Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access Discussion Thread

[Alfa Romeo GT]

New update may 7 anounced on the discord.

Version 0.2 of Assetto Corsa EVO drops May 7 at 14:00 UTC!

This is Early Access Release 2 (EA2) – and it’s bringing serious heat.


New Cars:

Maserati GT2 – A triumphant return to GT racing. Refined through years of competition.

A track beast with Italian soul.

Lotus Exige V6 Cup – Lightweight, razor-sharp, and track-tuned for pure performance.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA – A high-performance twist on a timeless icon. No electronic aids, pure driving.

Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione – Born from motorsport. Aggressive aerodynamics, raw turbo power, and racing spirit.

Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 – The turbocharged icon. 3.6 liters of raw, analog power from the golden era of Porsche.

Mazda MX-5 (NA) – The roadster that changed the world. Lightweight, balanced, and endlessly fun.

Honda NSX-R – A rare, track-focused legend. Developed with input from Ayrton Senna. Balanced, precise, unforgettable.


New Tracks:

Circuit of the Americas (COTA) – 20 corners of technical mastery in Austin, Texas. Elevation changes, F1-grade layout.

Donington Park – Historic and beloved. A fast, flowing British circuit with deep motorsport roots.Two new challenges. Seven new cars. A massive leap forward.

EA2 is more than just a release – it’s the foundation for what’s next: new gameplay modes, major improvements, and the future of Assetto Corsa EVO taking shape.

Nice news and cars but i wish we will get more original unusual historic tracks, donington, cota doesn't really spark the imagination.
Hope it will show good improvements..

Assetto Corsa EVO Update 0.2 Brings “Serious Heat” With New Cars and Tracks​

Kunos Simulazioni has confirmed the second major update for the Early Access version of Assetto Corsa EVO is scheduled for May 7 at 14:00 UTC...

 

[KinLM]

Hm. Interesting. We haven’t used that particular iteration of the logo for quite some time. I wonder how that came to be/if that was approved or signed off on.

 

[Alfa Romeo GT]

Step 2 about VR... oh my, i am looking forward to test that.
I hope that it will be better than ACC or EA WRC...

 

[Fezzik]

COTA and Donington are very nice additions

COTA and Donington are very nice additions

Donington with an S2000, a GR86, a giulia... it's going to be very fun.

I'm also looking forward to listening to the sound of the Porsche 911 Turbo... or rather to listening to the sound of all the new cars one by one, examining them in VR from every angle.

It's going to be incredible.

I’ll buying a new pc once the multiplayer comes out

 

[05XR8]

Dope video. So nice for a developer to give players(old and potentially new) any bit of information. I'm not even too concerned with the car list. Look like Kunos will deliver a really good player experience.

I’ll buying a new pc once the multiplayer comes out

With this, PMR, Nascar 25 and Wreckfest 2 all coming to console within the next year to 18 months (on current schedules) I'm feeling a bit less inclined to invest in a PC. The £80 games may change that at some point though.

Ah the mods + VR.
I mean if the optimisation will be better than ACC...

But the mod tools shown in the video are tantalizing.

VR is not for me, and as a lifelong console gamer (mostly on PS) mods have never really been a thing. I'm usually pretty content with the standard content, if that's not up to par there are enough alternatives.

Looks like there will be a nice bump in performance.

"I am pretty confident you will see those..[fps increments] PCs are difficult beasts because of the combination of configurations but pretty much every PC we tested scored very big improvements both in the raw FPS and the frame pacing (smoothness) department.. some low spec config went from unplayable (< 15fps) to almost 60 so fingers crossed for tomorrow and I'll hope we'll see big wins everywhere."

The performance here on my PC increased a lot after this update, they worked miracles.

Same here on the last update, but still missing some to be smooth

 

[GranTorino91]

Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione 😍😍😍

 

[Georgfranko]

Can’t wait for COTA and the NSX ))))

 

[Fezzik]

 

[Alfa Romeo GT]

Update is heeeeeere.

 

[Nacho Libre]

Spa and Red Bull circuits, together with 9 new cars are mentioned for the 3rd update, among other things.

 

[Fezzik]

Donington looks nice, but for proper realism I need to see it in its natural underwater condition.

 

[Alfa Romeo GT]

Optimization is infinitely better.
No more stuttering, much more FPS for me.

I'll give it a try in VR.

 

[klondike]

Please post your findings when using VR :-)

 

[Nacho Libre]

I did a quick race at Donington, and it went well, but my driver went invisible in the cockpit view, so the wheel was steered by ghostly hands... Come to think of it, that would be an awesome visual mode.

Good to hear. I am going to try it again as well. Performance was really a dealbreaker for me before. Timetrial with one car on track and still major hickups in the framerate.

 

[breeminator]

So, you run the game up and can choose between career mode and open mode.

Career mode - car collecting game like Forza, GT, Crew.

Open mode - access everything like previous AC games.

I apologise in advance for shouting, but.....

WHY CAN'T ALL GAMES DO THIS?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Scaff]

Had a quick hour to mess around, performance definitely improved, COTA is still horrible as a track, Donington is brilliant. Stand-out cars so far are the NSX and the Alfa Sprint for me, and the MX-5 has enough options to maybe even make @Famine happy.

 

[breeminator]

Is the "Opponent Behaviour" slider new?

As far as I can tell, you can't change it at the moment, but the AI behaviour seems great for the extreme safe end of that slider. They're excessively timid, but that's perfect for the extreme safe end of the spectrum.

I'm really impressed by how much they've improved the game already, it really is a very good experience for just enjoying races against the AI, even at just the 2nd early access release.

The driving line could do with some work, I find if I brake when I see it change from green, it's often too late and I can't make the corner. But that's about the only major flaw I encountered in running a race against the AI.

 

[Cote Dazur]

Great update, thank you Kunos.
Better performance in VR, actually running very well now for me.(RTX 4070 ti Super)
Much improved career mode and open mode. I think this solution is a keeper.
The 3.6 is a dream to drive.
Found the toggle for the HUD, as , for me, moving the HUD out of the way with the mouse, as I have done countless time in 0.1.6, crash the game now.
Overall 2.0 is a giant step forward.
