DRM Revival Mod Preview Video

Paul Jeffrey from RaceDepartment gets behind the wheel of the highly anticipated DRM Revival mod for Assetto Corsa and shares his first impressions.

The Assetto Corsa DRM Revival mod by the DRM Modding Team is arguably one of the most wanted mods for the Kunos Simulazioni platform. The release version of the mod will feature some iconic Gruppe 5 cars which raced in the famous Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft during the late 70’s and early 80’s. Prepare to take the wheel of some amazing turbo powered beasts such as the Porsche 935 K3, Porsche 935 k1, BMW 2002 Turbo, BMW 320S, BMW M1 Turbo, Zakspeed Escort, Zakspeed Capri Turbo, Lancia Beta Turbo, Toyota Celica LB Turbo and the Ferrari Facetti/Finotto 308 Carma.

In a perfect world, the DRM Revival mod for Assetto Corsa would have been ready for release during the first quarter of 2017. But as we all know, things don’t always work out as they are intended. Back in April last year, the DRM modding team encountered a few technical setbacks. A series of hardware issues and a drive crash made them lose more than 4 months of valuable developing time. The stroke of bad luck somewhat tempered the motivation, but the team members were committed to continuing work on their awesome mod. And they have kept word.

The spectacular DRM Revival mod for Assetto Corsa is coming along nicely and can be expected to be released later this year. Fingers crossed.

The DRM modding team is a dedicated group of hardcore group 5 fans who set out to create a quality virtual version of the awesome GR.5 machinery. The first DRM mod originated on the rFactor platform. When rFactor 2 was announced, plans were made to bring the mod to the updated ISI platform. Sadly enough, back in 2013, the modding team was confronted with the less beautiful side of the modding scene. With bad modding ethics, mod ripping and payware mods becoming common practice, thing were going from bad to worse. After numerous content rips and unofficial releases that contained stolen parts of the DRM mod, the DRM Modding team decided to abandon the rFactor 2 project.

But times are changing. Now that the rFactor 2 development is taken over by Studio 397, there are plans to provide Third Party Support to rFactor 2. This means that modding teams will get the opportunity to publish their creations via the rFactor 2 store with the official licenses and agreements in place. Who knows, this might be the perfect second chance for the DRM team to bring the DRM Revival mod home to rF2.

Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft – Gruppe 5

The DRM Revival Mod will recreate the fast and spectacular DRM Cars that were raced from 1972 to 1985. The DRM 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 have become household names in the international racing scene. Hans Heyer, Rolf Stommelen, Klaus Ludwig, Manfred Winkelhock, Hans-Joachim Stuck, Harald Ertl and Toine Hezemans, to name a few.
