The next update for the early access of Assetto Corsa EVO is arriving in a few short days, with new cars confirmed including a racing car, a lightweight sports car and a classic and retro car from the same brand.

After we got an update from Kunos regarding the revising of the plan for the AC EVO release, we now have an idea of what content is definitely on its way to the sim in the future. Now we know when the next stage of that plan is releasing, with the next content update arriving on May 7th at 14:00 UTC.

Kunos revealed in a tweet that four new cars are getting added to the sim, and they are the Maserati MC20 GT2, Lotus Exige V6, Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA and the Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione.


That was not all, though: On the official Discord server, the studio announced an additional three cars and two tracks: The Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6, Mazda MX-5 (NA) and Honda NSX-R are also part of the update, whilst the tracks are the previously confirmed Circuit of the Americas and along with that, Donington Park.

Additionally, Kunos will be adding the open mode and career mode they spoke about in their most recent keynote. They also mention that "Step 2" for both VR and triple screen support will be added in, along with new special events, replay tools and gallery and a custom race weekend modifier in single player.

Most people are in the real world and don't even have a 4070... and it's 'most people' that the game is aimed at, what's the point of making something that so few can run, cos if they don't like it, you're buggered!
well this will be the first time I tried the game as I didn't bother with my old 1660, had to save up for ages to get the 7800xt. be interesting to see what performance I get.
 
I have a 7800X3D and overclocked 7900 GRE power limited to 300W, and v0.1.6 gets me mid-80s to 90s FPS with 23 AI cars in clear/overcast conditions. 2K Ultra, Texture Pool set to High, Vehicle LoD- Ultra, Mirrors - Ultra, in-game FSR 3 at Ultra Quality.

It can just about manage 60 avg in the worst case - Suzuka night with rain and 23 AI cars. High 50s typical, and some parts of the track get you 60+ easily. If I'm doing this, I use lossless scaling 3 with native 50 FPS with x2 multiplier for a smooth 100 FPS.

The game runs a bit better on Nvidia 40 series. DLSS 4 DLL swap can get you sharp and clear results at Quality preset. Main problem will be VRAM for RTX 30 series. It's just not enough.
I've only got a 3700X CPU, I'm hoping it won't be too much of a bottleneck and 1080p will be ok.
 
Virtual grass could be pretty cool too, in PMR it feels top notch, guess it was a mandatory requirement to sign the deal with Farming Simulator devs. Looking forward to a tractor/lawnmower mod later on.
So I wasn't crazy, I'm not the only one who think the most impressive (only impressive imo) feature in what was shown was the grass. It looked super realistic! :D

Youtubers not overselling the product like they usually do, a trailer showing videos of cars (70's prototypes, 90s BPR GTs) which have not been announced or shown in the game , everything is strange around that project, except the grass...
