With Assetto Corsa, Kunos Simulazioni features a myriad of officially licensed content, including cars from manufacturers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and now Porsche! Oh yeah… netKar Pro only had three out of fifteen pieces of content that were officially licensed the Fiat 500 Abarth AC, the Osella PA-21S, and the Trento Bondone Hillclimb.
Originally announced in December of 2011, Kunos Simulazioni announced that Assetto Corsa would be a huge advancement from netKar Pro, and would incorporate new features, such as Single-Player against AI, an open-ended ecosystem to promote modding, and also acquiring officially licensed content! However, lack of single-player and a very limited third party community led to this sim not gaining the attention it could have.Įnter Assetto Corsa. netKar Pro featured some of the most advanced driving physics in any racing simulator, and featured elements such as dynamic visual tire wear and rain modeling way back in 2007! Another cool feature was the ability to click on different buttons in the car, like in a flight simulator. Assetto Corsa is seen by many in the Sim Racing community as a Spiritual Successor to netKar Pro, which was an underrated Gem in the Sim Racing community.
