Release 0.3 for Assetto Corsa Rally is OUT NOW!
For the first time ever, we’re finally delivering a fully laser scanned Monte-Carlo Rally to the sim racing community, including two stages.

While The Sisteron stage is a fast and flowing 13 km route. It features wide, well-surfaced roads with long, open corners, rapid direction changes, and several high-speed sections.
