Assetto Corsa

Assetto Corsa is Kunos Simulazioni's serious driving simulator, developed in cooperation with real-world racing drivers and racing teams at the studio's office inside the Vallelunga international racing circuit. The simulation depth is the central reason the game still anchors the PC sim-racing scene years after release: advanced tyre physics with flat spots, heat cycles, graining and blistering; chassis flex; aerodynamic simulation including active movable aerodynamic parts controlled in real time by telemetry channels; hybrid systems with KERS and energy recovery; and a tactility of feeling that the team prioritised above visual polish.

The tracks are laser-scanned for accuracy — Monza, Silverstone, Imola, Mugello, Spa Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, Nurburgring, Zandvoort, Laguna Seca, plus a historical reproduction of Monza that brings the legendary Sopraelevata banked oval back to life. The car list is correspondingly serious: officially licensed content from Abarth, Audi, BMW, Classic Team Lotus, Ferrari, KTM, Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes, Pagani, Porsche, Tatuus and several others, with the kind of accuracy that real-world drivers actually use the game to practice with.

Game modes cover free practice, AI racing, a career mode, custom championships, online multiplayer, hotlap, time attack, drift events, drag races, and a long list of special events. The setup customisation is exhaustive, telemetry exports for data analysis, and the modding ecosystem — supported officially by Kunos with the same tools the developers use — has produced one of the most active sim-racing modding communities in PC gaming. Triple-monitor view, Oculus and OpenVR/Vive support, Track IR, 3D Vision, and compatibility with effectively every input device on the market round out the hardware support.
