Assetto Corsa EVO shares an official COTA lap guide
Kunos has published an official Circuit of the Americas lap guide for Assetto Corsa EVO, covering braking points, racing lines, technical sections, and straight-line speed in the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (964).
We’ve got an official Assetto Corsa EVO announcement focused on driver prep rather than a game patch: Kunos has released a Circuit of the Americas lap guide featuring Nils Naujoks. The post frames COTA as part of Early Access Release 0.2 and points to the broader 0.2 content list in the official announcement.
What changed

- An official lap guide for Circuit of the Americas is now available for Assetto Corsa EVO.

Cars
- The lap guide is demonstrated in the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (964) on road tires.
- It specifically references shift timing, braking references, and kerb usage aimed at keeping the car settled.
Features
- This is instructional content: a detailed driving guide intended to help players improve lap times and technique at COTA.
- The announcement also points readers to the separate Release 0.2 feature and content overview for everything else included in that update.
For league ops, we’d brief drivers with this guide before running COTA and make sure event notes clarify the car/tire context used in the walkthrough.
