Gear-up.me sells tons of gaming PCs and judging by the amount of driving kit we sell with our PCs a lot of our customers are serious about racing games.

One of the most long-waited games is Assetto Corsa Competizione. We had access to a preview of the game and took a look, this is what we thought.

A preview of Assetto Corsa Competizione

Assetto Corsa Competizione is set to be the official game of the Blancpain series and builds on a simulation experience that is already excellent. The release of the game should really shift things up a notch, making gameplay even more realistic than it was.

So, we’ve checked out some recent gameplay footage, released by the developers of the game. There’s some crazy driving on show in the footage but it really looks like the game will amp up the quality of simulation.

We think it’s especially the physics of the game that will become even more realistic. Think aquaplaning and the like. It all adds up to make a much more engaging gaming experience.

Getting a PC that can run the game

You really shouldn’t run a top-notch racing simulator like Assetto on basic hardware. We recommend opting for a beefy system with all the necessary racing additions, including pedals and a wheel.

Not sure what to buy? Don’t worry, our PC configurator is ready to help. In fact we have a configurator designed specifically for simulators. Check it out here.

If you need even more help just give us a call or drop us an e-mail, Gear-up.me is always happy to advise on PC builds to make sure you get the most out of your favourite games.
