CHANGELOG

NEW CONTENT

•Added 2 new cars: Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car and Subaru Impreza S3 Gr.A 1993

•Added snowy weather conditions in Rally Alsace and Rally Wales

•Added 2 new Assetto Corsa Rally Events groups for the 2 new cars, for a total of 12 new events

•Addes 1 event each (3 total) in the FWD, RWD and 4WD Traction groups with mixed weather conditions

•Add 3 new partners in the Rally Encyclopedia

CARS

•Fixed go-pro cameras in replays clipping with bodywork on ultra-wide resolutions in Hyundai i20

•Fixed gameplay cameras clipping with damaged bodywork in Citroen Xsara WRC

•Fixed exposure of “Between Heads” and Driver/Co-Driver go-pro cameras in replays for all cars

•Reduced direction-based ambient occlusion on cars

•Updated LCD on Lancia Delta

•Updated license plates on Skoda Fabia

•Added competition logos on all cars

•Made the back face of window stickers less saturated (simulated the paper backing)

•Many minor bug fixes across all cars

INPUT

•Implemented Fanatec FullForce and Logitech TrueForce, with new in-game FFB parameter to be tuned by users

•Improved generic devices compatibility. This enables more devices to work as expected.

PHYSICS

•Added angular damping to small movable objects to prevent unrealistic spinning

•Added Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car and Subaru Impreza S3 Group A

•With the Peugeot 306, it was made available for the first time the adjustment of brake bias through a pressure limiter valve (similarly to tandem master cylinders cars) instead of a balance bar. This, despite the car having a dual master cylinder setup. This allows the driver to reduce rear brake pressure without increasing the front one.

•Further tires tuning for all surfaces, in particular:

•The way wet conditions and snow affect tire forces has been modified; they no longer reduce cornering stiffness, and the S-shaped curve is effectively cut off when grip is saturated.

•In the case of snow, an additional experimental deformation component has been added to the slip angle, which increases the more suitable a tire is for snow. This simulates the tire actually gripping the underlying surface.

•These changes make the transition between grip and no grip more immediate and noticeable on both wet and snowy surfaces, improving the car’s responsiveness in the wet and its controllability on snow.

•The parameters related to the tire’s dynamic masses and damping have been fine-tuned for more consistent force delivery.

•The ability to grip on snow has been added to gravel tires, making them suitable for driving on snowy gravel roads.

•The parameters of the tire’s S-shaped curve have been adjusted based on test data.

•The load sensitivity parameters of some tires have been refined based on results from field tests.

•Revised aerodynamic tuning for both drag and lift forces

•Revised some vehicles setups and presets to improve handling or to make it more adequate to latest tires changes.

AUDIO

•Impreza Engine/Exhaust implemented. The sound will improve further in the future – our audio designer is an Impreza owner and wants to make it perfect!

•306 Maxi Engine/Exhaust implemented.

•Skoda exhaust after-fire implemented.

•Rally2 turbo added to Skoda

•Improved gravel skid feedback.

•Improved 3rd person spatialization for replays especially approaching from a distance.

•Improved 3rd person spatialization for forced induction.

•Improved 3rd person spatialization for rear engine vehicles.

•Fix for turbo BOV sounds cutting off too early based on the drop in turbo pressure.

•Fix for too much “hill” reverberation coming through the cabin view.

•Fix for various sounds cutting out randomly.

GAMEPLAY AND UI

•Updated pacenotes for Monte Carlo Bollene

•Updated pacenotes for Monte Carlo Sisteron

•Fixed incorrect pacenote call on Wales Hafren North 3/6

•Fixed stop marshals at Monte-Carlo Bollene 7/8 and Monte-Carlo Sisteron 6/6 not guiding player to stop point

•Fixed some incorrect respawn collisions around crowd on Monte-Carlo Bollene walls

•Fix an issue resulting in the automatic tire allocation on rally weekends to give an odd number of total tires and single compounds.

•Fix an issue preventing the automatic tire allocation to give the correct number of multiple compounds tires. This allows for more tire choices during rally weekends, even while using the automatic selection.

•Added Apply button in Video options

•Fixed minor text and translations issues

ONLINE:

•Player session now correctly sets the client version

•Added the Partners functionality

•Leaderboards: added a dedicated endpoint for fetching leaderboards as Partner

•Leaderboards: store client version with the Leaderboard entries

•Leaderboards: FetchLeaderboard procedure now checks for the minimum allowed client version

•Leaderboards: removed the results collection from the Store operation, which was causing tons of false errors, ending up in a Time Upload Failure dialog

VFX, LIGHTING AND ART DIRECTION

•Added snow support for Alsace and Wales

•Added support for the snow on the offroad track materials

•Improved road and trajectory readability in snowy conditions on all tracks

•Improved the transition between clear and fully snowy ground

•Improved the transition between dry and melting snow

•Improved the consistency of the snow effect between different surfaces

•Improved the snow on asphalt particle effects

•Improved vehicles ambient occlusion

•Adjusted the red box at stage start and end of all stages for better visibility in daylight conditions

ENVIRONMENTS

•Improvements to rally/event dressing at Monte Carlo Sisteron

•Improvements to rally/event dressing at Alsace Munster

•Improvements to rally/event dressing at Alsace Saverne

•Improvements to rally/event dressing at Wales Hafren South

•Improvements to rally/event dressing at Wales Hafren North

•Added new parked vehicles

•Improved parked vehicles visuals by adding shadows under the chassis

•Fixed floating vegetation bugs across all stages

•Fixed minor bugs across all stages

About Assetto Corsa Rally

Assetto Corsa Rally delivers an uncompromising rally simulation that captures the raw intensity and precision of the sport. Developed by Supernova in technical partnership with Kunos Simulazioni, AC Rally was developed on the base of Assetto Corsa’s acclaimed physics engine, specifically refined for the needs of this motorsports discipline, and a customized build of Unreal Engine 5.

AC Rally introduces a rally-specific chapter to the Assetto Corsa franchise, designed to deliver a demanding and immersive experience where weather, road, and car setups all matter and dedicated driver training and skills are a key element to succeed in driving.

From the gravel stages of Wales to the tarmac stages of Alsace, AC Rally introduces 3D laser-scanned stages & meticulously modelled vehicles, professional co-driver support, and realistic dynamics for FWD, RWD, and AWD vehicles. Every second on the road is a high-stakes challenge, where surface grip, weather, and time of day constantly impact your every decision.

Launching into Early Access with an initial set of 10 licensed cars, 4 rally stages, from the real world of rallies, plus offline and online game modes, AC Rally invites players to master the precision of rally racing while shaping the future of the game with their feedback.

Jon Armstrong Collaboration

We're thrilled to announce our collaboration with Jon Armstrong, WRC Rally Driver at M-Sport. With his extensive sim racing, game development, and top-level rally experience, Jon helped us refine car physics and handling—focusing on tires, aerodynamics, and suspension. The result: smoother, more communicative behaviour that makes managing wheel lock-up, traction loss, and limit driving more natural and enjoyable.
