• Fix for gear change issues on most models of shifters
  
• Fix for Spanish text description of new cars

Before using SimHub Control Mapper or any similar remapping software, please first try running your input devices with their default configuration and no remapping applied. In many cases, devices function correctly out of the box, and introducing remapping layers can create conflicts, duplicate inputs, or unintended behaviour.

Either way, thank you so much for your patience over the weekend and as usual, please continue to submit any bugs you find in the bug reporting tool.

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.
The Col de Turini is a legendary mountain stage of over 18 km, defined by relentless elevation change, extreme technicality, and minimal margin for errors.

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.

Both stages will have DYNAMIC WEATHER recreating the same circumstances you might encounter in reality where it can mix from snow to tarmac and back to snow again, with DYNAMIC SNOW debuting in Rally simulations for the first time ever. All of this adds up to two cars:

• SKODA Fabia RS Rally2 – 2022 - AWD
  
• Lancia Fulvia Coupe HF – 1970 - FWD

both also available with the new SNOW TIRES to tackle the most extreme conditions. This update comes alongside with general improvements to the game structure, audio, physics and more Assetto Corsa Rally is developed by Supernova Games Studios in technical collaboration with Kunos Simulazioni and published by 505 Games.

Hello Rally Fans,
The next step in the Early Access Program for Assetto Corsa Rally is coming!

We’re incredibly excited to be the first Rally title to introduce a fully laser scanned Monte-Carlo Rally brought to the sim world with uncompromising accuracy.

This iconic location is being delivered as two separate stages, each built to an exceptionally high level of detail, capturing the character, road geometry, and technical challenge that make this area legendary in rallying.

The Col de Turini is a legendary mountain stage defined by relentless elevation change, extreme technicality, and minimal margin for error.
Over 18 km, the road climbs aggressively through dense forest before breaking out onto exposed alpine sections.

The stage is dominated by a near-continuous sequence of tight hairpins, short straights, and off-camber corners that demand precise car placement and disciplined throttle control.

Grip levels are highly variable due to altitude, shading, and surface changes, making tyre management and pace-note accuracy critical. Visibility is often limited, and the narrow road offers few recovery options, heavily punishing over-commitment.

Mechanical sympathy is tested by repeated low-speed acceleration zones, while driver concentration must remain absolute from start to finish.

The Sisteron stage is a fast and flowing 13 km test that contrasts sharply with tighter alpine stages.
It features wide, well-surfaced roads with long, open corners, rapid direction changes, and several high-speed sections where commitment is essential.

The stage rewards confidence and clean lines, with average speeds remaining high throughout.

Elevation changes are less extreme but frequent enough to unsettle the car, particularly over crests that lead directly into fast corners.

Braking zones are critical, as many entries arrive at high speed with limited visual reference. The rhythm is deceptive and mistakes tend to happen when drivers over-commit early and struggle to recover later in the stage.

Aerodynamic stability, braking performance, and accurate pace notes are key to extracting time here.

1.6 litre, narrow-angle V4 engine producing 115-130+ hp which won the 1972 International Rally Championship and the Monte-Carlo Rally.

FIA Rally2-spec car featuring a 1.6-litre turbo engine producing 289 HP won its competitive debut at the Lausitz Rally in November 2022.

As is the case with Monte-Carlo in the real world, the stages have a variety of weather conditions where it can mix from snow to tarmac and back to snow again. We’ve worked this into our dynamic weather system that, as far as we are aware, is the first rally game to feature a dynamic snowy condition.
A scenario can play out where you can start with a sunny, dry stage, and then climb a mountain covered with snow and drop down the other side into sun again.
This makes previewing the weather forecast and choosing suitable tyres before starting the stage to be critical to your performance.

In other rally games you always get snowy OR dry OR wet OR a mix of both, but with snow always modelled in the same location. In Assetto Corsa Rally it can snow anywhere in the stage when the conditions are correct. Obviously using the menus, you can force it to snow, but if the weather is set to ‘Dynamic weather’ and the other variables set to random/realistic then the following rules apply

• Snow starts falling when it’s raining and the temperature is below zero centigrade

• Temperature is dependent on:

  • Location in the world (ambient temp will be higher in Southern locations)

  • Time of day (gets colder after sunset)

  • Altitude (temp decreases with altitude)

Below are the features to be included in the 0.3 update.

More features to follow in later updates.

• Snow will only feature on the two Monte Carlo stages.

• As in Livigno, your car will leave tyre tracks in the snow, but yours will be the only ones. There will be no previous tyre tracks from competitors.

• Tarmac grip is dependent on temperature. The colder it is, the less the grip.

• Studded tyres for more grip on snow will be available, and they can be mixed and matched with tarmac tyres.

Taking on the icy mountain roads of Monte-Carlo demands a very specific kind of grip. To meet that challenge, we’re introducing two brand-new tyre compounds designed for the harshest winter conditions.

As the weather shifts and the stage evolves, choosing the right rubber becomes just as important as your driving line. In Assetto Corsa Rally, you can now mix and match tyre compounds just like in real world rallying.

Whether it’s a combination of Snow and Winter tyres or a full winter setup, you’ll have the flexibility to prepare for whatever the stage throws your way.


“Dear Assetto Corsa Rally community members,
We apologize for going slightly over time with this new update. Our intention was to release it within January, but we preferred to take a few extra weeks to deliver these two new stages "Col de Turini" and "Sisteron" as polished as possible.

