Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix 1.3.3 Is Out Now

February 2020 saw the Intercontinental GT Pack and the big V1.3 update for ACC. And Kunos Simulazioni have been busy looking at testing and feedback since then, which is why Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix 1.3.3 is out now.

Some of the fixes apply to the new Intercontinental GT tracks, with cutting the last chicane at Suzuka during a race of formation lap now triggering a penalty, and grip adjustments for Mount Panorama. But most apply across the game.

It will be available the next time you fire up the Steam client, and the change notes are as follows:
