  • Primary Subject: Assetto Corsa Rally - Update 0.3
  • Key Update: The full changelog for the update has been revealed.
  • Status: Confirmed
  • Last Verified: February 23, 2026
  • Quick Answer: Launching late February 2026, Update 0.3 introduces the legendary Monte Carlo rally with dynamic surface physics and adds the Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo and Lancia Fulvia.

It has been a month since we learned the first major detail for the Assetto Corsa Rally 0.3 update. The same day the 2026 Rallye Monte-Carlo kicked off, Supernova Games Studios confirmed Monte Carlo will be heading to the racer. 

The stage is a staple for rally titles, but the exciting bit with Assetto Corsa Rally is the opportunity to take on these tricky tracks with changing surfaces.

Dynamic weather will be introduced with the update that'll see the course go from slippery conditions in higher altitudes to drier tarmac as you approach lower elevations.

There will be more to the update than a Monte Carlo, of course. After a long wait, we now know the full patch notes for Update 0.3 of Assetto Corsa Rally.
