A while ago, CTDP announced their return to the modding community by releasing the IFM09 mod for Assetto Corsa. CTDP is most known for their Formula One mods for rFactor, and many were hoping that a port to AC could happen. Well, we now have an mod in progress, with F1SR helming the conversion!

CTDP granted permission for F1SR to perform the conversion to Assetto Corsa. Well known community names such as Fonsecker (sounds), SandroX (In-Game Artist) and Bobskype (Physics) are working on the project. The full 2006 Formula One season is planned to be ported, so we can look forward to that!

Above you can see a preview of the Ferrari 248 F1 running around Monza. Fonsecker is making some great progress on recreating the sounds of the V8 Formula One cars with the FMOD engine. The car also looks quite solid, and fits in well with the engine.

I was a major fan of CTDP’s F1 2006 mod when it was first released, so I’m excited to see it coming to Assetto Corsa. I’m not sure how much of the mod’s features will make it to AC, because the rFactor mod changed a lot of the core interface, and featured many different upgrades per car. If those features could make it to Kunos Simulazioni’s sim, we could see the start of something great.

Are you looking forward to CTDP and F1SR’s collaboration to bring F1 2006 to Assetto Corsa? Let us know in the comments!
