For the first time ever, we’re finally delivering a fully laser scanned Monte-Carlo Rally to the sim racing community, including two stages.
The Col de Turini is a legendary mountain stage of over 18 km, defined by relentless elevation change, extreme technicality, and minimal margin for errors.
While The Sisteron stage is a fast and flowing 13 km route. It features wide, well-surfaced roads with long, open corners, rapid direction changes, and several high-speed sections.
Both stages will have DYNAMIC WEATHER recreating the same circumstances you might encounter in reality where it can mix from snow to tarmac and back to snow again, with DYNAMIC SNOW debuting in Rally simulations for the first time ever. All of this adds up to two cars:
SKODA Fabia RS Rally2 – 2022 - AWD
Lancia Fulvia Coupe HF – 1970 - FWD
both also available with the new SNOW TIRES to tackle the most extreme conditions. This update comes alongside with general improvements to the game structure, audio, physics and more Assetto Corsa Rally is developed by Supernova Games Studios in technical collaboration with Kunos Simulazioni and published by 505 Games.
