Couldn't see anything after a brief look on the forum but has anyone else seen this game for PC?

http://www.assettocorsa.net/en/

Some of the screenshots look superb and it will have Laudas Ferrari 312T in it as well as a host of other classic F1 and a screenshot of an E30 M3 drifting.

Time for me to build a gaming PC I think

There is a thread somewhere in the depths of the forum.

It looks fantastic and I can't wait. It'll be the only things that pulls me away from playing GTA 5 at the moment.

This links suggests that it could be up for pre-purchase soon [url]http://steamdb.info/sub/29776/[/utl].

Have you played the tech demo or NetKar Pro?

The best simulator that I've seen for years honestly, worthy replacement for rFactor, I just hopes it'll at least match it in the modding department.

Will have to check this out, it looks fantastic!

I've been a PC gamer for many years now, and I've always found it lacking when it comes to decent racing games that have such variety in races/vehicles such as Gran Turismo and FORZA. We may get the likes of Need for Speed and Race Driver, which aren't bad but don't quite scratch the itch that GT or FORZA does.

I do have one fairly good PC racer though, IIRC its just called RACE and its various iterations give mainly European race-classes but I do have a good DLC which gives you some Touring Cars from the 60s and 70s.

Getting close now

Release from developers

Dear followers, finally the AC release is very close.
The Assetto Corsa's official site, www.assettocorsa.net is under maintenance: when it will come back online, all the information about the game, its contents and features, the hardware requirements and much more, will be finally available.
More importantly, the release of Assetto Corsa is imminent. Because of some issues (you can read about that here:
https://www.facebook.com/Assetto.Corsa/posts/72635... we have had to change some assets of our strategy, finding the solution that will make you happy and will let the development team complete its job as soon as possible, and at its best.
Assetto Corsa will be available on Steam Early Access very, very soon. The game will cost 34,99 Eur (allowing to save 22% of the retail price!) and will give you access to the beta version, including its updates, plus the final version.
The latest news is that we have decided to include the Spa-Francorchamps track and three additional GT cars (Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Mercedes-Benz SLS GT3 and Lotus Evora GTC) in the main build of the game, to offer to you the best selection of cars and tracks that we are able to deliver, without any additional cost. We hope you appreciate it. Thanks to this addition, Assetto Corsa will include in total 35 cars, 16 vehicle classes, 11 circuits and 3 additional scenarios. Other extra contents will be added in 2014, in order to guarantee a long-life to this simulation.
The first build of Assetto Corsa includes the main structure of the game and 8 classes of cars for a total number of 11 vehicles, with the aim to guarantee just from the beginning the chance to enjoy the dynamic model of the game racing with different kind of vehicles.
As part of the early access program, an update with new cars, tracks and features will be available every two weeks, adding new contents and improving the existing ones. All the vehicles and tracks will be released in a level of completion close to the final one, with the aim to deliver, starting by the first version, an enjoyable and satisfying simulation, featuring cars and tracks reproduced at their best, with the exception of unknown minor bugs that will be fixed and polished in time for Assetto Corsa 1.0.
During the whole process, the AI, Multiplayer and damage model features will be progressively added in the scheduled time, in order to close in short time the final release, that will include the career mode and other exclusive contents.
Gentlemen, start your modems!

It's being release as a beta with just a few the intended cars and tracks plus no AI or multiplayer until later on rolleyes Personally I'm sick of beta testing half baked products.

Have you been testing Project Cars? Wondered what it was like, I've heard mixed reports.

I found it pretty arcadey. Although it can vary massively from build to build

Fantastic!
Just hope my xbox wheel works with this. I tried the tech preview but couldn't adjust the steering sensitivity. I forget what the adjustment is called now but netkar had it.
I'm picking up a fanatec set next month but wouldn't mind having a go on this now if I can.

This looks a bit good. Anyone know anything more about the car customisation?

I'm tired of waiting for project cars so this may fill the gap nicely, although it looks like I'll be exclusively using the e30. Hopefully the modding community will take to this game well!

Mine was working fine with it (at a fairly low FPS) this morning but now I get an error saying my card isn't DX 10.1 compatible. Card is a Geforce 250 GTS.
Tried updating drivers but still comes up with the same error.
