This is not just a game. This is real sim racing. In collaboration with the most prestigious car manufacturers, Assetto Corsa ups the simulation stakes with a focus on pure driving realism, with pin-point accuracy across every aspect of the game.
Includes over 90 dream cars from Ferrari, Lotus, Mclaren, Pagani, Alfa Romeo, Toyota, Maserati, BMW, Audi, Lamborghini, Ford, Mercedes Benz, and Shelby, all rendered to an obsessive level of detail, each with bespoke handling and performance modelling taken from manufacturer’s real-life data and telemetry.
Using laser scanning technology to deliver complete accuracy, Assetto Corsa boasts 24 configurations from 15 legendary circuits, including Silverstone, Nordschleife, Imola, Monza, Barcelona, Spa Francorchamps and Brands Hatch.
Includes an advanced physics engine with features never seen on any other racing simulator, such as tyre flat spots, heat cycles, graining and blistering

Unless you're looking for e-sports quality competitive online multiplayer leagues, this is the BEST sim out there for force feedback wheels; it detects different wheels, pedals, shifters, handbrakes (on different USB devices!) seamlessly; with the must have community-made Content Manager, changing settings for switching out wheels (F1 vs Drift) or accessories (H Shifter Vs Paddles) is easier than in any other game.

Base game itself doesn't offer too much.
1. Install Content Manager
- Custom Launcher/Management/Graphics app (Install in Root folder)
2. Get some custom Tracks/Cars (Drag Zip/Rar into Content Manager, Install)
Site
Content Type
3. Select Track/Car & Drive
Content manager is nice because it skips the loading screens/credits getting you in game quicker.

The base game of assetto corsa isn't the reason many players love this game. For sure, it has a lot of good content and you could be content with just playing the game stock, but the real experience comes in mods. Do you want a picture-perfect recreation of the tokyo highway system? A full set of 70s touring cars? A realistic rally mode? You can get all of those on the internet. This game has essentialy unlimited content, and that is what makes it great.

Assetto Corsa. In short, buy this game if you have a wheel, and if it's on sale, but only buy the ultimate edition. The base game itself is very lacking in content. So I recommend you get Content Manager too. It makes downloading mods much easier. You probably also want a lot of mods, since the number of cars are limited in the base game. Here's some sites I recommend:
Race Department
AC Drifting Pro
AC Mods
Assetto Corsa Club
Assetto Corsa Mods
Sim Traxx
These are just what I recommend. There's lots of more websites.

Perfect sim game for drifting, cruising, and racing, and the modding community is talented as f**k......the best sim game on PC right now even after so many years, the physics and the sound is the most realistic out of any other sim games out there...If I recommend this game to anyone then you should buy this game on PC rather than in console because PC has a great modding community and also play it with steering or mouse steering (controller and keyboard alone is bad trust me it feels like an arcade game even after messing around with settings for my controller). You need to download (CM) Content Manager for all these mods, this software has a lot of customizing involves, it is the best launcher for Assetto Corsa and it has online servers to drift or cruise around with ur buddies.

My favorite mods for drifting:
CAR PACKS:
WDT (World Drift Tour)
ADC (Aussie Drift Co)
SP etc...
TRACKS:
Drift Playground
Tamada
Akagi etc...
Favorite tracks for cruising:
Mount Akina downhill
(SRP) Shutoko Revival Project
LA Canyons etc...

After 400+ hours in the game its time for a short review.
This racing simulator is a must have for everybody who enjoys racing on the pc.
I call it the swiss army knife of racing sims. This sim together with racedepartment.com will allow you to race almost anything on almost any track you can think of, the modding community is still very active and amazing.
Pair this sim with crewchief and content manager, throw in SimHub for an extra dashboard or transducer and you will have a great time. Also, please give the creators of these great tools/additions a few bucks for their troubles.
Next use content manager to download the shaders patch and bring the sim into 2020 looking pretty close to some modern sims.
Load up this sim with the BMW E30 (dtm spec) on Mugello and race that against 20x 100% AI for 12 laps with a good pedal set and ffb wheel and if you can honest tell me that didn't tickle your racing fancy I would be amazed.

Realistic racing with endless possibilities and great community...
This is Assetto Corsa and it's one of the greatest racing sims out there. First I'm going to show you it's quirks and features and then I'm going to give it a Dapper Dan-score.
Why did I buy it?
Racing games were always a guilty pleasure of mine. As a kid, I've loved Mario Kart 64 and Pole Position 64 in the N64-days. Then NFS came to the PC and we've played that on my friends machine, later M3-Challenge with my dad on our own PCs. As a adolescent I got into Go-Karting and racing never really left me, so I do still race as an adult (4x4s that is).
When I got back into PC gaming I've seen a buddy play Assetto Corsa in my STEAM friends list. This had me intrigued and I took a look at it. Since it was in sale at the time and it's got the Nordschleife, I thought, it couldn't be much of a loss, right?
Fast forward a few weeks...
I have to admit that the base game, while being entertaining, does live from it's official addons and 3rd party mods. I've had my fun with mod cars (like FIA racing trucks), mod tracks and later of course witch the official bought DLCs like the Nordschleife Touristenfahrten (public driving on the Nordschleife as it functions as a toll road when not in racing use), Ferraris, Porsches and Japanese pack.
While it's a lot of fun, it's also got a steep learning curve. A very steep that is. You'll buy it, you'll download it, you'll start it. You'll pick a supercar and your favourite track. And you'll destroy said car in Tourn1 because you can't get your four wheeled dream to turn that corner. Then you'll start researching... and you'll get better, since you'll begin to understand basic driving physics first, advanced driving techniques later. And you'll corner that car from then on. Not always, but most of the time. And you'll start overtaking other drivers online...
Positive
- Great original content (including DLCs), laser scanned tracks, licensed cars
- Good driving physics (people who race other sims like RRE, PC2 etc. say it's the best of all, I don't know that)
- Good 3rd party content (paid or free mods like cars, tracks, liverys, addons)
- Great online community (public servers or closed races), since most people play fair and drive safe
- Endless possibilities in customizing your setups (tire pressure, dampers, etc, etc, etc)
- Customizable experience from beginner to sim racing pro (from track tipps to tire management)
Negative
- Steep learning curve (but if you master it, the reward is huge
- A good wheel is almost a must, playing with a controller is frowned upon
- Your wife might not be happy for you to sit in front of your PC for hours just to be a quarter second faster on the Nordschleife
So, on the weekend category...
- The racing experience is great. Please keep in mind that it's not an arcade racer like NFS but a racing simulator that needs some time to get used to, so it gets a 9/10
- There are endless possibilities for cars and tracks you can race. Racing old Maseratis on the 1966 Monza banked turns? Going on the Nordschleife with an F1-Car? Truck Racing on the transfarragan? You've got it. So this gets a 10/10
- The online community is filled with mostly good people (US / EU servers, don't know for other regions) who won't flame you for pushing them off the track by accident, apologize and be sincere and you'll be golden, so this gets a 10/10.
All in all I'd rank Assetto Corsa a solid 9/10 and recommend it to everybody who'd like to race a good simulator and isn't into arcade style racing.
Add-ons to get
I'd recommend the following addons for AC:
Paid:
- All of the DLCs
Free:
- Heli Corsa (a little ingame radar that shows cars near you, so you'll be able to decide wether to let another car pass or if you have the right to keep your lane)
- Side kick (ingame app that shows your speed, pedal position, lap time, shift spots, etc.)
- Content manager (a tool that allows to start AC directly with the selcted options (car, track, etc.), installs custom shaders etc.)
Have fun and race safe!
