I finally broke down and joined iracing after 4 years on other Sims. Just did the 24hr of Daytona and that was really freaking cool. Plus joined two "leagues". I wish I hadn't taken so long to join. The costs add up quickly, though.... still cheaper than a real track day. Answer from cjccww on reddit.com

Best racing games on PC | PC Gamer
April 1, 2025 - Since its release in 2017, other games have surpassed Slightly Mad Studios’ racing sim for visual glossiness. Newer titles have found a more convincing handling model, and offer a wider range of vehicles and cars. But where none of these whippersnappers can beat PC2 is in sheer sandbox appeal. It sounds like a minor detail, but the level of detail its race creator goes into is peerless.

r/simracing on Reddit: What Racing simulator should I buy in steam?
October 14, 2024 -

I've recently built my first Gaming PC, hence don't have a ton of money to spend in games. So, for the moment I can buy just one. I'm between AC, ACC and iRacing. I'm also interested in the Forza Horizon games, but I'm trying to lean more towards racing sims. Also, a little bit more context about me and my rig. My rig: CPU: Ryzen 5 4500 (I know I messed up with the CPU since I could 've just gone with the 5600x which is not much more expensive and performs better). GPU: RX 5600XT (I think this is a decent one for gaming when pushed close to 100%). RAM: 1x16gb 3200hz (Open to upgrade to 16gb in near future). Wheel and pedals: G25

Before building my PC I used to play Gran Turismo 6 in my PS3, so I love the variety of cars in GT games but I found out I like the "pro races" better, like GT3, LMP1, Formula 1, etc.

Assetto Corsa is a full game with a wide variety of cars and a massive modding scene with endless free content. ACC is a smaller, more focused, more dedicated game based on GT racing with no modding compatibility. iRacing is an online focused game with high quality matchmaking infrastucture that no other game provides, but iRacing comes with a monthly subscription and a one-time fee for every single car/track that isn't available in the base game. Forza Horizon are not racing sims really, but still an absolute blast to play. If you're dipping your toes into sim-racing I would get Assetto Corsa first.

Download Raceroom. It's the only correct answer, here's why: base game is free with no subscription and you get an extremely good taste of what sim-racing is like. You get a little of everything, LMP, TCR, formula-ford, silhouette racing, etc. And a few tracks. After raceroom, you decide where you want to spend your money. Be it buying cars and tracks for raceroom, AC for the modding scene, online racing and overall an open-sim-racing game for almost everything, ACC or LMU for more series focused racing (although it's debatable, LMU generally is recognised for great ffb feeling and physics wise), iracing if you have endless pockets and are okay with spending money every month but have a great online scene, AMS 1/2 to have fun or rf2 just to suffer with great content and league racing. Or just say fuck it and get the old school GTR2. I did back in the day, totally worth it still today.
