We spent some time behind the wheel of the recently released console version to see if it’s worthy of the name.SEE ALSO: Racing Simulators: Everything You Need to KnowĪCC is a tough sell in the console world of racing games. Don’t think of ACC as a sequel then, but more as a spin-off. It earned kudos for its accuracy, and strong community support kept the title popular for years. Kunos Simulazioni crafted the original Assetto Corsa in the mid-2010s as a no-nonsense driving simulation title. Veteran sim racers will expect this sort of attention to detail. These GT3-class racers all still feature recognizable road car roots, and that adds to the appeal of sending them flying around the track. But the GT World Challenge includes some other goodies too, like a heavily-modified Jaguar XKR and the Nissan GT-R. The big names are here: Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari. Of course, the cars are the stars of any racing game, and there’s a small but impressive fleet in ACC. You can race in a full 24-hour cycle at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps, and midway through be hit by a random rain storm. What’s more, the game also includes dynamic time and weather. That results in inch-no, millimeter-perfect accuracy. Speaking of lasers, developer Kunos Simulazioni used frickin’ laser-scanning to capture every one of the race tracks in ACC. That laser focus means what is here is of the highest quality. ACC is all about the complexities of sports car racing. There’s no flight-of-fancy multi-hundred car garages here, nor 1000-horsepower Civics. This is the official game of the GT World Challenge series, and thus it features every driver, car, team and track from the 20 seasons. Yes, more than the yearly F1 titles, as great as those are. Assetto Corsa Competizione is the sim racer for that dream.Ĭompetizione-or ACC for those with terrible Italian accents like me-is the most single-minded sim racer I’ve played in years. If you consider yourself a car enthusiast, then at one point or another, you had dreams of becoming a race car driver.
