Assetto Corsa Evo starts in Early Access with a limited gameplay scope with no open world or multiplayer, but 20 cars and five racing circuits are included. Included are the Ferrari 296 GTB and BMW M4 CSL as well as racing cars from Porsche and Mercedes-AMG. Driving takes place in Bathurst, Suzuka, Brands Hatch, Imola and Laguna Seca.

Summary :

The scope of functionality is still limited

As announced in December by Kunos Simulazioni CEO Marco Massarutto, Assetto Corsa Evo’s feature set is still limited to the start of Early Access (EA). Aside from quick races and solo workouts, no other modes are available. There is no multiplayer yet and the open world will be added later this year.

However, the cars can already be admired and customized in the EA showroom. Experience points, rewards and driving profiles as well as the Driving Academy and driving licenses are also already included. Cars can also be purchased or rented. Kunos Simulazioni had promised that additional Early Access content would remain free for release buyers, although the price would increase in proportion to reach over time.

20 cars to start

Exactly 20 cars can be driven in Assetto Corsa Evo. Two of them are purely electric, the others rely on the classic but versatile combustion engine. A total of six racing cars are taking part: BMW M2 CS Racing (2020), Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo (2021), Mazda MX5 ND Cup (2017), Mercedes-AMG GT2 (2023) and Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992, 2021 ). ) .

The remaining 15 cars are spread across different road cars. These include luxury sports cars such as the plug-in hybrid Ferrari 296 GTB from 2021 with a system output of over 800 hp or the BMW M4 CSL, which is still sufficiently motorized with 550 hp. Also represented are the classic Honda S-2000 roadster or the 30-year-old Ford Escort RS Cosworth with 227 hp. Two fully electric vehicles such as the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Veloce SUV and the Alpine A290ß concept car provide variety.

The routes at the start

At the start of Early Access, the route selection is still quite manageable, only five different circuits are accessible. However, there are only true classics from four different continents. Two European circuits are represented: Brands Hatch and Imola. Imola currently features on the Formula 1 racing calendar, while Brands Hatch can boast some Formula 1 history, but is currently visited by the DTM and BTCC, for example.

The Californian circuit Laguna Seca Raceway is represented from the United States. IndyCar Series and American Le Mans Series races take place there. On the other side of the globe, Australian players can show off their skills on the Mount Panorama circuit. The circuit, almost 90 years old, is particularly hilly and has very tight turns. Suzuka will initially be usable as a fifth route. The 5.8 km long racing circuit is located in Japan and has been an integral part of the Formula 1 racing calendar for over 30 years and has often been the deciding race for the world championship.
