If you’ve never played Assetto Corsa, you really should because despite the fact that this game launched back in December 2014, it continues to be one of the best racing simulators ever.
And living proof is none other than the video you see here and which shows the cat and mouse play between a BMW M4 GT4 and a Mercedes-AMG GT4 on the Bathurst.
The one-minute video, which was published on reddit a few days ago by the AMG GT4 player, shows the BMW M4 GT4 being chased for nearly one minute before the Mercedes manages to pass on the inside.
It’s certainly a fascinating duel that looks way too real, especially given the onboard camera is used during a night race. And if it weren’t for the phone recording (because, yes, the footage is actually a phone recording of the game on a larger screen), many wouldn’t even know the race is actually a game.
The Mercedes-AMG GT4 itself is a beast, there’s no doubt about that, and while the skills of the gamer in the video helped him pass the BMW, the car’s specs also play a key role overall.
The real version of the AMG GT4, the one which was announced before the 2017 edition of the 24-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps, is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT R and uses an AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine that develops 510 horsepower and up to 600 Nm of torque.
It goes without saying that its performance is impressive, to say the least, as it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 4 seconds, while the maximum speed exceeds 250 km/h (155 mph).
Of course, it also features several racing optimizations, including a carbon driver safety cell that complies with the existing FIA regulations, upgraded electronics with a new torque control system, AMG Traction Control, a competition ABS system and a new fire extinguishing system specifically tailored for the GT4.
