SIRA - Assetto Corsa Evo ('ACE') is the third in the Assetto Corsa series, following the original title, and the Competizione follow-up, which focused specifically on GT2-GT3-GT4 cars.

ACE is already offering a wider umbrella of vehicles -as the original title did- including Road and Track vehicles, but also adding Career, Garage, customisation and other progression metrics in a very much Gran Turismo vane.

The title also heralds a departure from the use of Unreal Engine 4 for Assetto Corsa Competizione, which while certainly pretty, was challenging for lower powered PC's to run effectively. ACE uses an in-house Graphics Engine, and it already looks stunning.

While the Early Access releases haven't been hugely to the liking of fans, SIRA is happy with the quality of content so far - though hoping for more actual Race Cars.

Wikipedia : "Assetto Corsa EVO is an upcoming sim racing video game developed by Italian video game developer Kunos Simulazioni. The game was released as Steam Early Access on 16 January 2025. It is the third installment in the Assetto Corsa series following Assetto Corsa Competizione."

The 'true' successor to one of Sim Racings most highly prized titles, Assetto Corsa (AC Competizione was the 2nd in the AC lineage, but focuses on narrower Car classes)
Already proving itself in regards to physics and handling dynamics
In-house engine appears to be delivering fidelity, following the use of Unreal 4 for Assetto Corsa Competizione
