Assetto Corsa Competizione: American Track Pack

The American Track Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione was developed by Kunos Simulazioni and released for PC on June 30, 2022. The publisher for the DLC, as with the base game, was 505 Games. This expansion marked the game’s first major content release focused on North American circuits, broadening its international scope beyond European and Intercontinental GT Challenge venues. It was designed to reflect the growing presence of GT racing in the United States and to support the GT World Challenge America series.

The DLC introduced three laser-scanned circuits: Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Texas, Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana, and Watkins Glen International in New York. Each track was recreated with high precision, capturing their unique layouts, elevation changes, and surface characteristics. These circuits are staples of American motorsport and offer a mix of technical complexity and high-speed sections, making them ideal for GT3 racing. The pack also included support for the GT World Challenge America championship season, allowing players to compete in a structured campaign using these venues.

Promotion for the American Track Pack focused on its geographic expansion and the inclusion of world-renowned U.S. circuits. Kunos Simulazioni released trailers and gameplay footage showcasing the tracks’ visual fidelity and racing dynamics. The DLC was featured in developer blogs, social media campaigns, and community updates, with emphasis on the laser-scanning process and the authenticity of the American racing experience. The announcement was well-timed to coincide with increased interest in GT racing in North America, and it was supported by coverage in sim racing media outlets.

Reception to the DLC was largely positive, with players and critics praising the quality of the track models and the fresh racing challenges they introduced. The inclusion of American circuits was seen as a valuable addition that diversified the game’s content and enhanced its global appeal. Fans appreciated the technical variety offered by the new tracks, particularly the flowing layout of Watkins Glen and the strategic complexity of COTA. The American Track Pack reinforced Assetto Corsa Competizione’s reputation for delivering high-fidelity racing simulations and demonstrated Kunos Simulazioni’s commitment to expanding its content with precision and relevance.
