When it comes to sim racing with Assetto Corsa Competizione or RaceRoom, the question arises: which one comes out on top?
This article will be a comparison of the two games that we hope will help you pick one over the other. Aspects such as graphics, gameplay, and many more will be discussed in order to make a valid choice.
Before comparing the two games, it is worth taking a look at them one by one in the first place.

Assetto Corsa Competizione
The company Kunos Simulazioni has put out another game with its September 2018 release date being Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Nostalgically speaking, it’s a GT3 variation of its predecessor Assetto Corsa which hit the market back in December 2014.
The game is based on Unreal Engine 4 which is visually appealing while also offering impressive sound design.
I’m probably biased when it comes down to this game as I remember playing Assetto Corsa Competizione during my teenage years and it’s only improved with recent updates.
Raceroom Racing Experience
The game is relatively older with a release date back in December 2013 but it is gaining traction over the years.
Raceroom Racing Experience is based on the ISImotor which is quite good though probably not as sophistical as the ACC Unreal Engine.
There’s a vibrant online community built around this game. New content helps in growing this community on forums and Discord wether it is the players or the creators.
So having talked a little about the games, let us move on to the comparison.
Cars and tracks selection
If there’s one thing that isus to be really at odds with, it’d be the lack of available tracks that are on the lower end of the scale that includes a huge amount of GT focused titles.
The game has a wide range of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens and lots more.
In terms of auto scoring, several historic sites are fun to look at. There’s the Nürburgring, Spa Francorchamp, Bathurst, and Monza which are all sparkling.
Up and till now it seems that Red Bull Racing firm’s main activity is creating impressive images. At such a high level, the quality of the tracks in the ACC is indeed high, the limitation does seem disappointing Around sixteen tracks and thirteen GT3 cars have been added for this title; f or the pack there are twenty-four GT4.
In truth, Raceroom has built up quite the catalog with about one hundred cars and forty unique racetracks to pick from.
The competition has now escalated, bringing with it more options and an edge over Gamemill in making the game.
You might argue the place of quality however that is an usually very good thing ‘having heaps of content’.
With tons of things showcasing in Raceroom it is pretty hard to get bored.
Graphics and sound quality
Assetto Corsa Competizione surpasses all players in improved graphics as expected.
The visuals are really nice, thanks to the Unreal Engine 4, and the audio part is also of excellent quality.Raceroom does work quite well too, however it cannot be compared against the level of quality of ACC.I have to state out that probably the only title that can stand against the ACC graphics guns blazi… i mean, competing with ACC graphics is iRacing.
You do want the graphics to stand out though, especially during the rainy season or when racing at night time as it plays a major role in the gt3 races.
Driving realism and physics
Okay so as you can imagine this is a really tough one to compare in more over different situations or aspects. Both of the games have amazing driving realism but I guess it’s best suited for you to narrow one down at best.
I have some friends who say they are allied with Raceroom physics but some would best love Assetto Corsa Competizoni physics.
Is Assetto Corsa more realistic than RaceRoom?
Yes, from what I see, yes, I think ACC is more realistic to drive compared to Raceroom. You can feel the grip during braking and then when you are rotating the car at the apex, it indeed feels real. That is not to say that Raceroom physics are bad, they are simply of a different nature.
I have a bias to ACC because it makes me feel as if I am behind the wheel of a gt3 car. However I know that not everyone will agree on this issue with me.
In my opinion, this one’s actually rather subjective so do not take my word for it and if you get a chance, try playing both of the games!
Price
- ACC on the other hand costs $39.99 on Steam and offers a lot more content that can be purchased separately which comes at another $57 in extra cost. So if you made a single purchase, it would cost about $97 in total for ACC.
- Raceroom: actually the game is free to download from Steam and free to play though you’d have to pay for all the additional content. In fact if you plan on purchasing all the extra content and DLC packs it will cost you a whopping $109.93 (But only at 65$ if you buy it directly from the RaceRoom official website with 10,000 VRP off)
So in terms of pricing, it’s difficult to compare and judge which one is better.
Which is better Raceroom or Assetto Corsa Competizione?
In my opinion, Raceroom has performed badly both in terms of cars selection and driving feedback but in terms of driving realism, I think Assetto Corsa Competizione is much better.
Of course, Graphically, ACC is slightly ahead of the competition thus assuring an excellent level of immersion.
The great advantage of Raceroom though is the huge selection of content with 40 tracks and over 100 cars from all sorts of racing series.
What do you think? Would appreciate a response on that!
I trust this article was of help, and that you are now better placed to understand the two games. I look forward to seeing you next week, have a great day!
