Many professional drivers have praised the smooth and natural feeling of the first Assetto Corsa's tire model, with just some minor complaints about a general tendency to have a bit more oversteer than it should.
Now, if one drives any car in ACC or rF2 without TC, the tires seem like they have an on/off switch that toggles between grip and sudden, hard tail-flings. It doesn't have the smoothness of AC at all, and cars are much more of a handful than they should be,
With the TC on, the gap to AC's handling is fairly successfully bridged in ACC. I imagine this is do in large part to it being easy for software on PC to mimic software on a car. One exception I've found is the AMG GT3. There's still a tendency for it to be very snappy in certain situations. In AC, its fish-tailing can be controlled. In ACC, it snaps back and forth very hard. This usually results in a wreck. In rF2, it doesn't tend to fish-tail; the back end just steps out a bit before correcting.
One last thing. I've noticed that the overly forgiving tire model in PC 2 makes some GT3 cars (with their TC completely disabled) handle similarly to the aforementioned sims' GT3s with their TC on! This leads to a philosophical question. If one can sometimes get realistic end results in PC 2, does it matter that they were achieved through unrealistic means?
