505 Games and KUNOS Simulazioni have released Update 0.7 for Assetto Corsa EVO, one of the more significant updates to the Early Access racing simulator since its January 2025 launch. The update adds four new cars, a new particle system, a revamped safety rating, and the first release of the game’s SDK editor tool.
The SDK is arguably the headline addition. Designed for experienced and technically-minded members of the community, the Assetto Corsa EVO SDK app allows players to create custom vehicles for use in single-player racing, using the same production pipeline as the development team at KUNOS Simulazioni. This first release focuses on car model creation, with custom liveries, tracks, and multiplayer support for user-created content all planned for future updates. It’s an early but meaningful step toward making Assetto Corsa EVO a more open and expandable platform long-term.
Four new cars join the roster with the update: the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, the Datsun 240Z in two variants, the Porsche 935, and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport Evo Kit. The selection spans decades and disciplines, from one of the most culturally significant Japanese coupés ever made to two generations of Porsche’s customer racing program.
Update 0.7 also overhauls how safety is measured in competitive play. The new EVO SR system, added to the web companion Daily Racing Portal, moves away from the standard approach of simply rewarding drivers for avoiding contact. Instead, it actively rewards close, clean racing, meaning drivers who battle wheel-to-wheel benefit just as much as those who keep their distance. Contact severity is read directly from in-game impact data, so minor brushes are absorbed while heavy collisions carry meaningful penalties.
On the visual side, a new particle system adds physically responsive tire smoke, dirt and dust kicks up when leaving the racing surface, water spray builds correctly in wet conditions, and collisions now trigger dedicated impact effects that add genuine weight to accidents.
Assetto Corsa EVO is available now on Steam Early Access, priced at $39.99. A Steam bundle including Assetto Corsa EVO and Assetto Corsa Rally is also available with an additional 10% discount.
