On February 19th, the first content update for the early access of Assetto Corsa EVO arrives with Fuji Speedway and two thoroughbred Italian performance cars from Lamborghini and Lancia.

Since releasing on January 16th, the early access for Assetto Corsa EVO boasted five tracks (some with alternative layouts) and 20 cars to choose from. Kunos also subsequently released a roadmap, confirming certain additional tracks releasing at intermittent points before the expected full release later this year.

We are now fast approaching that first point where more content will be added and as shown in the roadmap, that first track is Fuji Speedway in Japan. The circuit is the former home of the Japanese Grand Prix and now the World Endurance Championship's stop off in the land of the rising sun.


The circuit will not be the only piece of content getting added, as two famous Italian marques will be present for the first time in AC EVO.

Assetto Corsa EVO: New Cars​

First up is the Lamborghini Huracán STO, which is the lightweight version of the standard Huracán that has its 5.2-litre V10 producing 640 horsepower, 30 more than standard. As a result, it can go from 0-60mph in just three seconds and all the way to 192mph. Plus, it has all the fins and gills one would come to expect from a Lamborghini of old, compared to the rather aesthetically conservative and tame standard car.

As for the other car, it is the Lancia Delta HF Integrale "Evoluzione 2" which has its pedigree from the world of rallying. Its production ran from 1987 to 1994, and its 2.0-litre turbocharged Inline-4 delivers 215 horsepower that it delivers to all four wheels. Marking a move away from the rear-wheel drive philosophy that the brand prided itself early on during their time in the World Rally Championship with the Lancia Rally 037 or Stratos, for instance.

From my own experience in licensing tracks:

Many tracks include certain "mandatory advertisement boards" which means they are included in the license.
This does not apply to absolutely every banner you see, but some are a "must", others might be "ok" via just asking. (So companies do not license it per se but just asks the company if they are ok with the original advertisement being shown in order to recreate real life as good as possible). Most advertisement is done via this simple "ask for approval" instead of an actual license agreement.
Thanks for the reply. It certainly seemed curious to me. But as you can see, it triggered some!
