Best sim racing games for beginners:
- starts with iracing which is literally one of the most expensive and demanding ones in terms of comitment, time and money 😅
AC is way better.

@Todor Samardzhiev I'm seriously tired of this stupid ass argument. Comparing a games cost to real life is retarded. It should be compared only to the price of other games.
And unless they have fixed Iracings grip problems in the past 6 months, the game is not even realistic enough to directly compare to real life costs anyway.
@Todor Samardzhiev you're forgetting you need to pay for almost EVERYTHING in the game, and it's really not cheap.

Can we take a moment to commend viper for helping the person he mentioned pass his driving test by using AC? Seriously dude, that's really awesome that you did that and it's one of the things that i'm really glad sim games like these allow people to do now.
Fun thing, my dad let me drive his car for the first time some days ago, he trusted me to drive since he knows I like sim racing and had decent knowledge on driving theoretically. Sure enough, I drove pretty well for my first time on the public road, parking, smooth acceleration and braking and steering and whatnot! (I also practiced with assetto beforehand xD)
@@raaedamhar4175 i've been driving before simracing and AC feels so real i can understand it realy helps people . only big difference only 1 chance in real life
@@nyftn oh dang nice! And you are right xD, that's why when I drove for the first time I was really careful but eventually I got comfortable, heck I learned how to reverse out a parking lot first try, something a lot of kids my age learning to drive never did, let alone doing this on a public xD
@@raaedamhar4175 Its nice that your dad let you drove his car. but unfortunately everyone in my family rejected the idea of me learning to drive because I like to play SIM racing
Its has a bad side also, for my own experience at least. I also started first in sim racing, and now Im learning how to drive a real car. The main problem was the braking, I get so used to brake just when its necessary before a corner, that my dad really freak out when see me braking so late. Was difficult to get used on early braking. (I know it can be dangerous, so I practice to keep a safe braking distance with other drivers)
Richard Burns Rally. Call me a madman but Richard designed his own school which REALLY helps you out, and teaches you how to properly drive a car fast.
Yeah, it's really hard and his legacy when on. I'm on dirt rally 2.0 now. Still goes there sometimes.
@@shiroamada1650 there are still mods around, new physics and stuff....you should stick to it, since DR2 and 1 are just kids play in comparison. In EVERY single aspect.

