Automobilista 2 and Dakar Desert Rally Update & More
Greetings, Wromies! Welcome back to another Weekly Sim Racing News roundup. In this edition, we have some exciting updates and news to share, so let’s dive right in!
Introduction and Short News
First off, we almost didn’t make this news video because our segments this week are quite small. However, we still have plenty of information to discuss, proving that there’s always something happening in the world of sim racing. And as they say, “Many a mickle makes a muckle,” so let’s get into it!
Some noteworthy news to start with: Low Fuel Motorsport has recently shown its support for Assetto Corsa races. While this may not be a surprise, it’s always interesting to see different communities come together. Additionally, tickets for the Sim Racing Expo 24 are already on sale, with a special 10% discount for Christmas. It could be the perfect gift for the sim racing enthusiast in your life!
Dakar Desert Rally Update 2023: New DLCs and Freebies
Dakar Desert Rally has released its Fall 2023 update, which is their biggest update to date. While the game has faced neglect and a lack of user interest, this update brings some exciting new features. Finally, the roadbook editor, replay, and photo modes are available for players to enjoy. As for content, players can now get the Audi RS Q e-tron for free. There’s also a “Snowrunner Cars Pack” available, featuring 5 cars and introducing Snowrunner Rally Events to the game. The game is making efforts to attract Snowrunner players, and it’ll be interesting to see how successful this strategy is.
Asetto Corsa & Co. Decline, EA WRC Shines
While the sim racing community as a whole may be experiencing stagnant numbers, there have been some interesting trends to observe. Asetto Corsa, Beam.NG, and rFactor2 have seen a decline in users, while Asetto Corsa Competizione has only seen a slight increase. However, EA WRC has had a strong start, with an average of 1,231 daily users on Steam alone. Despite the game’s glitches, performance issues, and lack of gameplay, it seems to be capturing the attention of many sim racing enthusiasts. Only time will tell if the game can maintain its user base in the long run.
Button Box Magic? The Cube Controls GT Pro V2
Cube Controls, known for their extraordinary rims, has released the GT Pro V2 Button Box. This button box can be combined with any formula-style rim you already own, making it a versatile addition to your setup. The GT Pro V2 comes with options for 2 or 4 paddles, can be used wired or connected via Bluetooth, and is compatible with Cube Control’s magnetic cable. It also features backlit buttons, an RGB LED bar, and 2 multidirectional joysticks with integrated encoders. While the GT Pro V2 may come with a high price tag, it’s known for its quality engineering and durability.
Snetterton Showdown: Evolution Racing Academy’s Epic Season Finale!
The Evolution Racing Academy is gearing up for their season finale at Snetterton. The Pro-Am and Pro Tier standings are currently locked in intense competition, with tight point differentials between the top contenders. In the Pro-Am tier, Chris Wall is looking to secure a win against Warren and Spitzer, who are only separated by 3 points. The Pro tier also promises an exciting finish, as Hormann leads by 12 points, but Souza, Stein, and Marton are just 10 points behind. It’ll be interesting to see who takes home the victory and sets the stage for the new season starting in the new year.
Automobilista 2 Update: Small Fixes, Big Impact
Automobilista 2 has received an update that addresses some small issues but has a big impact on the game. The F-Classic cars won’t have qualifying tires for now, as the AI was struggling to use them effectively. The baseline tire pressures for F-HiTech Gen2 cars have also been adjusted, so it’s a good idea to revisit any setups you may have done. Additionally, the suspension for the Nissan GT-R has been adjusted. The AI’s racing line has been improved for various tracks, including Interlagos 91 and 93, Oulton Park Classic, Watkins Glen, and Spa 1993. The tire degradation in AI-controlled cars is now closer to that of their human opponents, and the AI has been reminded not to go off-track.
