How will the 2026 F1 regulations actually change the racing? We jumped into Assetto Corsa to test the new 2026 car physics, energy deployment strategies, and the controversial "No Deploy" button.In this episode, we break down the massive changes to the Power Unit, the difference between the new Overtake and Boost modes, and how tracks like Monaco and Spa will drive completely differently with reduced downforce and higher torque. We also analyze the new energy limits and what they mean for defending position.
