Currently available in Early Access on Steam, Assetto Corsa Rally is the newest entry in the acclaimed Assetto Corsa franchise and brings realistic driving physics to one of the most demanding and spectacular forms of motorsport, delivering an authentic and immersive experience that captures the true essence of rallying. The 0.5 Update is the latest free content update for Assetto Corsa Rally with Supernova Games Studios working on further sizeable updates and new content in the future as they race along to 1.0.
For more information about the key features in the 0.5 update, please refer to the overview below:
New: Greece Rally - Loutraki Special Stage
The Loutraki stage is a famous Special stage that was used for years in the World Rally Championship. It starts on the outskirts of the town and climbs into the hills of Aghii Theodori, following roads typical of Greek rally stages: dusty, with stones and boulders at the edges and hazards around every corner. The route is winding, alternating fast sections with wide turns and featuring a medium-width roadway. High speeds combined with broad lines challenge the driver’s concentration and car control, while also allowing plentiful opportunities for drifting.
New: Greece Rally - Elatia Special Stage
Near the town of Elatia, the Elatia–Zeli special stage connects the two settlements and has been used for many years in the World Rally Championship. The roads are wide and dusty, featuring numerous ruts, exposed rocks, and hazards typical of Greek rally stages. The stage is fast and filled with sweeping corners, allowing drivers to fully exploit their cars' power and perform spectacular drifts. However, the high speeds and challenging surface conditions still demand great precision and concentration from the drivers.
New: Online Multiplayer Game Mode - Single Stage
The first phase of online multiplayer introduces custom and public lobbies for up to 16 players in single-stage events, featuring full control over weather, car restrictions, and real-time live spectating. This update also debuts official developer-managed ACR Lobbies, which utilize automatic multiple instances to ensure the community always has open slots to join. Launching with version 0.5, multiplayer features a rotating event calendar consisting of two standard weekly events and one premium event exclusive to the weekend from Friday to Sunday.
New: Physics
This major physics overhaul introduces an upgraded tire model featuring a revised peak slip angle formula that enhances inner tire utility, alongside a more stable load sensitivity calculation scaled by pressure and contact patch size. Surface recognition has been refactored with unique parameter sets and modifier overrides per terrain, complemented by the introduction of longitudinal and lateral bulldozing effects on soft surfaces. Enhanced camber dynamics now scale grip based on load and angle sensitivity, while experimental stick-slip and dig-dependent vibrations reintroduce detailed surface feedback. Additionally, a new dynamic ideal line that widens through corners debuts in Greece, all backed by a global rebalancing pass for all surfaces, cars, and setup presets.
