Assetto Corsa Competizione - 2023 GT World Challenge Pack DLC Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Watch our full review of both the version 1.9 physics updates and the 2023 GT World Challenge DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione on PC. Let us know if you've picked up the new pack, or have any questions, in the comments below!
V1.9 adds a new tyre model that better monitors tyre pressures and temperatures across the rubber, plus revised damping, bump stops and force feedback. In the end, car behaviour over kerbs should be more lenient and extreme negative toe set-ups are a thing of the past.
Meanwhile, the 2023 GT World Challenge DLC includes the following:
Cars
Ferrari 296 GT3
Lamborghini Evo2 GT3
Porsche 911 GT3 R (992)
Track
Ricardo Tormo Circuit (Valencia)
The Lamborghini also includes a new brake map feature, more details here: traxion.gg/new...
Download free PC ACC Valencia set-ups, used by John Munro to win in the launch-evening content creator event, here: traxion.gg/ass...
The update and DLC are expected for both PlayStation and Xbox, but at the time of publication, we have not received clarification.

1.9 has completely re-invigorated my love for the game. No setup BS. Better FFB. And the Ferrari is magic. I can't stop driving it.

Great review. You guys do such a great job. Also valid point on tire pressure.
Even though I’m on console, I’m looking forward to this update. Sometimes I hate messing around getting the pressure correct. Like you said now with a wider range it should be a lot easier and better to pick up and play, especially when you have limited time to sim race.
SO GLAD they eliminated those ridiculous suspension exploits.
Scotland! Leading the way in super professional, high quality SIM racing reviews and totorials. Thanks to all involved.
This was a double Scottish effort you'll be glad to hear!😂
Plus epic video editing from an Englishman👍🏻
I just love this new DLC. The new physics finally gave some feel to the G29 wheel. The Audi is finally properly powered. Even better now with just the aggressive setup, my times dropped by almost a full second from my personal best. At Monza in 1.8 it was a miracle if i could go sub 1:48:5, now steady race pace of 1:47:7 w/o any aggression on the curbs and the corners; just smooth cruising.
The Ferrari is awesome to drive, although it sounds like a dumper truck, especially compared to the new high RPMs of the R8's V10. In a couple of races following an R8 i couldn't hear my own Ferrari engine so i hit the limiter a couple of times. But what i love the most about that DLC is the shift in pace it did. No longer are there people running 2-3 seconds a lap faster than the real life world record. The front of the pack is now much more compacted, the top 7 times are now all under a second difference, instead of the usual 1-2 seconds 1st to 2nd place. Absolutely astonishing update.
Looks awesome. Would love to see Sebring International Raceway introduced. Laser scanning that track with all of its bumps would make for an amazing sim track.
SRO championships don't race there, so we'll not see it until they do 🤷♂️
I had the same opinion of the new track as you at first, but then also started to get to grips with it and started enjoying it. That opinion might change after 3 races round there tonight 😅
Great review, John. Thank you for keeping your review concise, detailed, and informative for those of us who are just looking to have the update spelled out to us.
5:50 tbh the car sounds really nice in game, the turbo is beautiful
I bought it as soon as it's dropped. Can't wait to try the heavenly sounding the Porsche 992.
I must admit the game is drastically different! I understand people used the toe hack but the truth is you can achieve race lap times similar to eSports guys with out using those gimmicks!
I watched a streamer use the gimmick toe set up at Hungaroring and then compare it to 1.9.. What bothers me most is version 1.8 did allow for toe hacks and some other ridiculous set up gimmicks but at the same time a proper set up, when the time is taken on motec to get it set up right can also be quick.
That streamers gimmick lap times on the Hungaroring were 1:44s. My 30 min stint using the same car (the Audi Evo 2) with a legitimate set up (a couple adjustments to the bump stop and a few clicks here and there on Damping) netted me identical times. My slowest lap was 1:44.7 and my fastest was 1;44.2.
Now I definitely agree the hot lap times were ridiculously faster with the physics exploits but when it came to fuel tanks with 70-20 liters of fuel the lap times between a legitimate, realistic set up created with motec and a exploit set up aren't much different if at all..
Those same set ups I created for the Audi Evo 2 using motec are now significantly slower and have significantly less grip in the front and in the rear at corner exit!
It literally feels like I'm over driving a big heavy street car with under inflated tires in version 1.9. I personally feel like they made all cars feel like GT4 cars!
See the great thing about GT3 cars and the GT3 series around the world is the fact the cars are extremely stable and easy to drive compared to some other race classes. That's why they have Pro-Am and other lower level classes like silver.
Version 1.8 was difficult for the average sim racer who wanted to hop on and race. Version 1.9 will be an absolute nightmare requiring hours of testing car set ups to get the tires correct .
The days of being able to hop on and use the default aggressive set up is gone!
My normal times at say Barcelona which isn't a great track for me is 1;44's. I was struggling to get 1:46s consistently with the occasional 1:45.
My normal time at Imola in the Audi Evo 2 with a legitimate non exploit set up was 1:41.5/9. 1:42s with a full tank of fuel.
Hopped on and did some laps using the same legitimate set up minus some PSI and my lap times were 1:43-1:44 over 2 seconds slower and it feels like I'm fighting the tires every step of way, especially in the first couple laps when their colder!
GT3 cars are supposed to feel planted and stable. Not like they are riding on mush. As an example, under ideal conditions the Merc put up a 2 min flat qualifying lap at Bathurst a few weeks ago. Reason being the GT3 cars are extremely stable and balanced in real life! Exactly what they aren't in version 1.9.
