The Italian thoroughbred sounds vibrant and lively thanks to the harmonically-tuned exhaust pipes. Driving a Ferrari is another joy altogether. I drove the British-made Bentley Continental GT3 which has a V8, producing a meaty burble and it sounds exactly like the real deal. Thankfully the same cannot be said for Assetto Corsa Competizione. Gran Turismo Sport lacks the oomph and soul that is conveyed through the engine’s sound. All that’s needed to complete the experience was the smell of burning rubber. It sounded surreal, especially with great audio equipment on hand. My ears were treated with a crescendo of engine revs as we hit the first turn, tyres were screaming for grip. To put it into context, Gran Turismo had quite a subpar sound design with players often comparing the engine notes to a noise of a vacuum cleaner, and after spending close to a thousand hours combined in both Gran Turismo 6 and Gran Turismo Sport, I totally agree. The true jewel of the game comes from the solid sound and audio design, which caught me truly unprepared for the pure eargasmic experience I was about to have.

To increase the realism factor, each track was laser scanned to ensure pinpoint accuracy of each bump, bend and turn. There are Brands Hatch, Barcelona, Hungaroring, Nurburgring, Monza and many more. The range of tracks offered in the game is a treat to drive on as well. There’s A Lot Of Road & Courses To Drive On While I did not have the opportunity to try the game in VR, it’s should be worth a check for those with suitable peripherals. If you have a beefy setup with a mighty graphics card, don’t be shy to crank up the graphics and be amazed by the visuals, or even better, play the game in VR! The game is magnificently optimised for VR gameplay. Let’s take the tail of this Audi for example, the lighting and the reflection looks pristine. Each car has been meticulously modelled to reflect its real-life counterpart.Īs a BMW fan, I am quite familiar with my car of choice, the BMW M6 GT3, and to my eyes, I can confidently say that they have detailed it quite well, and that is a huge positive point in my books. The cars are absolutely detailed right down to the interior. There’s no other way to put this Assetto Corsa Competizione looks absolutely fantastic. For veterans of the genre, this is just another drive, but for newcomers to racing simulations, grab some sustenance, as you’ll be driving around the same track for at least an hour. This is a GT race category simulator, so expect lengthy races once you start off. However, it manages to be outstanding on its own right. It did not appear to be as streamlined in terms of UI and how-it-holds-your-hand-as-you-start-the-game compared to different titles of the same genre such as F1 2019, Gran Turismo Sport, nor Forza. To be frank, the game presented itself to me as a tough game to love initially. As KKP’s resident racing sim aficionado, I had to pick up this game. It ticks almost all of my ‘Racing Sim’ checkboxes. Right off the bat, Assetto Corsa Competizione clicked perfectly with me. So far, it seems to be upholding that title even past its September 2018 release date.

Assetto Corsa Competizione for the PC is nothing less of an extraordinary game, especially since the gaming scene is lacking these types of true driving simulators these days.Īssetto Corsa Competizione touts itself to be the ‘Official GT World Challenge Game’. The passage above describes one of my typical experiences racing at Britain’s iconic Silverstone Circuit. I retook my spot and prepared myself for the Club righthander. I put the car on the inside line and braked hard into the entry of the chicane. At that exact moment, I knew exactly what to do. The Audi was feeling confident, as he braked too early into the Vale chicane. I steered the car back on track and tried my best to stay on his tail. I can only imagine the smug on his face as he took my place. He saw my error and took his opportunity. I took an early turn, clipping the apex quite early, blocking him off the optimal line, but my manoeuvre backfired as I veered off into the grasses. I knew I had needed a miracle if I was to stay in front of him. The R8 was in my dirty air, reeling me in at the Hangar Straight.

However, a driver can only be complacent after crossing a chequered flag. The same can’t be said for the R8 as understeer got the better of his car, I’m glad I wasn’t in that Audi. The telepathic handling of the BMW negotiated the bends well. The Audi R8 LMS was hot on my tail so I didn’t dare to shave off my speed as I head into the esses of Maggotts and Becketts. “It’s the final lap, I slammed the brakes and immediately dropped into third as I swung my BMW M6 GT3 right into Copse.
