Early Access continues its development with Release 0.8, bringing new content, additional user generated content abilities and a major VR rework. Where 0.7 opened the door to the AC EVO car editor and the new particle system, 0.8 builds directly on that momentum across three fronts at once: - A substantial content drop that adds three distinctive cars and a brand-new circuit in Kyalami - The next major step for the EVO user generated content ecosystem, with external livery creation and the arrival of multiplayer support for user generated content - A comprehensive VR overhaul that turns virtual reality into a credible, first-class way to experience the simulation. This is a release that widens both what you can bring to EVO and where they can race it, extending the platform outward to the community while making every session, on track or in the headset, run cleaner and look sharper.

New Content

New Cars

Release 0.8 expands the roster with three additions that stretch from uncompromising track machinery to everyday all-weather performance, broadening the spread of disciplines represented in EVO.

KTM X-Bow GT2

One of the most extreme expressions of the modern GT2 class. Built around a lightweight carbon monocoque and a potent five-cylinder turbocharged engine, the X-Bow GT2 distils KTM’s stripped-back, function-first philosophy into a car of brutal directness. With minimal mass and serious aero, it rewards precision and commitment, and joins the EVO grid as one of its most focused customer-racing weapons. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45078659/1b593731629c3501681221cb405826787411eab9.jpg

KTM X-Bow GT4

The GT4-homologated sibling brings the same lightweight DNA into a more accessible package built to GT4 regulations. Agile, communicative and quick to reward clean inputs, it offers a natural entry point into structured customer racing: distinctive in silhouette, honest in behaviour, and an ideal counterpoint to the heavier metal elsewhere on the grid. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45078659/bac420d524d5bb0b739709917f09904936437498.jpg

Volkswagen Golf 8 R

The all-wheel-drive flagship of the Golf range adds an everyday-usable, all-weather performance option to the roster, sitting naturally alongside the Golf 8 GTI that exists already in EVO. Composed, fast and deceptively capable, the Golf 8 R is the understated rocket of the line-up — proof that real pace doesn’t always announce itself. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45078659/23c0989efe4aa28d994e6dfba9bb465be2ff89f9.jpg

New Track

Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit

Release 0.8 adds Kyalami, the historic South African circuit and a venue with deep Grand Prix heritage, now in its modern, FIA-graded layout. Set at high altitude near Johannesburg — where thinner air subtly reshapes engine output and aerodynamic load — Kyalami is a true driver’s circuit: a flowing, undulating sequence of fast esses and committed direction changes that rewards rhythm and bravery in equal measure. Long a fixture of international GT competition, it brings a genuinely distinctive challenge to the EVO track list. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45078659/bbf30c30bdc1ea28f740ba53871c366b438b32b4.jpg

User Generated Content Steps Up: External Liveries and Multiplayer Car Content

Release 0.8 takes the custom content story opened by 0.7 and pushes it decisively forward. Where the first car editor release was limited to Single Player, community-created cars can now be brought into Multiplayer! On the Multiplayer side, the server launcher now supports modded car content, with a SHA verification layer that rejects modified cars or incorrect mod versions before they reach the grid. This keeps competitive integrity intact — every car on the server is the car it claims to be — while finally letting community content take its place in online racing. A new entry-list capability for defining starting order rounds out the toolset for organisers and league operators. For creators, external livery creation support opens the second stage of the roadmap to versatility, moving beyond the car itself toward the personalisation layer that has always been central to Assetto Corsa culture and to the online racing community. KUNOS Simulazioni and 505 Games encourage experimentation but do not endorse or take responsibility for community content that infringes trademarks, licences, brand guidelines or any other policy or law, or that compromises the game’s stability. Creators are asked to respect rights-holders and platform rules when producing and sharing content.

