The way the cars react to trackside curbs is also unparalleled. I dread to think of the expressions I was pulling as I wrestled an Aston Martin Vantage around the twists and turns of one of the best asphalt stretches the UK has to offer. You need to be completely focussed, headphones on and race-face enabled. The steering is heavy and after ten laps of Brands Hatch GP with a racing wheel, my arms were more lethargic than post-Joe Wicks lockdown workout. If that sounds like I’m damning the game with faint praise, that’s because I am.įrom a driving point of view, Assetto Corsa Competizione succeeds – you could probably guess that it would, right? The 2016 Assetto Corsa still has, for my money, the most realistic corning control that I have ever experienced in a game and Competizione continues this fine tradition.ĭriving in this game is hard. It’s this strange mix of thunderous vehicles and vacuous atmosphere that Assetto Corsa Competizione manages to capture so well. When the inevitable electric future arrives, one thing I will miss is how an AMG sounds completely different to a Porsche, which in turn is unique from the sonorous V8 in a Ferrari or the V10 bellow of an Audi R8. I slowly walked the whole lap while taking pictures and enveloping myself in the sound of racing cars being pushing to their very limits. The event isn’t particularly well attended by the public, but the race lasts for three hours, which is great for me. The sheep in the pen next to Maggots corner were nonplussed, but I was beside myself. The ferocity of over 40 GT3 cars pounding around the haloed Northamptonshire airfield is awe-inspiring. For the past two years, I have been lucky enough to spectate the Blancpain GT Endurance Series – now the GT World Challenge – at Silverstone.
