Those times when simulation meets reality are some of my favorite times. Recently, we had some crossover episodes that makes it seem really cool what type of world we live in sometimes.
The most recent example comes to us from the folks at one of our favorite sims over here at Traxion, Assetto Corsa by Kunos Simulazioni. A tweet a few days ago from the official AC account expressed their support towards the car manufacturer Peugeot and their new 9X8 Hypercar that will compete in the 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
A teaser video that was used in the build-up to the reveal shows off a hyperrealistic preview of the new vehicle with the words “Produced in collaboration with Assetto Corsa Competizione” displayed at the end.
Kunos Simulazioni has worked closely behind the scenes with car manufacturers in the past, and this tweet suggests some sort of collaboration has occurred with the two companies on some level.
I wouldn’t expect to see this as a playable option in either Assetto Corsa or Assetto Corsa Competizione any time soon, as the former is now seven years old and the latter only focussed on GT cars.
