Furthermore, Kunos Simulazioni also pointed out that the mid-session Save functionality has been de-activated, but will return when the next hotfix is deployed later this week. The upcoming update will also introduce a brand new Controls Options page, together with a Load Saved Game page that will allow to Save and Load multiple sessions.

Assetto Corsa Competizione V1.0.2 is now available on Steam for a Promotional launch price of €40,49. (The offer ends on the 5th of June)
