Can I run Assetto Corsa?
Since the game is already more than a decade old, Assetto Corsa should run on pretty much any relatively modern PC – even low-end ones. The very moderate minimum and recommended specs allow for high in-game graphical settings while maintaining high framerates as well. Still, if your PC is struggling you can always tweak the settings to find a balance between performance and graphical fidelity that works best for you.
What kind of game is Assetto Corsa?
Assetto Corsa delivers a complete package when it comes to racing games. Career mode, custom championships, races against AI, time attack, hotlapping, online multiplayer and more are sure to satisfy every racing itch you might have. The UI is highly customizable, making sure you’ll have a tailor-made interface with all the info you need.
One standout feature of Assetto Corsa is its customizability and the great modding community. This means that AC is still getting content to this day – from user created and fun content to highly detailed and realistically behaving cars made by professional modders.
What do I need to start racing?
Since Assetto Corsa offers such a breadth of content, there is also a wide range of equipment you can choose to match. If you are just starting out and want to cover all bases from road cars to Formula racing, bundles like the Gran Turismo® DD Pro or CSL DD QR2 Ready2Race BMW Bundle deliver a great entry point.
If you find yourself enjoying GT racing the most for example, you can always upgrade to specialized steering wheels like the CSL Elite Steering Wheel McLaren GT3 V2 or even the Podium Steering Wheel GT3 Endurance.
For an even better racing experience, consider getting a dedicated cockpit like the CSL Cockpit or ClubSport GT Cockpit.
