Assetto Corsa EVO’s next update to include Audi R8 GT3

The next Assetto Corsa EVO update will continue the recent trend of further race cars to perhaps better align with the title’s multiplayer aspirations.

Following the likes of the Ferrari 296 and Ford Mustang GT3 models in the recent version 0.6 update in April, the next (0.7) early access update will include two GT2-spec motorsport-derived Porsches.

It has now been confirmed that they will be joined by the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II.

One of the oldest currently-homologated GT3-spec machines, with Audi Sport no longer officially backing the V10-powered project, one was used to win last weekend’s GT World Challenge Europe round at Monza.

It will sit alongside a revised ranked multiplayer safety rating system, which in turn follows the addition of multiplayer championships and changes to server hosting. It all points towards a more focused multiplayer offering for the embryonic sim racing title, possibly hoping to draw some of the Assetto Corsa Competizione competitive crowd.

Incidentally, this four-ringed racer was also seen in ACC.

A release date for the next EVO update has not yet been announced, although given the cadence of the car announcements, it’s expected imminently. A road-going Datsun 240Z will also be part of the roster.
