KUNOS Simulazioni has released a new set of screenshots for its sim racing title, Assetto Corsa. In addition, the team revealed that a new version of its game is available on Steam, featuring AI events, BMW 1M Coupe Series and Lotus Evora GTE. Enjoy!

Good game. After it, GT5 looks pretty shity.
and GT5’s cars handle quite poorly in comparison too.
Debatable as this beta stage from AC really. GT6 is not a pure simulation but has a very good base with tons of flaws because of being a console game that needs to appeal to the masses.
If you want pure simulation go for rFactor 2 or Game Stock Car 2012/2013. AC is not the reference as of today. nKP is still better when it comes to actual driving and FFB. (of course my personal opinion)
I play iRacing sometimes. In that game simulation is better(I read that it is most realistic simulator today), than Assetto Corsa, but it too expensive and also for big nerds(because there is no siglplayer or possibility to drive with AI). From that point assetto corsa is better for me.
Sorry for my English.
Sorry but GT6 pictures made by myself says otherwise (I also made pictures in AC because I also have it and I´m not a fanboy of one or the other)…
No photoshop used, just the in-game photomode in replays which adds the anti-aliasing and missing post processing (first image what you see in the background is a 3D sandbox environment not a photo to fill the views of the track):

(I can give you my whole gallery from GT5/6, AC and pCARS if you want and compare yourself)
Though I have to admit that while racing in the game there are flaws as the “poor” HDR and anti-aliasing + low resolution textures in the environment because of the weak hardware from 2007.
Console game or not I have so much respect for this game and whoever loves games as a whole knows that a lot of racing games are trying to be like it or beat it (Kunos said this) when it comes to graphics. Lighting in GT5/6 is almost like the real deal…one of the bests in the market.
If they did this in a weak console wait to see what they´ll show in the PS4.
Also take a look at Forza 5 car modelling and trust me, not even pCARS (which I also have as Full member since October 2011) comes close to the level of detail that they put in them, cars are almost photorealistic…it makes pCARS and AC cars look like plastic toys.
Just in case pictures of mine from AC (hence at how shiny it looks but far from realistic because of the lighting compared to GT6 pictures):

Never edit any of my pictures I use the games as they are. Hate the photoshop bullshit that people loves to add to their pictures.
Sometimes is better to not be a “fanboy” of anything and enjoy all what you can get…I have my own preferences…pCARS looks good but sometimes is way too much (saturation and magazine shiny look al lover the place), AC has a great balance and its performance compared to pCARS add points to it, and GT6 is a great game that is trying to look as the real deal in a weak hardware with its poor engine sounds as its biggest flaws…but the driving is great and feels right…FFB needs to be more sensitive, but if I want to play a simulator I would choose rFactor 2 or Game Stock Car 2012/2013 any day…both not even close to graphics to any of these.
Funny isn´t it?
These aren’t in-game, are they? It looks like they put the model of the car into a real environment/ HDRI image.
First picture is at Silverstone and the others are from a “showroom location” which is a 360º real environment picture. The cars look as you see. (I have the game of course)
Photomod, that is photomod. Real gameplay, it is real gameplay. These are completely different things.
And I mean not only graphics, physics also.