A Major Step Forward for VR

Release 0.8 delivers the most significant VR update of the Early Access cycle to date, reworking the headset experience around performance, clarity and comfort. The headline is foveated rendering, including an eye-tracked variant on supported hardware and more aggressive foveating presets, which concentrates rendering effort where the eye is actually looking, reclaiming performance without a visible cost to perceived sharpness. Around it sits a full suite of new controls and optimisations: a pixel-density slider from 50% up to 150%, a world-scale option, supersampling, and a custom MSAA resolve tuned specifically for VR to reduce aliasing. VR now uses its own dedicated video-settings profile, separate from the flat-screen game, so headset and monitor configurations no longer compete. Performance-minded options, including a ‘prefer FPS over latency’ mode and an optimised pass that skips unnecessary work when upscalers are not in use, give players meaningful headroom to tune the experience to their rig, while the renderer now draws straight into the OpenXR swapchain to avoid an extra copy. The first set of VR options is now exposed directly in the UI, with further settings to follow as the interface is completed (internal: a small number of VR options, including the VR sunglasses mode, are present but not yet fully tuned).

Further Core Improvements and Ongoing Development

Renderer: Dynamic VRAM Management and Visual Fidelity

0.8 continues the rendering overhaul begun with 0.7’s GPU-feedback texture streamer, this time centred on memory. New dynamically resizable texture and mesh streaming pools operate against a real-time VRAM budget, keeping memory use within the available headroom on a given GPU. The work is backed by enhanced VRAM reporting and a new tracking category for non-streamed car resources such as numbers and decals, alongside a broad set of targeted optimisations across particles, clouds, material heaps, readback passes and shadow maps. On the visual side, the release introduces supersampling and enhanced windshield rendering, complete with an updated wiper refraction effect and a new windshield raindrop splash that adds tangible texture to wet running. An updated panini projection improves wide field-of-view framing, HiZ occlusion now uses a reprojected view to mitigate the flickering of trees and other objects at culling edges, and an early-culling issue in mirrors on the ultra setting has been resolved.

A Major Step Forward for VR

Further Core Improvements and Ongoing Development

Renderer: Dynamic VRAM Management and Visual Fidelity

Physics and Handling

Physics work in 0.8 focuses on the tyre-to-track relationship and a round of targeted fixes. The road temperature model has been reworked, and dynamic track maps have been rebaked using revised logic for more consistent grip evolution; weather and dynamic track behaviour has also received various fixes, with calibration still ongoing. Camber is now derived through a geometrical calculation, brake temperatures respond to electronic brake intervention, and rear-wheel steering has been corrected. Alongside these, excessive smoke generation has been fixed and the particle behaviour for wet grass has been addressed.

Gameplay

Several gameplay fixes sharpen the competitive modes. Hotstint timing, results and the lap counter have all been corrected, and a fuel-logic issue — where exceeding tank capacity during a pitstop still influenced stop time — has been fixed. Popup headlights are now correctly synchronised with the gameplay logic.

Multiplayer Stability

Beyond the new modded-content support, 0.8 delivers a substantial pass on online robustness. Multiple crash sources have been addressed — on joining a server, on failed connections, on session switching while a player is still loading, and on a startup edge case — and a freeze caused by input spamming during session join has been resolved. Admin commands now return clear feedback in server and MP chat, players can no longer open the pause menu while driving online, and a bug causing cars to take damage when spawning on a shared box has been fixed.

Graphics and Audio

Cloud levels have been remapped and the wet tarmac shader realigned to the new physics ranges, keeping the visual presentation consistent with the underlying simulation. Race cars now carry plain liveries and the material setup required for external liveries, supporting the modding work above. On audio, a timestamp comparison added to the collision-event filter removes a spurious bottoming sound, and the Ferrari Daytona SP3 receives updated gearbox sounds.

UI and General Stability

The paintshop gains a numberplate selector for relevant cars, and numberplate entry now caps to the maximum number of digits. A freecam widget that failed to show data with the showroom scene selector active has been fixed, and localisation has been updated. Under the hood, 0.8 resolves a crash when changing car setup as a session changes or restarts, adds protection for controls listening during those transitions, fixes a crash when launching the game from a mapped network drive, and removes the brief empty showroom that could appear before the splash screens.

