**The Ultimate Sim Racing Experience: A Comprehensive Guide**

Considered more of a sim Kade and that doesn't mean it's not a really fun game for a lot of people regardless of their skill level and don't even try comparing Forza to Gran Turismo that's a taboo discussion on this show anyway the handling characteristics of a set of Corsa are highly praised their physics engine is made in-house so it's a huge accomplishment for their developers it also has spectacular visuals and engine noises that cannot be matched by most games. Their goal here was to create the most immersive racing experience possible and they nailed it well.

The career mode is a bit challenging to say the least, it does have a solid online experience with a decent browse feature and lag-free racing but you're gonna be running into the same online issues that Gran Turismo 5 and 6 were having with their online rooms like maniac drivers that won't leave you alone unless you completely smoke them on the track. Multi-car pileups will be common unless you find a solid group of guys and girls to play with.

If you want to true sim racing with plenty of add-ons in a massive racing community then our factor 2 is probably the best out there. It's game engine by I was specifically altered for R factor to have an open architecture with tools for modders this same engine also laid down the foundation for R factor Pro which is used by racing teams and car manufacturers like most of the current Formula One and NASCAR teams.

Our factor 2 is the product of these two games and is considered by some to be the best sim-racing game out there for serious players. This is the game that GT Academy uses to train its winners from Gran Turismo before they actually hit the track it has the most detailed and accurate tire models in sim racing including things like flat spotting and tire deformation although the tracks are not laser scan like P Cars 2 in a set of Corsa you get accurate racetracks with features like 24-hour weather cycles drying racing lines and rubber building.

Online is free and although extra cars and tracks will need to be purchased as an add-on RF2 is one of the largest endurance racing leagues in the online world plus you can race them whatever kind of league you want Formula One style cars NASCAR IndyCar historical custom literally anything you want. The game is constantly being approved and evolving so what's a must-have for any hardcore sim racer that wants to grow their skills in one platform.

Last but not least the most hardcore game out there is I Racing. This game is the real deal for competitive online racers that want a true sim racing experience of all the rules and tribulations of real-life competition. The game has come a long way since its introduction in 2008 within incredibly detailed laser scanned tracks and a serious community of online racers. A lot of pro drivers regularly train in online events and some of those events offer cash prizes to season champions.

Similar to GT Sport, drivers must earn licenses but those licenses are based on results and avoiding accidents but not really comparable because accidents are not taken lightly climbing the ranks takes a lot of patience and persistence because those accidents have consequences that can set you back weeks and even months of progress. You know just by this game you pay a subscription to play it like 100 bucks for two years but they offer discounts for beginners for one month and three-month tiers but you need a PC to play it just like our factor - and some people play on rigs costing well over a few grand I've heard of rigs going over 150 grand that's how serious it gets because of the realism.

Many seasoned veterans of I Racing have become successful in real life in fact professional organizations like NASCAR and Skip Barber Racing use this sim to help train their drivers. That being said, you can't just pop into AI racing and expect to enter a competitive race like you would and P Cars to a set of course or GT Sport you're going to need to do some research and watch plenty of how-to videos so you don't become overwhelmed when you first start playing.

You'll need to be motivated to learn and to practice it's clearly the final destination for anyone who has played any of the previous games and wants to take their skills and competition to the next level. So, what's your sim racing game of choice? I know there's a bunch of old ones out there that people still play so let us know in the comments how pissed are you that it didn't include Forza Fujima what up don't forget to add me if you have PS4 and remember practice makes perfect lots and lots and lots of practices.

you get asense of tension and concentration thatgives you practical skills that you canuse in real life the only thing missingfrom this game is rallycross rallycrosshas become more popular in the past fewyears and there's a bunch of new gamesthat include it on top of traditionalrally stage modes the most popular beingdirt 4 available on PC ps4 and Xbox oneit's the 12th game in the Colin McRaeRally Series and the 6th version tocarry the dirt name so it's come a longway and has huge improvements over theiroriginal versions it also comes withvarious dirt racing modes like stadiumtrucks and buggy racing and includes abunch of time period cars like group agroup and and the infamous route Bhowever it doesn't include any WRC carsbecause WRC has the rights reserved fortheir own game but it does haverallycross supercars and rallycrosslightsalthough the rallycross mode is one ofthe funnest ways to go rallying dirt 4is less of a true simulator andtherefore more accessible to a largeraudience

game's physics isconstantly improving so expect this gameto get better as time goes on the mostpopular motor sport in the world FormulaOne has the fewest options when it comesto a true sim racing
