Esports aces to race for national pride on Assetto Corsa Competizione in 2022 FIA Motorsport Games The world’s finest esports competitors are set to take part in the 2022 FIA Motorsport Games, with Esports confirmed as one of the 17 competition disciplines for the second edition of the event being staged 26-30 October in Marseille. The 2022 competition will utilise the world-renowned Assetto Corsa Competizione platform with racers competing in virtual GT3 cars – digital versions of the same cars that will compete in GT, GT Sprint, and Endurance disciplines at the event. The Assetto Corsa Competizione platform takes advantage of the long-term experience of Italian developer Kunos Simulazioni. The platform utilises 3D computer graphics game platform Unreal Engine 4 to ensure photorealistic weather conditions and graphics, night races and motion capture animations. It sets a new standard in terms of driving realism and immersion, thanks to its further improved tyre and aerodynamic models. For the 2022 FIA Motorsport Games, Kunos Simulazioni will make a custom build of the circuit for the event. Marco Massarutto, co-founder and Executive Manager of Kunos Simulazioni, said: “We are very pleased to be the choice of the FIA for the Motorsport Games, as with Assetto Corsa Competizione we raised the bar even higher than with Assetto Corsa, bringing the thrill of real racing simulation to a very high number of countries, that we are looking forward to see competing in an event where each of the sim racers can make his or her nation proud. “We love racing and sports, and with Assetto Corsa Competizione each player has the opportunity to prove that skills, focus, and dedication can make the same difference in Esports like when racing on a real track.” Full official announcement here: https://www.fiamotorsportgames.com/...to-corsa-competizione-in-fia-motorsport-games
