Assetto Corsa Competizione GT4 Pack DLC – Introducing the BMW M4 GT4
The initial version of the Assetto Corsa Competizione racing simulator was branded as the official game of the Blancpain GT Series, and later on, rebranded as the Official GT World Challenge game.
ACC started out as allowing players to experience the real atmosphere of the Blancpain FIA GT3 homologated championship, including all official drivers, teams, cars, and circuits of the series. When the organizer SRO lost its title sponsor at the end of 2019, the series was extended and rebranded as the GT World Challenge. Therefore, also Assetto Corsa Competizione became known as the official GT World Challenge game.
In February 2020, developer Kunos Simulazioni and publisher 505Games released the paid (SRO) Intercontinental GT Pack DLC, expanding ACC by adding car liveries, and the Bathurst, Laguna Seca, Kyalami, and Suzuka circuits which are raced on in the aforementioned championship.
But there was more to come. The Italian developer already announced that ACC would be expanded even further with a paid GT4 Pack DLC, and a paid British GT Pack DLC. The ACC GT4 Pack DLC will become available for PC in July of this year, while the PS4 and Xbox One versions will become available in the fall of 2020. The British GT Pack DLC planned for a winter release and will offer 3 new iconic circuits that complete the 7-race calendar of the British GT Championship.
Today, Kunos Simulazioni introduces the BMW M4 GT4 which is the first of 11 new GT4 cars that will make up the GT4 Pack DLC.
The BMW M4 GT4 racecar campaigns in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge in the United States, as well as a number of other sports car series around the world. It made its debut in the hands of customer teams in 2018. That same year, the Professional MotorSport World Expo Awards nominated it for its Race Car of the Year award.
In 2019, the car won the GT4 class of the Blancpain GT World Challenge Asia and 24H Series. It also earned the 2019 team title in ADAC GT4 Germany. The car also gained additional fame in the movie The Art of Racing in the Rain as the car raced by protagonist Denny Swift, portrayed by actor Milo Ventimiglia.
The PC version of the game is available via Steam for €39,99. The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione is available via Steam for €14,99 ( $14.99 – £12.49).
