Assetto Corsa - Your Racing Simulator... FOR MODS!

Now, I realize not everyone is into mods. I'm on the fence, personally. I love well made mods, but I hate how hard they made it joining multiplayer games in RACE 07, GTR2 and similar titles. Because of this, (and the fact that Project CARS has a ton of developer made content) I am fine with the fact that Project CARS will not officially support mods. Assetto Corsa, on the other hand, not only supports mods, but embraces them. And I'm happy with that too! I haven't really gotten into multiplayer in AC, and don't plan on it, so I don't care if mods make joining multiplayer games harder. (Though I'm not sure if it even makes a difference anyway, maybe it doesn't.)

Assetto Corsa has gotten much better with the physics of all the developer cars since it was officially released. For this post, I'm going to list some video's from some of my favorite AC mods. The links to those mods is in the video description of all the video's, so if you really like the mod, open the video in YouTube and you will have access to all the links you need!

427 Shelby Cobra
This car is now on the official car list of Assetto Corsa, but at the time of this video it was one of the best mods available for the game!


Corvette C6R at Golf Course
This car has been updated since this video, but it was already looking great.


Reliant Robin
This car is crazy! Very hard to drive, but fun, in a stupid silly way.


1981 Datsun 720 KC Drift
A fun little pickup truck for those of you who like driving them.


VAZ-2106 at '75 Nordschleife
The VAZ is another silly fun car, at a classic track.


Broadspeed Jaguar XJ12C at Junealillo Hill Climb
The Jag is amazing, as far as big cars are concerned, and the Junealillo Hill Climb is a very fun, technical course.


'92 Honda NSX-R at Glava Zete Hill Climb
The NSX-R is a fantastically balanced car, and Glava Zete is one of the nicest looking mod tracks in the game.




Tesla S P85+
A little bit of a weird car, needs some sound added to it, but interesting to drive, if electric cars are your thing.




Lake Louise
Another one of the truly great mods available for Assetto Corsa! The next version will offer many alternative route's, but the current route is amazing on its own.




'90 Honda NSX at Transfagarasan North
The standard NSX is another excellent handling car, but this track is probably the most epic mod for the game.


Lamborghini Miura
Like the Shelby Cobra before it, this mod will be coming to the official car list soon! They did an excellent job on it, and it is sure to get better once it is officially added to the game.




Herbie at Green Coast Circuit
Yes, even Herbie has made its way into the game! Green Coast Circuit is a great drift track (though that's not really my thing) it's fun to drive otherwise as well, though the foliage is not abundant.




Luccaring (Circuito de' Baluardi)
This track was modeled after the creators home town, and it's a great job! The circuit is fictional, but the roads are all based on real roads.


'99 Mini Rover at Glava Zete Hill Climb
The Mini Rover is by far my favorite FWD car in the game! It's slow as heck, but a lot of fun anyway, at least on a technical track.

BeamNG.Drive Game Review

When I played the game with my X-360 controller, I thought it was neat. The damage physics, the way the suspension moves, the way the body rolls with bumps is just amazing. This game has the best soft-body physics I've seen in any game. When I really fell in love with the game, as you can see in the above video, is when I hooked my Logitech G27 up to it. Wow! The off-road handling is fantastic with a wheel. In my mind, this game is the spiritual successor to the original 1nsane. Of course it doesn't have any of the game modes (it is in alpha) but I've never had this much fun driving off road in a game before. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes driving off-road, and has an FFB wheel laying around. You dont need a G27 to enjoy the game, even a $50 Driving Force Pro would work great with it.

In addition to all the above, the game has a strong, and quickly growing mod community. The first video I have listed below uses a Crown Vic police car mod that I downloaded from the official game forums.



The next video shows all the officially supported vehicles in the game, and the mods available for them.



So if you don't have the game yet, you owe it to yourself to check it out!

Project CARS Artificial Intelligence at 100%, as of Build 887

For a long time, the AI in Project CARS was not one of it's strong points. AI were rather slow, and made a point of ramming into the player controlled car, as well as each other. Thankfully, that's now starting to change! It used to be virtually impossible to play with the AI at 100%, but they are now shaping up, holding a decent line, not murdering the player at every opportunity, and still pretty quick! Below are some video's I made (same race, different views) to show how the AI is behaving now. There's still room for improvement, but they are vastly improved over how they used to be. Enjoy!

Get Project CARS for FREE!!

Project CARS will be released in the US on March 17th, and March 20th in Europe. Because of this, the promotion will run through March 20th.

No purchase is necessary to enter this contest, all you must do is publicly subscribe to this channel, and preferably, watch a bunch of the channel video’s! This channel is mostly for gaming. I generally upload video’s from whatever game I am currently playing, though Project CARS is a rather consistent star on the show. When I watch other gameplay video’s, I usually just want to see the game, and get annoyed by the pointless voice-over that many channels use. Because of this, the majority of my video’s are commentary free. I try to use other methods to communicate to my audience, and in the case of games like Project CARS, they really speak for themselves. I do use commentary on some video’s, such as this one, when I feel it adds value.

The reason your subscription must be public is because there is no other way for me to see that you subscribed to my channel. If I can’t see you, I can’t throw your name into the raffle, and if you aren’t in the raffle you can’t win.

 If the channel has 800 total subscribers by March 20th, one subscriber will be randomly selected to get a gift copy of Project CARS through Steam. At 1400 members, two subscribers will receive the game for free, and at 2000 subscribers, 5 will be selected to receive the game for free! The game will be purchased through my personal Steam account, and gifted to you directly by me, so you must be willing to accept trades to receive the gift.

I am located in the USA, so the gift copy of the game will be from that region. Because of this, the promotion can only officially be open to people in countries that can accept game trades from the USA. I don’t think there would be any issues with redeeming the game in any other territories, so the raffle will include everybody on the subscribers list, and trades will be attempted with all winners. On the off chance that a trade is not possible with one of the winners, then another winner will be selected in their place.

Within a week of the contest ending, a new video will be posted announcing the results of the promotion, and the subscriber(s) who will receive the game. The winning subscriber(s) will also be personally contacted through their YouTube accounts discussion board. The winner(s) should reply within a week of the new video being posted, so arrangements can be made to get the game to you.

I reserve the right to change the details of the promotion as needed for unforeseen circumstances that may turn up. The prizes and promotion goals will remain the same. Please post any additional questions in the comment section.