The Monte Carlo is a very challenging rally from a technological and production standpoint, but we hope you'll enjoy these authentic 31km of laser-scanned terrain, faithfully reproduced without compromises, just as AC Rally aims to be.
We've also invested a lot of time in introducing new cars, new special events, new driving conditions, such as the dynamic snow/ice driving, and improving the tyre model and FFB.
Two months between updates have proven to be the right amount of time to best handle all the new features we've introduced, and in the future we'll try to stick to this interval.
We hope you'll welcome this update with enthusiasm, and while we may seem quiet, we want to assure you that we follow all your feedback with great interest and careful consideration.

Thank you for your support and patience.

- Supernova Games Studio”

Update 0.3 for Assetto Corsa Rally is targeted for release end of February

Which expands the driving experience by adding snowy surfaces, studded snow tires, the Livigno Ice circuit available in time attack and free practice, the 1973 Alpine A110 Group 4, 25 new ACR Events, plus numerous improvements and bug fixes.

GRAZIE! Assetto Corsa Rally debuted on November 13th, and the welcome you've given us has been extraordinary.



Born in a time when rally racing was gaining momentum, the 1973 Alpine A110 was designed to be nimble, lightweight, and incredibly agile. At the core of the A110 is its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine producing an impressive 180 horsepower.

This power is channeled through a five-speed manual transmission, allowing the car to reach a top speed of approximately 210 km/h (130 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 7 seconds.


The “Ghiacciodromo Livigno” Ice Circuit is a specialized ice driving circuit located on the outskirts of Livigno.

This track, surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, serves as a dedicated venue for ice driving courses, events, and adrenaline experiences on frozen surfaces.

Due to recent physics changes that have impacted achievable times, and in the interest of maintaining fair competition, we will be resetting the leaderboards.

The reset is scheduled to take place at Friday 19th December 08:00 GMT, and there may be up to 30 minutes of downtime during this process.

This was not a decision made lightly, and we understand it may be disappointing for some players. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience, we are also looking into ways to immortalise the leaderboards before they’re reset in the future (potentially a “Hall of Fame”) but further details will come at a later date.

Once the reset is complete, we recommend restarting your game to ensure everything updates correctly.

We have some good news from our partners at Valve, the game will be officially labeled as “Playable” as of today, this is our first step in our journey to deliver the best experience possible on Steam Deck.

The team is keen in giving you the best experience possible on the Steam Deck and they will be hard at work optimising the game over the coming weeks with the goal of getting that lovely green tick in the new year. So hop on early, enjoy the game wherever you are and make sure you give us your thoughts in our Discord [discord.gg]server.

Ask any seasoned driver and they’ll tell you, rally is the ultimate test of skill, focus, and adaptability. Unlike track racing, where every corner is memorised and predictable, rally driving demands that you master not just your car, but also the ever-changing terrain beneath it. Add to that the rapid-fire pace notes from your co-driver, and you’ve got one of the most complex and rewarding forms of motorsport to experience, even in simulation game.

Everyone starts somewhere and these five tips will help you understand the core mechanics, develop better habits, and most importantly, get the absolute most out of your rally sim experience.

________________________________________


Rally driving isn’t about memorising tracks, it’s about reacting to information. Pace notes are your co-driver’s way of describing what’s coming up: corners, crests, jumps, cambers, and hazards. Understanding and trusting those calls is key to staying fast and safe.
Take the time to learn what each phrase means (for example: “5 Left over crest, into 3 Right tightens”) and how your game represents those notes. Once you can visualise the road based on your co-driver’s voice, your driving will transform from reactive to instinctive.
Check out our detailed Guide to Pace Notes to learn what each call means and how to interpret them effectively in Assetto Corsa Rally

________________________________________


Rallying rewards endurance and consistency far more than reckless speed. The fastest drivers are those who can stay smooth, composed, and damage-free from start to finish.
Ease into the throttle and brakes, especially on loose surfaces like gravel and dirt, and avoid hammering the pedals or controller triggers. Controlled inputs maintain traction and stability, helping you stay on the road and out of the ditches, or worse, trees...
Remember: the best rally stage is one you actually complete.

________________________________________


Don’t dive straight into the deep end. Start with driver assists such as ABS and traction control to help you get comfortable. Gradually reduce them as you gain confidence and control.
Begin your journey with slower, more forgiving cars like the Mini Cooper or Peugeot 208. Aim to complete a full rally weekend on each surface type: tarmac, gravel, snow, before moving up through the more powerful car classes. A solid foundation here will make the faster vehicles feel much more manageable later on.

________________________________________


Rally isn’t about instant mastery; it’s about learning, repetition, and refinement. Instead of hopping between countries, cars, or surfaces, focus on one car and one stage at a time.
Get familiar with how your car behaves under different conditions, how to recover from slides, and how to anticipate pace notes with split-second timing. Each attempt will make you smoother, faster, and more confident.
Incremental improvement is extremely satisfying in rally. Shaving seconds off a stage feels like a huge victory and that becomes an addiction.
________________________________________


Crashes, dents, and mistakes aren’t failures, they’re lessons. Real rally drivers often finish stages with battered cars and huge smiles. Learning how to stay calm and adapt when things go wrong is one of the most valuable skills you can build.
Use the repair stages strategically and resist the urge to restart every time you mess up. Focus on improving your overall rally weekend times instead of chasing perfection on individual stages. Consistency beats perfection every time.

________________________________________

So, buckle in, trust your co-driver, and get ready for the most thrilling test of virtual driving skill out there. See you in the stages!
