Assetto Corsa Competizione 1.0.2

Assetto Corsa Competizione keeps updating its environment to solve the many problems that 1.0 version has brought us. We found that some ugly issues dragging from very early development stages have been finally solved. We will see if this pace is maintained and if the title can overcome after an average disappointment feeling.
