How about Dirt Rally... realistic?
Most SIM game in the DIRT lineup by far. I love it. It will certainly make you pay for your mistakes.![]()
Are all the race-types within the game strictly against the clock, or are there regular races as well? And it's still around @ $60. ?
Oh, and damn, you have your CPU at 4.8 GHz? YIKES, dude....
I was going to play GPL again, but it is a PITA to re-install all the mods/add-ons, and in a certain order, and then there are glitches, lock-ups, etc....
The only thing that may prevent me from playing a racing sim again is the set-up/take-down of the wheel/pedals every time you play.... I don't use a console controller.
GT Legends sounds good. How about Dirt Rally... realistic?
Having built and driven various race cars in real life, it's difficult to understand how people who have never driven a race car, let alone any car at LeMans, Road America, Nurburgring, etc., can say that one driving game is more realistic than another. They all seem like video games to me. The most important thing is that you get the "feeling" of driving and the sensation of speed, which is kind of what it's all about.
Dirt Rally may not be the most "realistic" driving sim, but it is really fun to play.
I love cars and racing, but it's not realistic to have a full wheel and game setup, even though it would be pretty sweet. If I can get rid of the work on the computer, pick up the controller and go computer racing for an hour a day, I'm getting my money's worth.

but expensive
This is the biggest factor keeping me from iracing, subscription pricing AND you have to pay per car and per track for anything besides the base cars/tracks.
It can get expensive fast.
shift 2 unleashed
We say "realistic" because that's the best term to describe the driving characteristics.
Playing something like Project CARS where you have to properly break going into a corner and you're rewarded for a good apex is more realistic than something like GRID where you can just mash it and fly through everything.
It's just a word to describe the driving mechanics - - not imply that it is a perfect 1:1 representation of driving a real race car.
Ugh I completely forgot about iRacing, a huge money and time sink. Fun game though. There's also SimRaceway, which is kind of the answer for those who can't spend time and money on iRacing, it's a free2play game but some cars can be over $30 (like the Maclaren MP4/4).This is the biggest factor keeping me from iracing, subscription pricing AND you have to pay per car and per track for anything besides the base cars/tracks.

Even with everything turn off in Autosport, it's a little bit of an annoyance, it drives weird but I can't really explain it.Dirt Rally
GRiD Autosport (if you turn everything off)
Project Cars
