It seems like 2015 may be the year of the prototypes, with so many different ones in development. Kunos Simulazioni is going to be releasing a Sauber C9 for Assetto Corsa. Patrik Sander released the Mazda 787B, one of the higher quality mods for the sim. Now, we have a couple more previews of Porsche prototypes heading to Kunos’ sim, made by two of the rising stars in the modding industry.

First up, we have a third car coming from the_meco. After the Shelby Cobra and Lamborghini Miura (which has just been announced as OFFICIAL CONTENT), he is now tackling the Porsche 917/30. The car was the final iteration of the legendary Porsche 917, and was one of the most powerful prototypes to have raced in a sports car series. The car was powered by a 5.4L Twin-Turbo Flat-12 engine, pumping out 1,100-1,580 horsepower, depending on boost. The car could rocket to a claimed top speed of 240 miles per hour, depending on drag. This car dominated the Can-Am series, with some people regarding this car as “the killer” of the series.

Next up, we have an update on Patrik Sander’s next project. He is working on bringing the Porsche 962C Group C Prototype to Assetto Corsa, and doing it very quickly too! The model is looking great, and he’s close to finishing the exterior. He only announced this project on December 31st, judging by his work, I’d hope to see this before the end of February. This will likely be a great car to go along with the Mazda 787B and Sauber C9, bringing one full-fledged group C field!

These are just some of the great mods heading to Assetto Corsa soon, with a significant amount already available at the Assetto Corsa forums. I also want to highlight some track releases, that you can download and enjoy:
