Assetto Corsa EVO: The Rebirth of Open-World Racing
The Assetto Corsa EVO will boost the sim racing genre with its wide open concept. Promising to be a hyper realistic environment for car enthusiasts and sim racers alike, it boasts a massive 1,600km² map of lidar-scanned terrain comprising the Eifel region of Germany. What really sets this game apart, however, is the way in which it strives to marry the thrill of racing with realism regarding real-world locations and businesses.
The Eifel Region: A Lidar-Scanned Wonderland
This highly scenic version of the Eifel region, around the famous Nürburgring, has been recreated by Assetto Corsa EVO with the assistance of lidar scanning. Lidar is a method by which roads, buildings, and natural features are mapped precisely to build an immersive place to drive. Landmarks include not only the beautiful Nürburg Castle, but the famous Nürburgring Welcome Centre as well-and some of Europe's greatest driving roads.
The attention to detail is astounding; players who know the region will find every curve, elevation change, and roadside feature recreated. Be it a winding mountain road or a straight stretch of asphalt just begging to open up the taps and see what the top speed is, the map begs to be explored and conquered.
