Too and the rest of the HSS track development team over the coming months.
