The best mods in Assetto Corsa continue and this time we are hitting the rally genre. With mods being so popular in Assetto Corsa it welcomes more great content for the community.
Assetto Corsa, already celebrated by virtual racing fans for its believable car handling and a vast collection of community-created content, is now kicking up dust with iconic machines like the Ford Sierra RS 500 Pack and modern contenders such as the Ford Fiesta RS WRC.
Talented creators within the Assetto Corsa community have turned their attention to rally racing, and they are delivering some truly impressive work. If the idea of power sliding a classic like the Toyota Celica ST205 or the nimble Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF S1 through demanding off-road courses appeals to you, then you’re in for a treat.
Even rugged vehicles like the Bowler Wildcat and the futuristic Audi RS Q e-Tron are finding their virtual home in the dirt.
