Assetto Corsa: Tripl3 Pack Review (Brownninja97)
This falls in the "im not sure" catagory, the quality is there in every part you look and my lack of recommendation is solely that I dont like the cars themselves which isnt a fault of Kunos.
So this comes with three cars, the Ferrari FXX K, Ferrari 488 GTB and the Praga R1.
Ferrari FXX K: This is utterly insane and its name is well earned. There isnt much that can blast out of the corners as fast as this can, the tyres seem to grip forever and then you check the laptimes and wonder how on earth that is possible. It helps that the V12 is screaming at you as this is occuring, the exterior sounds are so nice that you might even prefer to race in chase cam instead of inside the cockpit. Its a bit of a struggle to find a rivalf or this however, the P1 GTR may come in the future but at the moment this is a time attack machine.
Ferrari 488: This car is great, the handling is pretty nice, it will understeer a bit but within a few laps of any course you will hone your ability to counter that, the acceleration is crazy and sometimes makes you think you are in a rear engined car with the amount of traction you can get. Sadly at some point you will compare this to the 458 and realise that the 458 feels better in well everyway, it feels more alive, if you take one lap around a track and you feel at home right away, its slower but you have a smile on your face not to mention the 458 sounds better and has more rivals to race againest. The 488 leaves the sweet spot and thats a shame, I have no doubt others will enjoy it but cant say the same for myself.
Praga R1: This car is a dark horse, one day you will love it, the next day its horrible, its fun on some tracks but on others its so underwhelming. Theres the normal benefits of a ridicoulously light car(seriously, this puts Lotus to shame). Your first impressions will be that this is massively planted but you will notice the instability as you increase your pace and hone your lines, you can have fantastic races with the 911 cup and lotus evora gtc/gx experiencing the weight vs speed races of older times. However for everything I like there is something I dont like, the little Renaultsport engine yanked out of a Megane sounds underwhelming so sound cues can be a bit hard to follow at times. Still undecided as to how much I like/dislike this car.
Overall the quality is there, the sounds are quite good in terms of realism, the 488 sounds horrible but it does in real life as well however I dont particularly like any of the cars in this pack and feel like if they werent in the game I wouldnt lose much. This is the first pack ive disliked or a better term is underwhelmed because its just a bit forgettable after a week as they cant be raced againest much.
