Assetto Corsa Competizione: GT4 Pack

The GT4 Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione was developed by Kunos Simulazioni and released on July 15, 2020 for PC. The publisher for the DLC, as with the base game, was 505 Games. This expansion introduced the GT4 class to the game, significantly broadening its scope beyond the GT3-focused content of the original release. The GT4 Pack was designed to reflect the official GT4 European Series, adding a new layer of racing variety with vehicles that are less aerodynamically aggressive and more reliant on mechanical grip.

The DLC includes 11 officially licensed GT4 cars from manufacturers such as Porsche, BMW, Chevrolet, Aston Martin, KTM, and McLaren. Each vehicle was meticulously recreated with accurate performance characteristics, handling dynamics, and visual details. GT4 cars are known for being more accessible and balanced compared to their GT3 counterparts, making them ideal for close racing and driver development. The pack also introduced a dedicated GT4 season within the game’s championship mode, allowing players to compete in a structured series using the new class.

Promotion for the GT4 Pack focused on its appeal to both casual sim racers and competitive players. Kunos Simulazioni released trailers showcasing the new cars in action, emphasizing the diversity of the lineup and the close-quarters racing they enable. Developer blogs and social media updates highlighted the technical differences between GT3 and GT4 vehicles, helping players understand the strategic nuances of the new class. The DLC was also featured in esports events and community races, reinforcing its role in expanding the game’s competitive ecosystem.

Reception to the GT4 Pack was largely positive, with players and critics praising the quality of the car models, the driving experience, and the added depth to Assetto Corsa Competizione. The GT4 cars were celebrated for their engaging handling and the fresh racing dynamics they introduced. While some players noted that the AI and balance between classes required fine-tuning, the overall response was enthusiastic. The DLC was seen as a valuable addition that enhanced the game’s realism and replayability, solidifying Assetto Corsa Competizione’s reputation as a leading GT racing simulator.
