    Sim racing entertainment has come a long way since its early beginnings, with a variety of games and platforms available to suit different preferences and playstyles. Some sim racers still enjoy the hardcore, simulation-focused experiences offered by games like Race 07 or GTR2, while others prefer the more accessible and arcade-style gameplay found in titles like Need for Speed.

    However, there is a new generation of sim racers who are just discovering the joys of virtual racing, and companies like EVO are here to help introduce them to the world of sim racing. EVO, in particular, is focused on providing a fun and engaging experience for newcomers, while still offering the depth and realism that veteran sim racers have come to expect.

    Gran Turismo is another influential force in the world of sim racing, and for many players, it was their gateway into the world of virtual racing. The series' combination of accessible gameplay, stunning graphics, and realistic physics has won over millions of fans around the world, and it's easy to see why. Gran Turismo has played a huge role in bringing sim racing to the mainstream, and its influence can still be felt today.

    But no matter how you got into sim racing, one thing is clear: the hobby is continuing to evolve and grow. With the rise of esports and virtual racing leagues, as well as the development of new technologies like virtual reality and motion simulators, there has never been a better time to be a sim racer.

    At the end of the day, what matters most is that we all share a passion for sim racing and the sense of community that comes with it. Whether you're a hardcore sim racer or a newcomer just discovering the hobby, there is a place for you in the world of virtual racing. So, let's embrace the evolution of sim racing entertainment, and continue to share our love of the hobby with others.

    In conclusion, sim racing entertainment has evolved over the years, and new generations are being introduced to the hobby through platforms like EvVO and games like Gran Turismo. Regardless of how you got into sim racing, what matters is the passion and community that comes with it. Embrace the evolution of sim racing, and continue to share your love for the hobby with others.

    YouTube sim racing streamers are now calling EVO a "simcade" title. The game's cars, currently available for free, will soon be locked again, requiring players to unlock them by playing and winning in-game tournaments. This system raises concerns for online race leagues because if players haven't unlocked specific cars, they may be excluded from participating in events.

    Explore Assetto Corsa EVO's driver academy and license levelling system; video produced by TraxionGG

    In the upcoming segment, the video will present the Academy feature of the game, akin to the style of Gran Turismo, where you can enhance your license and accumulate credits for purchasing vehicles and their accessories. You will witness this in the subsequent video 2-3/4 hours long. I plan to watch it in its entirety later tonight. At this point, if the gameplay of Assetto Corsa Evolution indeed mirrors that of Gran Turismo, not all players will be eligible to participate in the league unless they successfully pass their driver's licenses to earn credits for securing a car to compete in the league. However, this may be subject to change in the future, but for the time being, this is the case.
