The higher refresh rate allows for cleaner, more granular feedback through the wheel, though it may require "unlearning" old muscle memory due to changes in how cars rotate and brake.

A new friction model changed how tires generate heat and grip. Tires now take longer to warm up but retain core heat better, making out-laps more challenging but providing more consistent long-stint performance. Assetto Corsa Competizione [v1.8.18]

The engine was upgraded from 333Hz to 400Hz, providing 20% more data points for tire and ground collision detection. This makes curb strikes and high-speed tire oscillations significantly more detailed. The higher refresh rate allows for cleaner, more
