I just purchased a steering wheel and am looking for some racing games. I own Eurotruck Sim 2 and American Truck Sim, but I’m after a racing simulation. Which ones are the top choices?

I enjoy Project CARS, Dirt 3, and iRacing. I also like Assetto Corza and Forza Horizon.

Project Cars is considered a solid title, though its realism might not appeal to everyone. For alternatives, consider Trackmania (especially Stadium on TM2) or DiRT Rally.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Americna Truck Simulator are incredibly enjoyable. Here are some recommendations: - Forza Horizon 3 - Project Cars (it’s realistic and fun) - Dirt 4 - Dirt Rally - Asseto Corsa - Forza Motorsport 6 – not a racing game, but my top driving choice - City Car Driving

Here are a few alternative ways to phrase that:

- Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider your ideas.
- Appreciate the responses; I'll review your recommendations.
- Glad you all responded—I'll think about what you suggested.

I can confidently recommend Dirt Rally and rFactor 2. I found Project Cars to be overly simplistic, almost too smooth, and not very true to real driving conditions. In reality, most vehicles maintain grip better on actual roads, which makes the experience less engaging. This isn't about the AI—Cars can be quite harsh if you brake too early (the airborne issues are fixed now), but overall it delivers a solid racing simulation. It feels authentic and challenging, especially compared to other titles.

If you play online, you might face a tough community, but it’s manageable with patience. The graphics are decent, and the game offers a deep level of detail. The physics are impressive, particularly in handling different surfaces, making it one of the most realistic racing experiences available. It's very addictive when chasing perfection in lap times.

For fun, Dirt Rally excels, though rallycross AI can be frustrating. The game demands skill and persistence, rewarding those who invest time. Graphics are average but functional. The community is generally supportive, though smaller than some rivals. You can find useful content from other players.

R factor AI performs well, especially in simulating tire behavior with realistic lockups and flat spots. It’s a standout feature for a racing simulator. However, the visuals could be better, and the online scene is limited.

Forza 6: Apex for PC offers a good mix of realism and fun physics, though it can feel repetitive. It's free and accessible, making it a solid choice. RaceRoom is a free-to-play sandbox with optional purchases; it’s okay and worth trying. iRacing and Asseto are still under the radar, but some positive feedback exists.

Overall, Dirt Rally and rFactor 2 stand out for their depth and authenticity, while online play requires patience and resilience.
