Kunos Simulazioni release v1.8 Update & Tripl3 DLC Pack for Assetto Corsa! With the second phase of the console launches about to take place in North America, Kunos has still found time to update the PC version of their title to v1.8.
The new update comes with a raft of improvements and fixes, a notable one being shadows and reflections! Kunos has even managed to squeeze out more performance on the game engine side, rewarding players with an increase in frame rate stability! Subsequently, Kunos have already released an incremental update, v1.81 which is also included in this article.
Included in the latest update is a free 1966 version of the infamous banked Monza 1966 Sopraelevata, plus the Monza Junior course and a new free vehicle, the Audi S1 (A1).
The Tripl3 DLC pack, on the other hand, is paid DLC, costing €2,99 and includes the following three vehicles:
Ferrari FXXK
Ferrari 488 GTB
Praga R1 Trackday Prototype
Both the v1.8 update and the Tripl3 DLC pack are now available for download on Steam.
