The Release Candidate incarnation of Assetto Corsa is now available for players to access.
First revealed last week, the Release Candidate marks the end of the title's core development: as of now, developer Kunos Simulazioni sees the PC racing sim as being "feature complete".
It's been suggested that owners of the Steam Early Access release of Assetto Corsa should backup their "Documents/Assetto Corsa" folder before updating to the Release Candidate build. Steam should also be restarted upon installing the almost-retail-ready Assetto Corsa.
