The 2020 Porsche 911 RSR in @assetto_corsa – proof that a 7-year-old sim can still feel alive. 🏁🔥
Mod: URD LoRX Evo 2
Track: Circuit de la Sarthe (no chicanes run)Nothing beats the sound of that flat-six screaming past the Porsche Curves. Who else is still hotlapping this beast? 👇
(Pair with a 15-second clip of an onboard lap or a clean external replay shot.)
Because the engine is mid-rear mounted, the car has a polar moment of inertia that makes it rotate very quickly.
The extended rear lip and large rear wing provide massive downforce. In high-speed sweepers (like the first sector at Spa-Francorchamps or the Parabolica at Monza), the car feels glued to the track. However, this downforce can mask setup issues; if the car pushes (understeers) at low speeds, drivers often mistakenly blame the aero, when it is usually mechanical grip or differential settings.
The RSR lacks ABS in GTE spec (though some versions have it for amateur driving). Locking the front left at T1 Monza is a rite of passage.
The engine is a masterpiece. It revs high and delivers power linearly. Unlike turbo-charged competitors (like the BMW M8 GTE), there is no sudden spike in torque. This allows you to get on the throttle earlier in corner exits without worrying about the rear stepping out unpredictably.
The default setup is safe, but to be competitive, you need to tweak the car. Here are the "golden rules" for setting up the RSR 2020:
Title: 🏁 The Ultimate Weapon: Porsche 911 RSR 2020 in Assetto Corsa 🏁
Body:
Is there a better sound in motorsport than a flat-six screaming at 9,000 RPM? 🎶
The Porsche 911 RSR (2020) remains one of the most iconic and rewarding cars to drive in Assetto Corsa. Whether you are tackling a endurance league or just hotlapping on a Sunday afternoon, this car offers an experience unlike anything else on the grid.
Why it’s a Must-Drive:
🔹 The Engine Swap: Unlike its predecessors, the 2020 RSR moved the engine to a mid-mount position. In the sim, this translates to handling that is sharper and more stable than ever, yet it still retains that classic 911 character. 🔹 Raw Feedback: The physics in AC do this car justice. You can feel every bump through the FFB. It demands precision—if you treat the throttle with respect, it rewards you with incredible corner exits. Get greedy, and the rear will let you know immediately. 🔹 The Sound: If you aren't running audio at max volume, you're missing out. The downshifts and the high-pitched howl as you climb the rev range are pure music.
[PC Users] 🖥️ This car is part of the Porsche Pack III (official DLC). It is arguably some of the best money you can spend on the sim. The interior detail and sounds are Kunos at their absolute best.
[Console/Mod Users] 🛠️ While official DLC is the gold standard, the modding community has kept the 911 spirit alive across various platforms. If you are looking for the most authentic experience, ensure you are running the official version to get the correct aero physics and tire model.

### The Evolution of Excellence: The Porsche 911 RSR 2020 in Assetto Corsa
The Porsche 911 RSR 2020 stands as a pinnacle of endurance racing, representing the final, most refined iteration of the mid-engine 991 platform. In the world of Assetto Corsa, this vehicle is primarily available through high-fidelity community mods, as the official Kunos Porsche DLCs focus on the earlier 2017 model. These community-driven projects, such as those from United Racing Design (URD) and Assetto Corsa Friends (ACF), have brought this modern GTE icon to life with startling accuracy. Technical Foundation and Performance
The heart of the 2020 RSR is a 4.2-liter naturally aspirated flat-six boxer engine—the largest ever mounted in a 911. In the simulation, this translates to a formidable power output of roughly 500–515 brake horsepower and 450–495 Nm of torque.
Weight & Chassis: The car maintains a lightweight profile of approximately 1,240–1,270 kg, featuring an aluminum chassis and carbon fiber reinforced plastic body panels.
Aerodynamics: It utilizes a sophisticated aero package including a massive adjustable rear wing and front splitter, providing the "god-like" rear grip characteristic of the mid-engine layout.
Drivetrain: Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox, which players can fine-tune with adjustable gear ratios for specific tracks. Visual and Auditory Immersion
The 2020 model is visually distinguished from its 2017 predecessor by a revised front grille and, most notably, its exhaust configuration. While the 2017 model featured side-exit exhausts, the 2020 "public" version often depicts the rear-exit system used during that specific season.
Visual Details: High-quality mods include functional LM GTE light strips, glowing brake discs under heavy load, and exhaust flames during downshifts.
Soundscape: The car is renowned for being one of the loudest in the GTE class. Simulator fans often use dedicated sound mods to capture the raw, high-pitched mechanical wail and transmission whine that the standard game engine might lack. Sounds Porsche 911 RSR-19 (side exhaust) 1.7 - OverTake.gg

