For Car Gamers - Assetto Corsa

[RKipker]

For anyone into Car Racer's... this is an incredible game (still in development) which if ordered I believe comes with 1st DLC.  Anyway, I highly recommend this to anyone with a solid wheel setup.  The 458 Ferrari Italia at Imola and the Nürburgring is simply awesome.  No assist of course.

If you like iRacing I believe you'll really enjoy this at a fraction of the cost @ 40US though it was reduced a couple weeks ago to 26.99. http://www.assettocorsa.net/en/

ive been looking into asetto, it does look good!!!,  Ive got rfactor 2 already which gives me my car sim fix. but this looks like a bargain, just might have to log into steam for a purchase!

I have rF2 as well, this is shaping up to be a great game.  Though I like rF2 its been disappointing.  I'm alos a pCARS owner and iRacing...plus of course GTR2 and Evo.

Typical sim racer here...
Played NFS series & raced GTR2, LFS (Live for Speed), rFactor, TOCA3, Race 07, EVO, etc.
Eventually, tried iRacing for (free month) but don't have time to make the high cost worth it.

I have rF2 & Assetto & both show promise, but I am tired of waiting for a trickle to become a river.

This pre-release BS process has taken away the "big deal" of new games that are FINISHED.

The community does not have a big deal weekend where we all get online & race all night like the obsessed geeks we are.

Games just seem to trickle updates, linger longer & maybe, someday, whenever, in a while, the week after next, but maybe longer, maybe even month after next, we can't say for sure because devs are afraid to set dates, but just keep waiting & eventually we can all get online at the same time to race a FINISHED GAME.

Assetto has made progress since it's release, but it seems like slow progress...

Assetto is definitely worth buying when it is on sale, but I have given up on RF2 ever getting mods & revitalizing the community like RF1 did.

I could not agree more King....!  I thought at first with pCARS that supporting the beta testing would be a great way to get what we wanted, but they've just dragged the process out.  I think it's help them get enough money to sort after more licenses... also helps them so manufactures their product developed off the users.

Have you tried pCARS?  If you want to PM me.

Randall, thanks for the offer, pCars looks great, but I don't want to get sucked into another one!

I'll stick with a FINISHED game for now.
When I need some bumpin' & racin' I go to Game Stock Car 2013!!

Game Stock Car 2013 is totally worth buying for anyone who loves to race!

PS: now that I think about it, LFS was a pre-release and they never FINISHED that either!

 I'll be buying this game soon. I hear it's a lot like iRacing as far as handling and driving physics so I'm pretty anxious to try it out!

I think this is a really great game, it will have mods as well and offer good online racing IMHO. 

iRacing's safety rating system sucks IMHO... two tires off track, no lost of control, still safety score lowered...!
