Fact Checked by 
The Assetto Corsa / Project Cars battle of the racing sims ended up panning out in favor of the former over the last decade with Assetto Corsa still widely regarded as one of the greatest racing games of all time.
It is still looked more fondly upon than its spin-off successor Assetto Corsa Competizione, and, despite high interest in next year’s Assetto Corsa EVO, there are fears amongst those who still love the original, that any follow-up can never live up to the benchmark originally set by KUNOS Simulazioni.
The main reason the original AC has hung around so long is just how moddable it is – dev teams are still producing mega mods for the game and you can pretty much make Assetto Corsa anything you like with a huge array of free and paid-for content.
As well as a hugely active scene there have of course been plenty of official DLC packs over the years and to close out 2024 ahead of EVO’s launch there is a currently a huge sale of pretty much everything Assetto Corsa going on right now on Steam.
You can currently get between 70%-75% off the base games (OG and Competizione) as well as masses of DLC for next to nothing including Porsche packs, Dream car packs, and Japanese car packs all for under $2 apiece.
If you want to cut your costs further and don’t own the base game there are some great bundle games on offer as well. So if you want to stock up ahead of EVO, or even see if the series is for you, you can get yourself set up (with the software at least, we would still recommend checking out what peripheral manufacturers such as Moza Racing have to offer to enhance your experience) very cheaply indeed.
You can also wishlist Assetto Corsa EVO while you are there and check out how that is looking, ahead of its release really soon on 16th January.
