505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni announced that they will preview upcoming content for the racing simulator Assetto Corsa EVO at the 24 Hours of Spa endurance race in Belgium, and today, we get to see a taste of what will be showcased.
Between June 26 and June 29, attendees at the race will be able to experience the BMW M4 GT3 EVO and the Circuit of Spa Francorchamps, which will be introduced in the simulator with update 0.3.
The update to the game, which is still in early access, is scheduled for the summer and will also include multiplayer, more cars, the Red Bull Ring circuit, and plenty of gameplay and performance improvements.
If you want to check out the content, below you can take a look at both the BMW M4 GT3 EVO and the Circuit of Spa Francorchamps in a trailer and screenshots.
If you’re able to attend the event in person, you’ll be granted the chance to participate in a competition with a Fanatec Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3 for the winner and official BMW Motorsport merchandise for second and third place.
The first 400 participants will receive a limited edition Assetto Corsa EVO t-shirt. Members of the development team (Kunos Simulazioni Co-Founder and Executive Manager Marco Massarutto and Assetto Corsa Franchise Brand and Creative Director Davide Brivio) will also be available on site to meet the fans.
They also provided statements to accompany the announcement. Firstly, we hear from Massarutto,
“Introducing the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, updated to its latest layout and presented live from its real-world counterpart, is the kind of experience that makes us feel privileged and proud to do what we do
We can’t wait to share with all of you the latest additions and updates to the upcoming version of Assetto Corsa EVO, which will soon be available in multiplayer mode.