The Porsche 911 RSR-19 (often referred to as the 2020 or 2021 model in the modding community) represents a pinnacle of GT endurance racing in Assetto Corsa
. While the 2017 RSR is included in the official Porsche Pack Volume 3 DLC, the 2020/2021 RSR-19 is a popular high-fidelity mod—notably developed by United Racing Design (URD) or available on platforms like Assetto World. Technical Prowess: The Heart of the RSR-19
The 2020 RSR in Assetto Corsa is defined by its mid-rear mounted 4.2-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, the largest boxer engine ever placed in a factory 911.
Performance Metrics: It produces approximately 515 to 550 bhp and roughly 450–495 Nm of torque, depending on the specific mod version.
Aero and Weight: Weighing just 1,240–1,245 kg, the car utilizes carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels and a sophisticated rear wing for high downforce.
Exhaust Relocation: Unlike the 2017 version’s rear-exit exhaust, the RSR-19 features side-exiting pipes, allowing for a larger, more efficient rear diffuser that enhances overall stability. Driving Dynamics in Simulation
Piloting the RSR-19 in Assetto Corsa requires a distinct approach compared to typical GT3 cars. Because it is a GTE/GTLM class vehicle, it lacks the driver aids found in GT3 (like ABS in many regulations), demanding more finesse.
Handling Profile: Players often report a slight tendency toward oversteer, which can be managed by adjusting rear spring rates or downforce.
Technique: Effective driving involves "steering with your feet"—using trail braking and careful throttle application to shift weight and rotate the car, rather than relying solely on steering input.
Audio Experience: The mod is widely praised for its "intense and loud" sound profile, capturing the raw growl of the flat-six at wide-open throttle.
The Porsche 911 RSR 2020 in Assetto Corsa is a standout addition for endurance racing fans, widely regarded for its precision and visceral audio experience. While the official game content includes the 2017 RSR through the Porsche Pack DLC, the 2020 version is primarily available through high-quality third-party mods.

The Porsche 911 RSR 2020 stands as one of the most iconic GTE-class racing machines in modern motorsport history. While the base game of Assetto Corsa (AC) officially includes the 2017 mid-engine RSR through its Porsche Pack III DLC, the specific 2020 and 2021 evolutions are primarily available through high-fidelity community mods. Overview of the 911 RSR 2020
The 2020/2021 model is the direct successor to the 2017 RSR, which famously broke tradition by moving its engine in front of the rear axle. The 2020 "RSR-19" variant refined this formula with a larger 4.2-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine—the largest boxer ever fitted to a 911—and significant aerodynamic updates.
Official DLC: The official Assetto Corsa - Porsche Pack III provides the 2017 RSR.
Community Mods: For the 2020/2021 specific specs, the most prominent version is the Darche EGT 2020/2021 (often referred to as the 911 RSR 2020 mod) created by United Racing Design (URD). Key Technical Specifications
The 2020 iteration brought several mechanical and visual shifts from the 2017/2018 model: Specification Engine 4.2L Naturally Aspirated Flat-6 (M97/80) Power Output ~510 - 515 bhp (subject to Balance of Performance) Torque ~450 - 495 Nm Weight 1,240 kg - 1,270 kg Transmission 6-speed sequential semi-automatic paddle-shift Brakes 390 mm ventilated steel discs (Front), 355 mm (Rear)
The most noticeable visual change for the 2020 model is the exhaust placement, which was moved from the sides to the rear, exiting through the diffuser. Driving Experience in Assetto Corsa
In the simulation, the Porsche 911 RSR 2020 is celebrated for its balance and aggressive auditory profile.
Because of the mid-engine layout, over bumps (like the Porsche Curves at Le Mans, ironically), the car gets light. The rear will "skip" laterally. Do not lift off the throttle here. Lifting causes weight transfer; weight transfer causes spins. Trust the aero.
The 2020 RSR is planted but edgy. Kunos' tire model (extended by CSP - Custom Shaders Patch) makes this car a handful.