When version 1.8 first came out I thought it was awesome. The added feel I got thru the wheel was insane. Then over the course of a few updates that added feel faded away. In Version 1.9 I feel like I can't feel anything but the tire sidewalls rolling over.
Online lobbies in 1.8 were already full of players spinning out off curbs and going around corners. Making it even more pronounced and easier to spin or lose front grip will make online lobbies full of multi car crashes and players flying off track into walls!
What makes a simulation game great is being able to hop on and drive a car fairly well with the stock set ups regardless of what wheel base you use!! I literally went back and updated my drivers and firmware to make sure that wasn't the reason the cars felt so weird!!
The new physics model makes the cars feel like I'm racing 1960's muscle cars on soft side wall tires vs 2023 GT3 race cars with firm, wide tires!!
Hopefully it gets better with some hot fixes.. but as or right now I'd rather go back to 1.8 or abandon the game all together! They over thought this physics model and imo it's a big miss so far..
im just waiting for next year hoping we get the mustang and the corvette
Same here. Though that will depend on them taking part in SRO competition, as I think so far they're only confirmed for IMSA next year.
@@aojracing4885 well they’re selling them as customer race cars also
@@nineengine3526 Ah, great to know!
I think ACC would just stopped in 2023
Awesome review!
The 296 is an instant love for me. Beautiful car. Drives smooooth, loving it.
I accidentally set off on a few laps in safe preset. Bloomin' car was only a second and a bit under my absolute worked on set ups for weeks M4 lap. There's a possibility that we'll be seeing one make/model grids soon. Lol.
@@MartynCharsley yep, the only downside is the slightly slower top speed on a straight, this thing is insane ^^
I have 1.9, and I'm wondering why the new cars are categorised under "Open Series" instead of GT World Challenge 2023? And also there's no 720S GT3 EVO?
Awesome review my friend !!! thank you for this... Do yo know by chance does this update/dlc content come with the 2023 liveries ??
Thanks very much! It does come with some, but I believe more are on their way in future 😊
We need Philip Island. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
I wish they would give us Sebring, Road America and Road Atlantic then ACC would be complete!
In USA but here let say Algarve,Hockenheim and Valelunga for the most.
Gracias!!! 👍👍👍👍
Aahhh, the 9th review we had this week. But nobody that has shared the new setup meta yet. Good ol' community....
If it helps, we have shared setups for all 3 new cars around Valencia! Just check out our Valencia track guide and you can grab the setups from the link in the description 👍🏼
296 is the new NSX evo 😂
In one year I have done nearly 1000 hours of ACC. This latest update is the biggest disappointment ever. The front of the car feels like its on ice/glass/oil. I used to actually get a buzz from driving ACC but unfortunately that has now gone with numb front ends, zero feeling and sudden losses of grip that are nothing like real world driving. If the game stays like this, i'm done with it after loving it first on PS and then for the lasy year on PC. I don't know what else to say.
Is ACC still kind of iffy in VR?
Oh yes!
What about console I am still on 1.7.2, are we going to get one too, or just pc players, I love racing as much as pc racers, sooo what's up,
FATAL ERRO after instal this DLC, can anyone some help?
Is there a release date yet for console does anyone know?
That's exactly what I'm looking for in th3se comments, any info for console bc I haven't seen the update or dlc for xbox yet
@@kneevie Same.
Not yet sadly!
Feels like we've always been atleast 6 months behind in the past
@@chilli-soup Yep.. Because console is in general... Probably more
When is the update coming to console?
People keep forgetting that it's just a video game. A programmed game that simply has its limitations (like any video game). Trying to turn this into a science is clearly far from reality.
Pretty sure the Porsche race cars are mid engine, even though the road cars are rear engine 🤓
It isn't, it's rear mounted so was the 2019 ver. Read sportscar365 article or others. I think ppl confuse with RSR
The RSR was kind of sort of mid engine, but the R is still rear engine.
As others have mentioned, the GTE Porsche was mid-engined but the GT3 is still officially rear-engined
@@rossjmcgregor i stand corrected 👍
Fingers crossed when it comes to xbox they sort the graphics tht got ruined when the next gen up date came out...
this update made the car felt like i was driving on ice and many poeple in my server agreed. what could be the problem? it cant be tire pressure can it?
Overheating the tyres maybe? Honestly it felt really nice for me, an improvement on v1.8
@@rossjmcgregor definitely not overheating. Car already starts sliding as soon as I leave the pit even with optimum temp. Im also having trouble braking late. I have to brake earlier in 1.9.
Is there any confirmed dates for console?
No, we won’t get it anytime soon. If we’re lucky it will be out in 5 or 6 months, so spring. I’m just guessing based off how long it took us to get patch 1.8 last year.
@@arg_9584 aww, especially because judging by the sound of it the new tyre model will favour my driving style a lot because I struggle with carcass temps
My Logitech Pro has no FF since the update! (Tried it in AC and it was fine). The in-game settings look fine, not sure why it's not working.
when is this coming to ps5
We expect to see it before the end of 2023
So is 27.5 PSI still optimal?
26-27
Waiting on console I guess 😢
You don't want it yet. Seriously.
June 27th
Second. Do I win a biscuit?
Nope, a Pizza
Absolutely. And a nap.
@@TraxionGG I'm onboard with this idea. Need to take a step back from ACC for a few days😂
Sorry but GT7 is better than ACC in every measurable way
Why?
It's horrible, The FFB is out of it's mind and really lumpy, and it loses the rear end in gentle turns more suddenly than flooring the gas in F1 22 coming out of a hairpin.
Absolutely awful.
Only done a few laps with the Porsche but I agree…
Although if it makes it more realistic I’m on board and will just have to improve 😂
Great... What an anti climax
