[Sneak Peek] New showroom

I'm busy working on new tracks and showroom.
So that's a sneak peek of a new showroom releasing soon for you!

[Release] Volkswagen T-Cross Advanced | 1.0

Description

The Volkswagen T-Cross is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) manufactured by the German automaker Volkswagen. It is based on the MQB A0 platform shared with the Polo Mk6, and was officially launched in April 2019. The car is positioned below the T-Roc and alongside the Taigo/Nivus, it is the smallest SUV model from Volkswagen. It is also the second Volkswagen SUV model to sit in the B-SUV segment, after the T-Roc.

[Dev Log] January 2025 Update

Hi everyone!
Greetings for a great 2025 from me!

The year started well and I focused on working some more on my projects for Assetto Corsa. This is just a short article, but I think it's right to keep you updated on what I'm working on.

Cars

I'm trying to set up a simpler and better way to create materials for my cars,

It's still not pretty straightforward, as ksEdit...

[Dev Log] December 2024 Update

Hello everyone.
It's nice to be here again.
It's been a long time since I posted or released anything.

LIFE UPDATE
On October 1st I started a new job.
Many new things to learn, new colleagues, a more distant workplace, but surely some fresh air from the past.
I'm still not sure it's the job of my life, but is good enough, at least for now.
Still, I'm trying to follow some new courses to become a better web developer.
My past work's situation is not...

Important Announcement ⚠️

I have an important change in my life that I need to talk to all my supporters here on Patreon and in the rest of the Assetto Corsa community.

But they are not just static showrooms.

They are customizable.
You can express your creativity, change lights colors and object visibility.
