Sure is & so is update v1.5 needed to go with it

Kunos Simulazioni released the GT4 Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione on Windows PC via Steam. The Xbox One and Playstation 4 console versions will become available in the fall of 2020.
Together with the GT4 Pack DLC release, Kunos Simulazioni also deployed Update V1.5 for including a healthy list of features, fixes, and improvements. C

The GT4 Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione brings you 11 new cars from the official SRO GT4 European Series.
The GT4 class is an amazing racing category, and although most of the time it is dedicated to amateur drivers, it often acts as a starting point for a driver’s career in a GT racing environment. These vehicles are incredibly exciting to drive due to the equalization of performance across the board. Driver skills are key to succeeding, and this is what any driving enthusiast loves about the GT4 category. When you purchase the DLC, the GT4 class will be fully integrated into Assetto Corsa Competizione.
- Championship Mode: GT4 Season available
- Multiplayer: the relative game update allows players to assign their vehicle to default category slots. So it will be possible to have a preferred vehicle for GT3 only races, one for the mixed class racing, one for GT4 racing, one for Cup, and one for SuperTrofeo. This allows everyone to have their preferred racing car and livery selected prior to Quick Join matchmaking and entering Competition Servers.

Time penalties issued by the race admin are now served on the next pitstop as per real life.
Opens up the possibility of “pitstop ballasts” in organized events with mandatory pitstops.
Time penalties that are not served will be added to the total time on session finish as before.
Server: fixed an issue with post-session state management in Multiplayer.
Serveable penalties (DT, SG) are no longer forced into a to-serve state by default when the car is in the pitlane.
Avoids scenarios where cars can become compromised when receiving an admin penalty inside the pitlane or when already performing a pitstop.
Server: post-race time penalties are now applied to the final results on the session complete state.
NOTE: Final results are calculated when the last car on track crosses the finish line or when the “sessionOverTimeSeconds” phase is up.

The severity of converted post-race time penalties is now track dependent to factor in longer pitlanes (e.g. at Spa).
Server: detection of idle players so that the race complete state (and result generation) does not wait for the session overtime to be over if there are idle cars in the pitlane.
Revised polesitter side on all tracks (both Singleplayer and Multiplayer).
Fixed an issue at Monza where the pitlane status occasionally failed to disable on pit exit.

UI:
Penalty labels: changed background color to grey on session complete state to signify that the penalty has been calculated in the time displayed.

MFD/Setup UI now reliably shows the correct tyre data for all tyre sets used in Multiplayer driver swap scenarios even after non-driving clients dis-/reconnect.

Server: fixed erroneous car visibility in certain situations with limited opponent visibility.

Physics:
Fixed an issue when a puncture caused by excessive tyre wear would compromise the suspension geometry upon returning to the garage.
Similarly to other puncture scenarios (pressure loss and flatspotting), the punctured tyre is now “patched up” after a pitstop/in garage but remains in a critical condition and is not to be reused.
Adjustments to wet tyre wear in different temperatures.

Corrected credits page image compression.
More detailed tyre condition indicator in the Pitstop MFD page for used tyre sets
