Why Assetto Corsa on PC Is Still the Gold Standard for Sim Racing

At PASR, we’ve worked with countless sim racing titles, but none have stood the test of time quite like the original Assetto Corsa on PC. Despite launching back in 2014, this legendary racing simulator continues to dominate the world of sim racing — and for good reason.

Whether you’re setting up a custom built PC for racing at home or booking a simulator hire for an event, Assetto Corsa remains one of the most versatile, realistic, and community-driven racing sims available today.

1. Endless Customisation Through Mods
One of the biggest reasons Assetto Corsa on PC still thrives is its thriving modding scene. The game supports a massive range of community-created content — from race cars and real-world circuits to full championship series.

At PASR, we regularly use modded content for our online championships and simulator hire events, allowing us to tailor the experience to any audience. If you’re building a custom built PC, Assetto Corsa offers the perfect platform to explore a universe of racing possibilities.

2. Realistic Physics That Feel Right
Assetto Corsa delivers a fantastic driving experience with physics that still rival newer titles. For sim racers who crave authentic car behaviour, responsive force feedback, and believable tyre modelling, this game hits the mark.

This realism makes it a popular choice on our custom simulators and simulator hire setups at public and corporate events. Drivers of all levels can enjoy a satisfying, immersive experience without needing a racing licence.

3. Ideal for Events and Simulator Hire
Assetto Corsa is our go-to title when it comes to simulator hire. Its quick load times, reliable performance, and wide content library make it perfect for high-paced environments like exhibitions, activations, and racing experiences.

When we bring our rigs to events, Assetto Corsa on PC delivers consistent fun — from 10-minute public taster sessions to competitive corporate time trials. With the right setup on a custom built PC, it handles it all without breaking a sweat.

4. Affordable, Accessible, and Powerful
You don’t need a £10K rig to enjoy sim racing. Assetto Corsa is regularly available on PC for under £10, and with a custom built PC and the right components (many of which we offer through our online store), you can create a top-tier racing setup without overspending.

It’s an ideal starting point for those new to sim racing — and a platform that scales beautifully with better hardware, making it perfect for long-term use.

5. Constant Evolution with Modding Tools
Thanks to tools like Content Manager, Custom Shaders Patch (CSP), and Sol/Pure weather mods, Assetto Corsa has evolved far beyond its original form. Today, you can race in full day-night cycles, with dynamic weather and photo-realistic visuals — all on a well-optimised PC setup.

When clients ask us for advice on what to run on their new custom built PC simulator, Assetto Corsa is still one of our top recommendations.

Why We Still Recommend Assetto Corsa on PC
At PASR, we use Assetto Corsa in nearly every part of our business:
– As the core sim for our online championships
– The main attraction at our simulator hire events
– A popular request in our custom simulator builds
– A reliable choice for customers running Assetto Corsa on PC at home

Its unbeatable mod support, realistic driving feel, and long-term community support make it more than just a game — it’s a platform.