EVO SR - Our brand new, unique Safety Rating System

Rwaggy505Gamessteam_community_announcements

41d ago

Introducing a new Daily Racing Portal Safety Rating system built around one simple principle: Great racing is measured by how you race others, not how well you avoid them. Most systems reward drivers simply for staying out of trouble. EVO SR takes a different approach. We believe safe racing means competing wheel-to-wheel, maintaining close proximity, and doing so respectfully without contact. Other systems measure the absence of incidents. EVO SR measures the presence of clean racing. A driver circulating alone in clean air gains very little in our system. The path to a higher Safety Rating comes from racing close to others, cleanly, consistently, and without unnecessary contact.

How EVO SR Differs

Most platforms calculate safety by tracking incidents per lap, corner, or kilometre. Stay incident-free and your rating improves regardless of whether you spent the race battling for position or driving alone. This means that a driver hiding at the back of the field can earn the same rating as someone racing hard, side-by-side, for an entire race. EVO SR rewards what actually matters: close, respectful racing. We measure the time you spend in close proximity to other cars without contact. Drivers are rewarded for racing wheel-to-wheel and penalised when contact occurs. Drivers who can race closely, consistently, and cleanly see the biggest gains in Safety Rating.

EVO SR in Three Simple Rules

Race close, race clean → SR increases Stay isolated at the back → SR changes very little Race close and make contact → SR decreases Close Racing is Rewarded Safety Rating increases when you spend meaningful time racing near other cars. Battling for the lead, fighting through the midfield, lapping traffic, or running in a close multi-car train it all counts. Who you race against is irrelevant. What matters is demonstrating the ability to race closely and respectfully around others on track.

Contact Attribution Through Data

When contact occurs, EVO SR analyses impact data to better understand responsibility. Few things are more frustrating than losing Safety Rating after being hit by another driver. EVO SR reduces this likelihood by evaluating where and how contact occurred. In simple terms: aggressive driving is penalised, innocent drivers are protected wherever possible.

Severity Matters

Not all contact is equal. A light brush exiting a corner is treated very differently from a high-speed collision. Contact penalties scale according to severity, meaning major incidents carry meaningful consequences while minor racing touches are balanced against otherwise clean driving. Hard crashes leave a lasting impact. Minor rubs are part of racing. Safety Rating Tiers Rookie — 0–19 Where every driver begins Class D — 20–39 Earned through clean, close racing Class C — 40–59 Consistent racecraft Class B — 60–79 Diminishing returns kick in Class A — 80–100 Top tier — earned, not stumbled into

What EVO SR Does Not Punish

Wall Contacts

Solo mistakes are part of learning. Contact with barriers or self-inflicted incidents do not affect your Safety Rating. EVO SR focuses on how you behave around other drivers.

Slipstream Taps

Minor draft contact while racing nose-to-tail falls below the sensitivity of the system. Close racing should not be punished simply for being close.

Being the Victim

If another driver causes avoidable contact, EVO SR aims to recognise responsibility through movement and impact data. If someone drives into you, they should carry the cost, not you. Driving alone does not prove you can race safely around others. Racing wheel-to-wheel, respectfully and without contact, does. Your Safety Rating is earned on track. Time to prove it.

Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access Release 3 is out NOW!

KUNOS Simulazioni and 505 Games are excited to announce that the third release of Assetto Corsa EVO’s Early Access Program is now available for all game users, refresh your Steam client and make sure to update to the new version.

