Assetto Corsa Zakspeed Escort MK2 GR.5 DRM v0.4 Released

Modding enthusiast Sovers released V0.4 of his Zakspeed Escort MK2 GR.5 DRM for Assetto Corsa. This update contains fixes and optimizations of the graphics, sound and physics parts of the mod. Furthermore, it should bring the mod up to standard with the Assetto Corsa V1.0 changes.

The fast and spectacular turbocharged DRM cars were raced from 1972 to 1985. The DRM championship was regarded as one of the most important German motor racing series of its time. Running on tracks such as the Nurburgring, Hockenheimring, Norisring and the Belgian Circuit Zolder.

The Group 5 series was divided into 2 groups. Division 1 was made up by iconic cars as the Porsche 935 Turbo, Lancia Beta Monte Carlo Turbo and the Zakspeed Turbo Ford Capri’s with engines ranging from 2000 cm ³ up to 4000 cm ³ and Division 2 cars with less than 2000 cm ³ like the Zakspeed Ford Escort, BMW 320i. Many of the drivers did become household names in the international racing scene. Hans Heyer, Rolf Stommelen, Klaus Ludwig, Mamfred Winkelhock, Hans-Joachim Stuck, Harald Ertl and Toine Hesemans, to name a few.
