Assetto Corsa

Assetto Corsa is a racing simulator with single-player and multiplayer modes, licensed cars and tracks reproduced from real-world counterparts. You drive cars with a physics system that models features such as tyre flat spots, heat cycles, graining and blistering, advanced aerodynamics, and hybrid systems with KERS and energy recovery. Its graphics engine uses dynamic lighting and realistic materials and surfaces.

The physics engine draws on practical knowledge from work with people in motorsport. You can adjust car setups and use telemetry for data analysis. Tyre rubber accumulates on the track according to the cars' laps.

Tracks and conditions

The tracks use laser scanning to reproduce real-world racing environments. The selection includes Laguna Seca; Magione, or Autodromo dell'Umbria; Imola, or Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari; Mugello, or Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello; Silverstone GP, International, National and 1967 layouts; Monza and its Classic 60's Edition (3 variants); Nurburgring GP and Sprint; Spa Francorchamps; Vallelunga, or Autodromo Piero Taruffi, and its Circuito Club; Zandvoort; Trento - Bondone Hillclimb; a Drift Track; a Drag strip; and the fantasy tracks Black Cat County and Highlands.

You can adjust the time of day. The sun's position is calculated in real time using the track's geographical coordinates, the time and date, and the sun's curve, to reproduce light conditions at the real tracks.