The 0.3 brings a big step forward by introducing a first multiplayer step, introducing important physics updates and audio enhancements, graphics optimization and quality of life improvements. Discover all of the details below:

Multiplayer Mode – Step 1

With this first multiplayer release, KUNOS Simulazioni introduces online racing to Assetto Corsa EVO, allowing players from around the world to race each other for the first time. This first introduction is happening during the Early Access Program, which allows developers to progressively introduce their game into the market with a community driven approach. The goal is to refine all features and the advanced technology behind this driving simulation software, while giving all early adopters the opportunity to test the game and share their feedback, helping to shape an experience that truly meets their expectations.

With the aim to deliver a stable, secure, and high-quality online racing experience the multiplayer system has been developed leveraging on key partnerships with trusted experts to provide a solid online infrastructure for the entire community, as an investment towards Release 4 and its Daily Racing Portal. Servers made available in this initial phase will host up to 16 players in each race, while KUNOS Simulazioni will focus mainly on the overall session related functionalities and stability and, after these are secured, the number of slots per each game server will rise up to track capacity and beyond.

Free Public Servers Available 24/7

A wide selection of public in-game servers will be available 24/7 at no cost for all players to join, featuring a variety of race scenarios, tracks, and weather presets for everyone to enjoy. This effort has been possible thanks to the collaboration with SimGrid, that is KUNOS trusted partner for the Daily Racing Portal releasing with 0.4, helped by their communities, and LowFuelMotorsport, also known as LFM, an incredible sim racing community.

Custom Servers Portal Coming Soon

For those sim racers looking to go further - like community admins, leagues, and event organizers - after the 0.3 release, the Custom Servers Portal will be made available soon, this represents a new platform where anyone can rent and configure dedicated custom game servers.

Early Access release 3 - Key improvements

With the release of Early Access 3, Assetto Corsa EVO delivers significant improvements ranging across physics, audio, and graphics.

PHYSICS

A fully recalibrated tyre model - across all compounds- has been initially released in 0.3.0 Open Beta to gather feedback from a wide variety of sim racing hardware and FFB settings. During the Open Beta of 0.3 in the last weeks, KUNOS also addressed an issue related to tyre damping, which has been limiting the tyre feeling on FFB across a variety of scenarios; these will be released today with version 0.3.3. Release 3 physics updates include several improvements allowing the tires to respond more accurately to temperature, load, speed, and camber changes, delivering a more dynamic and rewarding driving experience. This is supported by a brand-new proprietary suspension algorithm and an upgraded damping system running at 1000 Hz, significantly enhancing vehicle feedback during transitions, braking, and directional changes. Together, these improvements add a whole new layer to driving simulation, where the car will more naturally communicate with the driver and allow more subtle corrections and, overall, a tighter feeling with any car.

AUDIO

Every car now features uniquely detailed ignition and startup sounds, with refined engine timbre and dynamic responses tied to RPM and engine inertia. Further realism comes through enhanced driveline audio, calibrated throttle lag, and torque response that closely mimic real-world behavior. Backfire effects have also been reworked for authenticity, delivering sharp, context-sensitive pops and crackles. These elements provide deeper mechanical feedback and elevate the overall driving immersion.

GRAPHICS & UI

The graphics engine now features improved global illumination, optimized CPU/GPU performance - with most noticeable improvements in crowded scenes, like multiplayer races - and significantly reduced VRAM usage, addressing some of the previous framerate issues. Post-processing effects, like motion blur, have also been refined for greater visual fidelity. On the User Interface front, the Multi-Function Display (MFD) has been expanded with customizable controls, real-time and official leaderboards, and detailed input settings. Additional updates include improved speedometer, tyres, and gear widgets -now featuring pit limiter indicators - for a more informative and race-focused experience.

New Game Contents

Alongside the new Multiplayer mode, the game’s content is expanded with 2 additional tracks and 9 new cars (3 for each category) – a variety of fun and exciting vehicles to suit every taste!

New cars:

BMW M4 GT3 EVO

Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport

Caterham Seven Academy Racer

Dallara Stradale

Ferrari F2004

Audi RS 6 Avant
