Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) is a highly realistic racing simulation developed by Kunos Simulazioni and published by 505 Games. As the official game of the GT World Challenge, it delivers an immersive experience with accurately modeled GT3 and GT4 cars from manufacturers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Mercedes-AMG. Using Unreal Engine 4, ACC offers stunning visuals and a refined physics engine derived from Assetto Corsa, setting a new benchmark for realism in GT racing simulations.
The game features a wide range of laser-scanned tracks, including Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, Silverstone, NĂĽrburgring, Suzuka, and Mount Panorama, ensuring accurate replication of every bump and curb. A dynamic weather system introduces real-time changes in rainfall, cloud coverage, and temperature, affecting grip levels and car handling. Day-to-night transitions enhance endurance racing, while tire and track evolution further add to the realism, requiring drivers to adapt their strategy as conditions change.
ACC provides an engaging single-player experience with a career mode, championship mode, custom races, and advanced AI. The AI behaves realistically, making strategic overtakes, defending positions, and responding dynamically to weather conditions. Players can fine-tune difficulty settings to match their skill level and use practice and hot lap modes to perfect their driving techniques on each track.
The multiplayer experience is highly competitive, featuring ranked matchmaking, private servers, and esports integration. The game includes a driver rating system that tracks performance, consistency, and safety, encouraging clean racing. ACC is a key platform for professional esports competitions, such as the SRO Esports series, and supports endurance racing with driver swaps, allowing teams to race together in long-distance events.
Since launch, ACC has received multiple DLC expansions, adding new cars, tracks, and racing series. The GT4 Pack introduces a full lineup of GT4-class cars, while the British GT Pack adds circuits like Donington Park and Oulton Park. The Intercontinental GT Pack expands endurance racing with tracks like Bathurst and Kyalami, while seasonal updates refine physics and introduce new content. With its unparalleled realism, strong esports integration, and continued updates, ACC remains the go-to simulation for GT racing enthusiasts.
