ACC player counts in review: May 2023

Last month, the release of the 2023 GTWC DLC pack caused many records for Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) to be broken. But what goes up, must come down. That’s just basic physics. Unless, of course, you’ve reached escape velocity. Did ACC’s player stats escape the clutches of gravity? You’ll find out as we dive into the numbers for May 2023! In this series of articles – I’ve been doing this since March 2020 – I analyze the playercounts from Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) using data from steamdb. I implement the data...

Red Bull ‘Miami’ Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Another one for the flood of 296 liveries I’ve been commissioned to make recently! After the Orion, the Nezzo Racing, Nowell, and 543 Ferrari 296 GT3 liveries, it’s now time to reveal my newest: the Red Bull Miami livery! This was a one-off livery Red Bull used on their cars for the Miami Grand Prix which was chosen for a competition, as seen below. The final result can be seen in the video above or the screenshots below. Do you want to download and use the final livery? Feel free...

Nowell Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Back when I published the Nezzo Racing and 543 Ferrari 296 GT3 liveries, I stated I was being flooded by requests for the 296. This one was part of that flood. And while neither of those commissions was easy, this one was by far the hardest in terms of complexity. The original commission asked for a ‘Unicorns of Love’-like design (pictured below) but with white and grey on black. I was unfamiliar with the Unicorns of Love liveries, but after looking them up I didn’t like what I saw. Not...

Tyrrell P34 McLaren 720S GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

One of my previous commission requests was done by Tim. Tim wanted me to make a livery for the McLaren 720S GT3 based on the Tyrrell P34. The history buffs among us know that the Tyrrell P34, which was entered into the 1976 and 1977 Formula 1 seasons, has had 2 different liveries in its history. First, there was a blue/yellow ELF livery. Then, in 1977, there was the First National livery. Both are great liveries, if I say so myself. Ultimately and after a bit of consideration, Tim decided...

RMG Red Bull Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo || ACC Custom Livery

“A Red Bull livery on a Mercedes?! Are you trolling me?!” That is probably how some people responded upon seeing this post. In actuality, it is a bit more intricate than ‘just’ a Red Bull livery or Red Bull F1 livery on a Mercedes. In fact, this is a commission to convert the 2016 Team RMG #11 Red Bull BMW DTM car driven by Marco Wittmann to the Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo, as pictured below. The final result can be seen in the video above or the screenshots below. Do...

543 Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

A couple of posts ago, I wrote about how many commissions I was getting for the Ferrari 296 GT3. This, well, this is one of those. All the way from New Zealand, I was approached by the owner of 543.co.nz to make a livery based on the design philosophy of his internet/web-development startup. An interesting challenge, allowing for a lot of creativity on my part. Besides the logo, I was able to sneak in a couple of references. Most notably, the white stripes on the front and rear fenders of...

Mihail Simracing M4 GT3 & Cayman GT4 || ACC Custom Livery Commission

After the Orion Ferrari set of liveries I made, I’m back with another set of liveries! This one was made for Mihail Simracing. Despite posting it now, I started (and finished) these liveries way before the Orion set, but I’ve just now come around to posting them. Mihail’s logo features three colours: marker yellow, neon blue and anthracite grey. I used those colors to whip up a design, which I combined with a pattern of streaks he wanted me to incorporate into the livery. The final result of the liveries...

Nezzo Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Even though we often like to pretend we are not Ferrari fans, whenever a new Ferrari race car is unveiled, it is just that little bit more special than a new Porsche or Lamborghini. This is proven by the fact that ever since the 2023 GTWC DLC was released, I’ve been flooded with requests for liveries for the new 296 GT3. In comparison, I received only one for the Porsche 992. And zero for the Lamborghini. This commission was a bit different for me, in that I was given an...

RNF Aprilia Porsche 991 II GT3 R || ACC Custom Livery

I like all motorsports. Be it 4 or 2 wheels. Because of my love for Italy as a country and Bagnaia’s 2022 MotoGP-title win, I made a livery to celebrate. This livery led to me being contacted by an even bigger MotoGP-fan from Portugal, who wanted me to make a Miguel Oliveira-themed livery for the Porsche 991 II GT3 R. Oliveira rides for the RNF Aprilia team alongside his teammate, Spaniard Raul Fernandez. Below is an example of their team colours; a matte green, with a satin copper and blue...

ACC player counts in review: April 2023

With the release of the 2023 GTWC DLC pack, Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) was expected by many (myself included) to set new records in terms of player statistics. Now that the numbers are in, all that remains is to review the numbers. Are any records still left standing, or did April completely obliterate all previous data? You’ll find out, and more, in this post! In this series of articles – I’ve been doing this since March 2020 – I analyze the playercounts from Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) using data from steamdb....
