Pro Mods, mods, mods
One of the best features of Assetto Corsa is its mod support. The unlimited variety mods bring for car and track selection is already astounding and will only get better with time.
Pro Supports 900 degree rotation of gaming wheel
Assetto Corsa supports gaming wheels and 900 degree rotation while using them. What is even more enjoyable is that the cockpit view animates 1:1 with the rotations of the players gaming wheel while used.
Cons
Con In early access
The game is currently in pre-alpha development stage and as such is poorly optimized, buggy and unstable.
Con Single player is a bit lackluster
The single player mode for Assetto Corsa has all the expected components for a racing game, earning medals in one tier of racing to advance to the next, but still all in all feels a bit thin. Being that the official release is only 1.0 hopefully there will be more added to the game in the future.
