Assetto Corsa Rally, the other new Assetto Corsa game released in Early Access this year, has received “release 0.2.” This new content update adds a new course and one new car to the rally sim developed by Supernova Games Studios (with technical partnership with Assetto Corsa devs Kunos Simulazioni) and publisher 505 Games.
The main course of the update is, well, a new course. Assetto Corsa Rally adds the Ghiacciodromo Livigno Ice Circuit, a real ice driving circuit that’s both a rally circuit where folks can learn how to drive in low-traction snow and ice surfaces as well as a testbed by car manufacturers. The circuit set in the Alpine side of Italy in the far north, like the all the available rally stages in AC Rally, have been laser-scanned.
The other content is one new car joining the previously 10-car roster on launch. And it’s the legendary 1973 Alpine A110. That’s the year the inaugural World Rally Championships first held where it was the Alpine A110 that dominated the podium. The original incarnation of the Alpine A110 packs a 1.8-liter four cylinder engine in its tiny and nimble package, but 180 horsepower is all it needs when the car is nimble. It has the accolades to back it too.
With the 0.2 update, Assetto Corsa Rally now adds the option to use studded tyres, and of course, snow physics. There are also 25 new ACR Events to compete in which has been added. Full patch notes can be found here.
Assetto Corsa Rally is currently in Early Access and available on PC (Steam).
