Man Adds His Work Commute to Assetto Corsa in Hopes to Beat His Neighbor to the Street Parking Spot
September 19, 2023

"I was tired of playing a daily game of cat and mouse with my neighbor for that one sweet parking spot..."

CHICAGO—In the world of limited street parking, where every inch of curb space is a precious commodity, one man has taken an unconventional approach to secure his prized parking spot. Fed up with the daily rivalry over a coveted parking space outside his apartment building, John Anderson, a resident of downtown Chicago, decided to bring his work commute into the virtual realm of Assetto Corsa, hoping to gain an edge over his neighbor.


John's motivation for this creative endeavor was clear: "I was tired of playing a daily game of cat and mouse with my neighbor for that one sweet parking spot right in front of our building. It was getting frustrating, and I needed a unique solution."


In his quest for parking supremacy, John meticulously mapped out his daily work commute using GPS data and recreated it in the popular racing sim Assetto Corsa. He meticulously fine-tuned the route, ensuring it matched the exact distance and time of his real-life journey.


However, John's neighbor, Sarah Mitchell, isn't too pleased with his innovative strategy. She remarked, "It's an amusing idea, but I won't give up that parking spot without a fight. I'm not letting a virtual commute get the best of me."


As John continues to refine his virtual commute in Assetto Corsa, the competition for that prized parking spot remains fierce. Only time will tell if his creative approach will give him the upper hand in the ongoing battle for parking supremacy in the heart of the city.
