Yes, Moza Pit House presets work for Assetto Corsa, but only as half of the setup. A Pit House preset stores the wheelbase side: torque, damping, friction, inertia, road sensitivity and rotation. The Assetto Corsa side, such as gain, filter and effects, lives in the game or in Content Manager. A downloaded preset therefore only feels right when your in game settings match what the preset maker used.
That explains why one preset feels great for a friend and odd for you. In this guide you learn what a preset contains, how to import one safely, and how to build your own Assetto Corsa preset that stays reliable.
What a Pit House preset actually stores
A preset is simply a saved set of wheelbase values, nothing more.
The wheelbase side
In Pit House, a preset saves the values you see on the base screen. Think of max output torque, game FFB intensity, steering angle, damping, friction, inertia, road sensitivity and the force feedback equalizer. Load a preset and all of these change at once. It works like a snapshot of your base.
What it does not store
A Pit House preset does not touch Assetto Corsa itself. The game keeps its own gain, filter, minimum force and effect sliders. Your bindings, steering lock and per car tweaks also stay in the game files. So when someone shares "the perfect R9 preset", you only get half of their setup.
Where to find presets for Assetto Corsa
Presets come from three places, and each has its own value.
Moza recommendations
Moza publishes recommended settings for Assetto Corsa per wheelbase class. These make a safe, conservative start. They aim at a wide group of drivers, so they rarely feel perfect for your rim and rig.
Community presets
Forums, Discord servers and video creators share preset files. Many people search for an "R5 Assetto Corsa preset download" for this reason. These presets often aim at one style, such as drifting or GT racing. Check which base, rim and in game gain the creator used before you import.
Your own preset
The best preset is the one you build yourself from a clean baseline. Our Moza R12 Assetto Corsa settings guide gives a solid starting point for every Moza base, from the R5 to the R25.

How to import a preset safely
A few simple checks stop a bad preset from ruining your evening.
Save your current setup first
Before you import anything, save your current Pit House values as a preset with a clear name, such as "AC backup". Then import the new file through the preset menu. If the new preset feels wrong, you switch back in seconds.
Check torque and rotation straight away
After loading, look at max output torque and steering angle first. Some presets lower torque to 70 percent, which makes the wheel feel weak in Assetto Corsa. Others set rotation to 540 degrees for formula cars, which feels odd in a road car. If your wheel suddenly feels light, our guide on why a Moza wheel feels weak in Assetto Corsa walks you through every cause.
Match the game side
Ask for, or guess, the in game values the preset creator used. A preset built for 50 percent in game gain feels violent at 80 percent. Content Manager lets you save the game side as its own preset, so pair both with the same name. Read how in our guide to setting up a Moza wheel in Content Manager.
How to build your own Assetto Corsa preset
Building your own preset takes about twenty minutes and pays off for years.
Start clean, change one thing at a time
Begin with max torque at 100 percent, wheel spring at 0 and steering angle at 900 degrees. Set the in game gain to around 65 percent. Then drive one reference car on one track. Change only one value per run: first gain, then damping, then road sensitivity. Write each change down. In short, you build a preset you fully understand.
Make a small family of presets
One preset rarely fits every car. Most drivers end up with three: GT and prototypes, road cars, and drift. The road car preset often uses a bit more damping, while the drift preset needs fast wheel speed and low friction. Name them clearly and keep them in sync with matching Content Manager presets. This is also how we work with Pit House baselines for iRacing.

Why the same preset feels different on another rig
Hardware changes what a preset feels like, even with identical numbers.
Rim weight and mounting
A heavy 300 mm rim adds inertia, so a preset made with a light formula wheel feels slower on your setup. Mounting matters just as much. A base on a flexing desk or a thin wheel deck loses detail, so the creator's preset feels numb on your rig.
A stiff frame keeps presets honest
SIMGASM is a Dutch company that develops its own hardware, and Johan Akkerman, CEO of SIMGASM, designs every frame himself. He has tested a wide range of cockpits, wheelbases and pedals over more than 15 years in sim racing, including work on the Trak Racer TRX chassis. The Sport cockpit uses a 40 x 120 mm main profile, a rated braking load of 300 kg at the pedal deck and integrated cable passthroughs. As a result, a preset feels the same today as next month. Compare all sim racing cockpits to find your match.

Questions about Moza presets in Assetto Corsa
Quick answers to the most common preset questions.
Do Pit House presets include pedal settings?
Moza pedals connected to Pit House have their own curves and calibration. Save them together with your base settings, so everything loads in one go.
Does Assetto Corsa Competizione use the same preset?
No. ACC sends a different signal level, so give it its own Pit House preset.
Can I share my preset with a friend?
Yes. Export the preset file from Pit House and send it. Share your in game values too, otherwise it only tells half the story.
Why does a preset feel different after a firmware update?
Updates sometimes add or rename settings. Reload your preset and check torque, damping and rotation again.
