The Assetto Corsa Competizione 1.8 update is tentatively scheduled to release in September for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The update arrived last November for PC featuring improvements to the physics, handling and tires.
The new model causes the tires to be more sensitive over the course of a race which can change a number of things with your possible driving style. Scrubbing the tires can lead to increased wear and loss of grip, this will reduce the longevity of the rubber and could result in a drop off in lap times. Scrubbing and sliding are not the only things that can further impact wear. Set up plays an even more important role and adjusting camber can greatly alter the grip of the outside, middle and inside of the tire.
It’s not a simple copy and paste from PC to the new consoles. Unique coding must be applied to every single car, every single corner which includes the curbs, the run off areas both in the wet and dry across every single track in ACC and tested to make sure it works correctly. The team also mentions any DLC updates will be released later into the year after 1.8 is available.
