Assetto Corsa Competizione review

Assetto Corsa Competizione is the most focused racing simulator on this list. It is the official GT World Challenge game, so its Steam page lists official drivers, teams, cars and circuits, with every circuit recreated using laser scanning. The physics model covers tyre grip, aerodynamics, engine parameters, suspension and electronics, and drivers manage ABS, traction control, ignition and ECU mapping from the cockpit. Sprint, Endurance and Spa 24 Hours races run in single player and multiplayer, and Career, Championship and Free Play modes come with tutorials and adjustable aids. Online, a ranking system scores driving behavior and matchmaking pairs players of similar skill. It runs on modest hardware, with 4 GB of RAM as the minimum, and supports VR. The limits are scope and difficulty: it covers GT racing only, controller support is listed as partial, and it rewards a steering wheel.
