While there are a million sim racing-centric comparison videos out there, this one is special. Kunos Simulazioni’s physics integrator, Aristotelis Vasilakos, took to the real-world track to compare Assetto Corsa’s virtual Alfa Romeo 4C to its real-world counterpart.

What makes this video “special” isn’t that it’s a Kunos staff member, but how closely the steering inputs match up. Most comparison videos show the real world driver smoothly maneuvering corners like he’s doing his daily commute to work, while the virtual driver is swatting bees.
This video does not display this. It displays nearly identical smooth driving and bee swatting. Every time the real world car begins to break traction, so does the digital version. It’s not only simultaneous but in a very similar manner.
Clearly something is going right with Assetto Corsa’s physics. Color me impressed. I hope we see more of these in the future.
And nice driving Aristotelis!
