Assetto Corsa Rally Release 0.2 is OUT NOW!
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.
Update Content:
ALPINE A110 GROUP 4 1973
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.
LIVIGNO ICE CIRCUIT "GHIACCIODROMO LIVIGNO"
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.
IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES
- Introduced snow physics and studded tyres
- Improved overall steering wheels support. (We will keep improving the codebase until all steering wheel and sim-racing peripherals are fully supported and working)
- Improved FFB
- Improved Gravel and Tarmac physics
- Improved Audio
- Added show/hide HUD option.
AND MANY MORE!

IMPORTANT NOTICE
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.
