Race Sim Studio’s Latest Formula Cars: A Sim Racing Revolution for Assetto Corsa
Assetto Corsa may be over a decade old, but modding teams like Race Sim Studio (RSS) are keeping it fresh with cutting-edge content. Their latest release—a collection of Formula cars spanning from Formula 4 to a V12-powered futuristic beast—is nothing short of spectacular. In this review, we dive into each car and share what makes them stand out in the world of sim racing.
RSS has gone big with this release, introducing five incredible Formula cars. Here’s a breakdown of the lineup:
Each car offers a unique driving experience, showcasing RSS's meticulous attention to detail.
The journey starts with the Formula 4 car, a responsive and engaging machine that’s ideal for honing your racecraft. While my first lap wasn’t the fastest, it was clear this car was designed to reward precision. Its forgiving nature makes it a fantastic starting point for single-seater enthusiasts.
Next, the Formula 2 car cranks up the difficulty. This machine demands respect, offering a challenge that feels “Moorish” in the best way. It’s the kind of car that makes you want to keep lapping, constantly improving.
The Formula Hybrid is where things get serious. Its exhilarating pace and tight handling rival the best mods on the market, if not surpassing them. The feedback through the wheel is fantastic, making it a pure joy to drive.
Things get interesting with the Hybrid X 2026. It feels less planted than its 2024 counterpart but still manages to be faster in some situations. The reduced grip adds a layer of complexity, making it a fascinating drive.
Finally, we arrive at the pièce de résistance: the Hybrid X 2026 with a roaring V12 engine. This car is a sensory overload. The sound, the power, the raw emotion—it’s an experience every sim racer needs to try.
While the cars themselves are phenomenal, it’s worth noting that they rely on the latest version of the Custom Shaders Patch (CSP), which can sometimes cause stability issues. These occasional hiccups are a small price to pay for the incredible visual and auditory fidelity the mods bring.
One question kept coming to mind during testing: How are modding teams like RSS and VRC producing better Formula experiences than official games? From the detailed physics to the breathtaking audio and visuals, these mods make a strong case for Assetto Corsa’s enduring relevance in the sim racing world.
Race Sim Studio has once again set the bar for what’s possible in sim racing. Whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore Formula fan, their latest lineup offers something special for everyone. From the beginner-friendly RSS4 to the adrenaline-pumping Hybrid X 2026 V12, each car is a masterpiece of modding excellence.
If you love single-seaters, do yourself a favour and try these cars. Assetto Corsa’s modding community has outdone itself once again.
