You may recognize the AE86 as the car used by Takumi Fujiwara in Initial D, a Japanese anime that was so popular among auto enthusiasts that it drove up the car’s price for years, known in the United States as the “Takumi tax” or “ Initial D tax”.
Along with the pack came a patch that introduced Oculus Rift support, allowing users who might otherwise never be able to drive these cars in the real world to explore them in breathtaking detail. Yesterday, Italian developer Kunos Simulazioni released a new Japanese Car Pack for its popular Assetto Corsa simracing title, featuring multiple Toyota classic cars, including three versions of the Toyota AE86 and three versions of the Toyota Supra MKIV. In fact, though they are meant to be used with a variety of games, virtual reality devices like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive seem almost tailor-made for simracing. The world of simulation racing is a relatively small one, but now that the first generation of virtual reality devices is finally on the market, it’s easier than ever to sit at the computer and feel as though you’ve stepped into a real car.
