Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix V1.7.6 Released

The pace of updates from sim racing developers is usually a pretty frantic one, so it’s seemed relatively quiet when Kunos Simulazioni have spent a couple of weeks without an update appearing. But things are back with the 228.51Mb Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix V1.7.6 released for the PC version of the GT3 and GT4 sim.

Much of the hotfix is dedicated to minor 2020 GT3 and GT4 car balancing tweaks, and some UI changes. So you might notice changes to your favourite cars at certain track categories. And importantly, the over-eager flag marshal at Paul Ricard won’t be waving the checkers too early in future.
