Assetto Corsa Mods

This is too big not to write a few words about. Or better said, I _hope_ it is as big as it sounds . From the get go, I should say that I'm surprised to find out that AC/ACC are actually using a single point contact for physics calculations.

Any owner knows that a good QR is not something to ignore, because any play into the mechanism will add unwanted noise in the FFB. Now, there are of course good QR out there but there's only one problem: the price ! They cost basically almost as much as an entry level FFB wheel. Hopefully, Simucube team...
