*******************************
First build 1.0 was released on September 2014... So, after few new builds that came in a couple of months, always in the 2014, now I have updated the mod to the DX11.

In these 3 years I learned a lot of things and the remake of this very old mod, can be seen much more like a new mod: don't expect visible improvements into the 3D, because I'm able only to modeling easy parts, but I improved also few 2D for working better with DX11 and I remade the whole physics, from the internal structure to the engine, suspensions and chassis, steering wheel, tires, etc, etc... with the goal to provide to you a "modern" rF2 mod, keeping the features of the original mod in driving... I hope a better feeling for this funny car that comes in 3 different series:
- 500 Assetto Corse
- 695 Assetto Corse
- 695 Evoluzione

Ported by Thuro76 to rFactor2, starting from 500_695 Abarth RFE 1.0 by Slow Motion RFE & Nicola Acciarri RFE. New physic matching rF2 criteria by Nicola Acciarri RFE & Slow Motion RFE. Liveries by LcR. Motec 3D by Alessio Contardi. Thanks to the rF2 community and some guys for their patience and tests!
