The Big Assetto Corsa Competizione Interview (Part 1)

[Paul Jeffrey]

RaceDepartment quiz Marco Massarutto and Stefano Casillo of Kunos Simulazioni about the upcoming Assetto Corsa Competizione.

We asked the community to submit a few questions to the developers of the upcoming Assetto Corsa Competizione racing simulation, and frankly the response we received was incredible. Some 245 posts later and we've picked out a few key questions to throw at the guys, with some interesting responses...

So if you are keen to hear more about this exciting new title, catch the first part of our interview at the head of this article, and don't forget to subscribe!

Assetto Corsa Competizione should be available on Steam Early Access Summer 2018.

push me out .. if you implement need to go to pit to clean your air intake from gravel or risk engine overheat/safe mode or just lower power output ..

the time you'd lose till a rescue team tow you out is already a penalty, not always gravel/grass will affect the car performance enough to make a driver pit

 

[Jacques Alluchon]

Just curious to know wether the AI lap times will be related to real laptimes performed by real drivers on a given track?

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

.so hopefully after the pt. 2

Yes Pictures will be on the second article for part 2 of the video Didn't want to overload everyone all at once

 

[Keith Dixon]

Will the cars be as loud as Paul's shirt?

yes .. but often it does .. gravel, grass .. it is not as simple question as 'do we allow people to stuck" or "would players get frustrated it hey get stuck afer 10h of racing"

Thank you @Paul Jeffrey for the interview!
By the way in italian you should pronounce the name of ACC like this: Kompaeteetzionae

Those pictures of BrandsHatch and Lambo on the curb....lovely lighting!

[Paul Bennett]

WEC 2016 would have been fun

IMSA too

 

[Matheus Machado]

I remember racing in Race Departments Aussie Formula Abarth league a few years back in AC and I got stuck in the gravel at SPA which ended my race. Loved the realism and hope that it's there in the new ACC title too. Of course this was completely setup dependent as I had a super low ride height.

Yup, having recently started more serious sim racing at the time I felt very scared running a beachable setup in imola during the Formula Master league.

 

[Er!c]

Looking forward to part 2 of the interview.
Looking forward to ACC even more.

 

[Paul Bennett]

Didn't want to overload everyone all at once

We can handle it. Let's see those pics! I'm tempted to make some inflammatory comments to spur us on to the 200 comments mark...

I love that sort of thing, super serious and hard core all the way!

What I do is make myself a promise that if I crash I have to log off, leave the rig and go do something I don't want to do. This way it really ramps up the pressure and stops me doing stupid "gamey" type actions that spoil races.

Sim racing for me is the realistic alternative to doing real world racing. So the more real I can get it, the happier I am..

My wife's face, im doing the washing .. Why.. I had an accident

 

[Chris]

Great work @Paul Jeffrey! What an incredibly insightful interview!

 

[BhZ]

I'm disappointed by this community...5 hours passed and still 124 comments to part 2

 

[CobraCat]

hahahaha

 

[Terra21]

iirc adjusting the sin numbers etc.. for sand in the tracks surfaces.ini can cause you to get stuck in sandtraps when going into them

 

[Patrik Marek]

IMSA too

sure! but I would prefer WEC , especially from tracks point of view, not a biggest fan of IMSA tracks (with few exceptions)
