A fan-made graphics mod has sim racers convinced that a decade-old PC game now looks sharper than the real thing.
Assetto Corsa has no official DLSS 5 support from Nvidia or from Kunos, the studio that built it, so what's circulating is the work of community modders.
Kunos developed Assetto Corsa as a PC racing simulator in 2014, maintaining its player base through extensive community modifications, particularly the widely used Custom Shaders Patch.
So this is a community mod, not actually Nvidia's technology bolted onto Kunos's game, and it comes with the usual caveats.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement, though it doesn't seem to be affecting how impressed people are by these graphics.

Anyone who has spent a weekend shaving tenths off a lap in iRacing or an F1 game knows the loneliest part of sim racing is not knowing why you're slow.
A Collaboration Agreement has been established between the FIA and Track Titan, a UK-headquartered AI coaching service designed to support sim racing and esports competitors in their training.
Under the deal, Track Titan becomes an official "Driver Coaching Platform, in Collaboration with the FIA".
Track Titan brings valuable expertise in data-driven driver coaching, and this collaboration gives us an opportunity to make personalised performance insights more accessible through our ASN network.
Both organisations intend to investigate opportunities for expanding Track Titan's coaching throughout the wider FIA membership base while deepening connections among sim racing, esports, and traditional motorsport disciplines.

This sim racing cockpit provided good value, solid build quality, and upgrade flexibility, making it a top pick for aluminum profile sim rigs.
With varying budgets and use cases in mind, Trak Racer offers a wide range of aluminum profile cockpits, so if the TR120S V2 is a little more than you need, the Trak Racer TR80S V6 is one alternative.
Your question Building the Trak Racer TR80S V6 Cockpit Time to get into the actual build now, and as the name suggests, the TR80S V6 is made from 40mm x 80mm profile sections, along with some 40mm x 40mm in certain areas.
Trak Racer includes rubber feet with the TR80S V6, so I added these to the rear frame as described in the manual.
All in all, the Trak Racer TR80S V6 is a highly competent chassis that pretty much perfects the middle ground between novice and high-end sim racing cockpit.

I’ve spent a lot of time covering NASCAR games, and I know there’s an audience for this stuff.
Everybody was saying NASCAR words, real NASCAR drivers kept appearing on my screen.
These are people who’ve built entire audiences around NASCAR games and racing games.
We have a real NASCAR championship, an official video game series, an established sim racing community, and an entire NASCAR gaming YouTube ecosystem.
If I already love playing NASCAR games, what am I getting from an eNASCAR broadcast that rarely shows me how the game is actually played?

“The main reason you get into sim racing is because you love the sport.
Comparing my experience and abilities in sim racing versus Josh’s when we started virtual racing together, he was at a completely different level.
The biggest leap is, unsurprisingly, the one from virtual racing to real-life racing.
“Sim racing can be more stressful” For all the potential risk in real-life racing, both drivers say they experience more pressure in sim racing.
“If you win a race at night in sim racing, you feel the euphoria – but then you say goodbye, and that’s it.

And if you have an absolute, single-minded dedication to being the fastest, you can apply it to sim or real racing.
The biggest leap is, unsurprisingly, the one from virtual racing to real-life racing.
“Sim racing can be more stressful” For all the potential risk in real-life racing, both drivers say they experience more pressure in sim racing.
Even though I was at a reasonable level doing it, it always put me under so much more pressure.
And then, if you get to the end and you win, it's the same kind of peak of euphoria.”
