1970 Lotus 72C Early Access Release! - Assetto Corsa

Added 2025-08-02 08:56:15 +0000 UTC

The Lotus 72 was more than just another innovative design by Chapman. It was the first modern F1 racecar, and it forced an evolution across all teams to try and keep up. The Lotus 72 featured inboard brakes, side mounted radiators in sidepods, and the bodywork itself was designed to pierce through the air. This was highlighted in testing where the 72 achieved a 12 mph faster top speed than the Lotus 49 with the exact same engine & tune. The Lotus 72 would go onto to dominate F1, *winning 26.7% of all races it entered*, claiming 20 Grand Prix victories. The Lotus 72 won constructors championships in 1970, 1972 and 1973.

Our Lotus 72 includes five historically accurate liveries from across the 1970 season. This car relies upon Custom Shaders Patch's extended physics, featuring a physical tire model (as opposed to a single contact point), RainFX support, fully simulated brake temps & fade, engine & transmission damage simulation, and dozens of other advanced improvements over the default AC physics engine. Enjoy!

REQUIRED:
Please remember that HSS mods require the use of Custom Shaders Patch by Ilja with Assetto Corsa to enable the advanced features. DO NOT USE CSP v0.2.3 (preview versions especially).
