1969 Porsche 917 v0.8 Early Access Release! - Assetto Corsa
Added 2024-04-24 23:26:45 +0000 UTCThe 1969 Porsche 917 was developed in secrecy, with the team's factory drivers even being unaware of its existence until it was revealed in March 1969. The car was brutally fast... but this was coupled with considerable handling problems in medium and high speed corners. These handling issues limited drivers' ability to push the car, and the 1969 Porsche 917 only won a single race, at the 1000km of Zeltweg.
The Zeltweg track is available for AC, where the Porsche 917 took its maiden victory, and you can download Zeltweg here: https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/zeltweg-1966.67840/
Developing this car has been an interesting challenge, as essentially I'm tasked with making a worse handling Porsche 917... but I still want the car to be fun to drive, even if its a challenge. Thus the car has around 50% less downforce in the rear when compared to the 1970 Porsche 917 which is already included in Assetto Corsa. Of course, I've also added lots of CSP goodies and features, such as engine damage performance loss with a chance for misfiring, our VL1960s tires which include 9 contact points, suspension code fixes, FFB improvements, naturally aspirated engine delay, more drivetrain setup options, and custom 1969 liveries.
This mod requires the use of Custom Shaders Patch by Ilja for Assetto Corsa to enable the advanced features. We recommend CSP version 0.2.1 preview 2 for all HSS mods. DO NOT USE CSP v0.2.3 preview 1 with this racecar as it will break the car's physics.
