Following the November 2025 Early Access release of Assetto Corsa Rally, developer Supernova Games Studios has continued its ongoing support for the title with the release of patch 0.3. The update brings with it quite a bit of new content, headlined by the Monte-Carlo stages. Described as the “last major step in the Assetto Corsa Rally Early Access program,” the update was released alongside a new trailer, which you can check out below.
The addition of the Monte-Carlo stages is a big deal, since the whole course was fully laser-scanned to ensure “uncompromising precision” across various aspects, including road geometry and the technical challenge that made the area famous in the sport. The in-game version will also tap into the real-world equivalent’s unpredictable weather, with snow, ice and dry asphalt all being represented. The whole location will be available in the form of two stages: the 18 km-long La Bollène-Vésubie, Col de Turini, and the 13 km-long Sisteron.
La Bollène-Vésubie, Col de Turini has been described as featuring “relentless” elevation changes, along with narrow passages and plenty of hairpin and off-camber corners. The stage is slated to challenge players’ mechanical prowess over Assetto Corsa Rally, especially when it comes to their throttle control and precision. Sisteron, on the other hand, features wide, smooth roads and long, open corners. The stage places an emphasis on high speed direction changes, paired with critical braking zones that have limited visibility.
Along with the stage itself, Assetto Corsa Rally now also has two iconic rally cars added to its roster—the FWD Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.6 HF Gr. 4, and the 4WD ŠKODA Fabia RS Rally2. The former is capable of 115-130+ horsepower thanks to its narrow-angle 1.6L V4 engine, and is known for winning the 1972 International Rally Championship and the Monte-Carly Rally. The latter is a modern Rally2-specced car with a 1.6L turbo engine capable of 289 horsepower, and is known for winning its debut competition at the 2022 Lausitz Rally.
As you might expect from an update featuring the Monte Carly stages, Assetto Corsa Rally now also has a dynamic snowy weather condition. The studio has described the possibility of a race starting out dry, that eventually gets snow involved as the player rises in altitude over the course of a stage. It is also worth noting that, rather than being limited to fixed areas, snowfall can happen anywhere on the Monte Carlo stages as long as the atmospheric conditions are met. This means that the temperatures have to fall below 0 degrees celsius, and it has to start raining.
Snow can have adverse effects on gameplay, especially in the form of decreased tarmac grip. These adverse effects can be minimized thanks to the addition of new winter and Snow tyre compounds, giving players more freedom in mixing and matching their tyres.
Bringing it all together, the update introduces 40 new AC Rally events to the game, along with bringing in a host of improvements and fixes across the board. For more comprehensive details, check out the full patch notes below.
Assetto Corsa Rally is currently available on PC.
