Sim Racing Dominates with the Release of Assetto Corsa EVO

Get ready, racing fans! Kunos Simulazioni Studios is bringing Assetto Corsa EVO to Steam Early Access on January 16, 2025. This marks a significant date for automobile simulation enthusiasts.

The initial release will feature a robust selection of 20 meticulously detailed cars and 5 iconic tracks: Imola, Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Laguna Seca, and Suzuka. Despite being in Early Access, expect highly refined physics, precise handling, and remarkably realistic car behavior.

A standout feature is the inclusion of a free-roam mode. Summer 2025 promises a major update, introducing roads surrounding the legendary Nürburgring. This fully laser-scanned open world will span a massive 1600 square kilometers, with gradual expansion planned.

Assetto Corsa EVO aims to challenge established giants like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, boasting photorealistic visuals and cutting-edge physics. The full launch version is slated to include 100 vehicles and 15 tracks, with further additions via free updates. Each circuit will accurately reflect real-world conditions, including tire wear and wet track surfaces, enhanced by realistic animated spectators.

Developers have also improved car dynamics, suspension damping, and shock absorption. Early Access will feature the Driving Academy mode, utilizing the available tracks and requiring completion within time limits. Earning a license in this mode will unlock access to the game's top-tier vehicles.
