Kunos Simulazioni has released a new update for their Early Access Beta of Assetto Corsa.
Unlike past updates that always added a new 0.1 version, this is the first update to slow down the numerical progress towards the 1.0 release.
Aside from the plenty of changes & fixes listed below, the new update adds the Mclaren MP4-12C GT3 as reported earlier this week.
Powered by a 3.8 liter V8 bi-turbo engine, the MP4-12C is build to the FIA GT3 regulations based on the MP4-12C road car. The car made its competition debut in the British GT Championship in 2011 and went on to compete in various events, including the Spa 24 Hours race.
Aside from the brand new car, the new version also adds new performance variants of the BMW 1M and the Lotus Evora S and adds a first version of the engine damage feature.
