Darin sat down with Will Ford for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had in a LONG time.

Part 2 of our Assetto Corsa Rally testing is now up!

In this one, I go over the early hotfix news, talk through the hardware issues a bunch of you mentioned, adjust the wheel and pedal settings, and then push for gold runs in three different conditions.

If you’re trying ACR right now, let us know how it feels on your setup.
The feedback on the first video was huge so we're curious to see what’s changed for you after more time in the sim.
