Assetto Corsa Mods

Less than 24h left and we'll all get to see Assetto Corsa Competizione being "freed" into the wild, as a stand-alone 1.0 title. Support will not stop after that, but tomorrow is a very important day for Kunos, since it will mark another milestone in the small(still ?) studio's life.
