https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/brake-ducts-and-tyre-damage.55903/
NOTE regarding control presets: old control presets created in previous versions may cause issues. It is recommended to delete your old controls.json in Documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione/Config/ and start from scratch.

and from 0.7 :
0.7
Remarks
- please make sure you have fully read and understood this post: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/...rating-multiplayer-esports-event-notes.55894/
- the trackMedalsRequirement goes from 0 to 3 and will ensure that drivers have the corresponding track medal unlocked (on the track you are offering on the server)
- the safetyRatingRequirement goes from -1 (disabled) to 99
- weatherRandomness is 0 for disabled, 1 (or 2) for realistic weather - up to 10 for chaos and insanity

Additionally, we have the first admin commands available. You elevate to admin once by chatting
/admin 4321 (pw according to "adminPassword" in settings.json)

then you can use
/next
/kick <racenumber>
/ban <racenumber>

Kick will prevent the victim to join again during the rest of this race weekend; the ban will be as long as the server is up.
No, there won't be a perma-ban file, that's what an integrated SA system is for. Make sure to use it.

There is also a /restart, but this isn't safe to use in certain conditions - make sure to use this only during the real session time, where the time is ticking down.

• Dynamic and Custom Weather: it is now possible to set a session with a pre-selected and even customized starting condition, enabling dynamic and unpredictable evolution.
• Introducing visual and mechanical damage affecting bodywork, suspensions, aero and a brand-new, sophisticated tyre damage model that brings tyre management and endurance racing to a whole new level.
• Introducing much-needed penalties, without which serious competition is unimaginable.
• A new Multifunctional Widget that will allow players to see real-time track positions, manage pit stop requests and race strategies. This HUD element also allows the player to manage all aspects of car electronics.
• Introducing rating-requirements in Multiplayer, with kick and ban commands.
• Custom Race Weekend mode will allow players to set up a customized race weekend experience.
• Brake air duct simulation: it is now possible to change the brake duct aperture that affects brake – and indirectly – tyre temperatures.
• Introducing the SRO E-Sport GT Series Round 1 Special Event. (Note that this special event is controlled remotely, and may appear shortly following the Steam release).
• And much more, including further Multiplayer and Ratings updates, optimizations, improved collisions and graphical, gameplay and user-interface updates.

Wow that's a novel idea!

 

Looks like its going to drop soon !
from the ACC forum:
It’s the day our sim racers have been waiting for…

Kunos Simulazioni and 505 Games are delighted to finally announce that Assetto Corsa Competizione, the Official Blancpain GT Series game, will be launching out of Steam Early Access soon. Very, VERY soon…

May 29, 2019.

That’s right, we’re launching next month!

Thanks to the extraordinary quality of the simulation, Assetto Corsa Competizione will allow players to experience the real atmosphere of the BLANCPAIN GT SERIES championship, including official drivers, teams, cars and circuits, reproduced in-game with the highest level of accuracy ever achieved.

The final version of Assetto Corsa Competizione will include the following key features:

• MULTIPLAYER AND SINGLEPLAYER MODES: Assetto Corsa Competizione will have an advanced ranking system which will evaluate both individual performance and driving behavior, rewarding the most virtuous drivers and promoting fair play in online competitions. The effective matchmaking function will make sure that users can compete with opponents of similar skill level and easily find online races to join, while the leaderboards will allow the players to compare single-lap performance with drivers from all around the world with the same car, circuit and weather conditions. Career, Championship and Free Play modes will offer a complete and customizable gaming experience, suitable for players of every skill level.

• CHAMPIONSHIP AND CAREER MODES: Assetto Corsa Competizione will include a brand-new Career Mode designed in collaboration with Lamborghini Squadra Corse and official driver Mirko Bortolotti – Blancpain GT Series champion 2017 – who will introduce players to the first driving tests, giving them precious suggestions to start their adventure in the Blancpain GT Series. This mode will allow users to create their own racing team to take on all driving tests and racing weekends with an astonishing level of realism and with the main objective of any professional driver: to win. Championship mode will allow to virtually reproduce the Blancpain GT Series Season in the shoes of one of the official drivers.

• REALISTIC WEATHER CONDITIONS: Assetto Corsa Competizione will include competitions of different durations – from Sprint 60’ races to the famous Spa 24H Endurance race – which will give to players the chance to experience variable weather conditions during the whole race, influencing the track’s visibility and car handling. The possibility to set different weather conditions will help create races that are always different, with outcomes that are never given for granted.

• THE MOST ACCURATE CIRCUITS: Thanks to LaserScan technology, every official circuit is recreated with the utmost accuracy: All curbs and details perfectly replicate their real counterparts, granting a gaming experience as faithful to reality as possible.

• ADVANCED VISUAL AND AUDIO EFFECTS: Unreal Engine 4 will guarantee photorealistic rendering and an accurate representation of scenarios, car materials and weather conditions. Thanks to the multi-channel audio sampling of real GT cars, the game conveys captivating and immersive acoustic surroundings and realistic environmental effects.