IMO, for a "completely beginner", Gran Turismo would still be a good start.
Though the physics isn't realistic enough comparing to ACC or Rf2, it has a well-designed driving school lessons for beginners to learn how to drive. Also understanding a track section by section through the circuit experience is very helpful.
Agree with you, i learn how to racing (and drive) with gran turismo back at the mid 90's and grew up with juvenile street racing during my middle school and makes me pretty knowledgeable with cars 😅😅
Yes I agree too. If you’re trying to brainwash someone into the ways of simracing and they’ve never driven a car around a track before (or maybe don’t even drive), Gran Turismo Sport is the best way to start IMO. The driving school and circuit experience are the most digestible tutorials for learning how to drive a race car out there.
No all the people have the Playstation 4
@@oreisha9266 That's true, but also not all people has a computer powerful enough to play racing sims.
At least in my situation, I've been playing GT franchise for more than 10 years, but I finally have a PC that is powerful enough for gaming 4 years ago.
@@you_don_t_know_jack4351 today 300 usd can move assetto corsa, no with high settings, but it will go nice
My first sim was project cars 2. I'm having a blast. Caught on very easily
yeah I agree although some cars have very strange behavior imo, but overall I think it's pretty solid
Definitely Starting to get the hang of it
@@Lukim I agree. The lotus 49 doesn't have that late 60s four wheel sliding that that they used to in real life but the GT cars are top notch
Bro
My first Sim was PCARS 1
So much better hearing your voice pal, I think a lot of people would love to just let your videos play for an hour whilst we do laps in our sims so it suits the format a lot better when we can hear you talk :)
I been thinking about that since when I watch videos I usually do the same so thinking about streaming or doing long videos with voice
Next video: top 5 racing Games for pros
5- Ridge Racer
4- Need For Speed
3- GTA V
2- super sprint
1- any other game with physics oposite of realistic
Literally lol, for a second I thought you were serious and I was about to downvote you to hell lol
1- Asphalt 8
GTA 5 isnt less realistic than Ridge Racer and espesically not NFS! There is no weight balance but its not faster to drift every corner! It has some quirks but its actually possible to do some proper racing if you drive against the right people. I recommend searching for Broughy1322, he shows that its possible, maybe even search for MCEC
1 - Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
you forgot trackmania
Meanwhile I'm still playing forza horizon 4 with all assists and call myself a pro
Im a fast boii
Try turning off TC and maybe even ABS on forza horizon, makes a huge difference in terms of both pace and handling, and its way more fun :) I found it very easy to learn but if you have trouble with it you can always change it back.
@@yar2000 thanks, I've already tried that on some easier tracks before i was writing this comment. Should've did that more often at harder tracks too
I suggest you turn off ABS and stability assist for a better experience
@@Anagusame especially stability control, that one just makes you slower.
My first racing sim was GT sport. Some say it isn't a sim, some say it's a sim-arcade, but overall it gave me a real sense of perfection on any sim
According to viper, gt sport is actually more of a sim, so yeah
I have played all the realistic physic sims on PC Assetto Corsa, Rfactor 2, iRacing but the only Gran Turismo game I played was GT5 for PS3 and they definitely made a great job at being a simcade. I really want to try GT Sport as it is a pretty big step up from GT5 in terms of physics and the very improved tire model FFB
Based on physics it's qualified enough to called as a sim, it's just some few options of car and track settings made it a sim-arcade game :3
Mine too, since the beginning i turned off everything and now i have experience, i recomend you to do the same
@@cristianarturosastrecervan9301 yes turn off all aids after first month except ABS. ALL CARS have it now. Cars that don't have it are behind the times. Myself I do keep cones until I thoroughly know the track.
Pcars 1 still holds a special place in my heart.
My first full sim game .... And then i played Pcars 2, and then Asetto Corsa and now i play F1 2020.
it got me to sim racing
My "entry" was DiRT 3, but I would recommend GT Sport and then assetto corsa
Why the F would I play GT sport when PC2 is sitting in my drive?
Dirt 1-5 are arcade racers, it’s the Dirt Rally games that are sims.
@@-Burb Right, But I won't say that it is a good game to start
I’d prefer to start directly with Assetto the physics feel pretty nice
@@sporttube69 Well I have to say that the physics are good. But may be hard for someone to start with. Because people who just start a sim-racing career probebly does not have a crazy set up. I started with a G29 in Project cars 2. It was not easy. So I would prefer people start in RF or PC probebly...
I have started with good old SimBin games: GTR2 and Race 07 are still excellent simulations. They are also very cheap nowadays in Steam.
Ah, GTR2. I still have it in my new PC, with all the mods of my preference (a mostly GT1/GT2/GTE/GT3 and LMP mods). Every now and then I still go back to GTR2 to have a hotlap in, say, 720S GT3 or Vantage AMR GTE
@@AntoniusTyas I have GTR2 too, I still play it but I suggest you more realistic stuff like Assoluto Racing, it has tuning, much cars and physics it's good, it's also a good game for JDM fanboys
i still play GTR2 also with all the mods. very interesting game even for low spec PCs. if any of you would like one-on-one race via hamachi or tunngle we can race gt3 or gt4 races heh cheers
GTR2 is awesome for its design and customizability. I still have a version of this game with the Nordschleife and more than 1000 VLN and 24h Nürburgring skins!
Also, GRID mod with LMPs and GTs is awesome as well.
I started with Indy500 on Dos 5.0 on a 80286 with 10 years lol...but yeah GTR and GTR2 are the games where I seriously started sim racing even in a racing league
I should tell you more about Raceroom. When it comes for price, I highly recommend the starter pack. They just updated it to really fit for someone who wants to start playing the game. It has the best rear wheel drive, front wheel drive and open wheels cars for beginners. If GT4 is too fast for beginners, you can go for bmw m235i. But if you want GT4 without ABS, you can go for GT2. People said it's faster than GT4 but slower than GT3.
And if you want to start driving open wheels, you can start Formula Raceroom Junior before go for F4. Or just straight into F4.
If you want to start driving front wheel drive, the Audi TT RS is good for you.
My "entry" was live for speed because it was fun and only needed 400mb
Now im on assetto
i still launch LFS to play with the FWD cars since they feel pretty good even today
@@Voltmander same!
its so easy i managed to drift a fwd on that gane
Good game, they updated it receny
i downloaded this today and im playing it with a SNES controller
Grazie viper per aver messo in buona luce raceroom, siamo una community molto piccola ma vorremmo crescere, il tuo aiuto è molto gradito
These days, 80% of my driving is in Asseto Corsa Competizione, only issue with it is it's a bit more difficult to run than other sims. Especially if you have 3x QHD monitors. But if you're a fan of GT series racing, look no further.
I never would have gotten into sim racing, if i hadn't had picked up Gran Turismo 5 prologue way back in the day. Gran Turismo games are not the most realistic, but as far as simcade goes, they're great. Realistic enough to teach you how to race, but easy enough to be accessible for a total noob.
Never tried ACC, I can't even think something harder than AC without assists. I'll give it a try, it's only 40$ :D
Started with Asseto Corsa and gotta say one of the best decisions ever .
Same, if you are on PC look for Content Manager launcher for Assetto Corsa and also graphic mod called SOL. It makes game even 5 times better. You can find all info on racedepartment.com
@@Totenkoph93 everybody has that old news stfu
It is hard to learn?
@@midnightrunners911 only difficult thing is mods and graphics tweaks. It takes a week to understand how to properly install and use mods
@@krabzy3933 really? Even if I have installed mods games like Skyrim before?
My first sim will be project cars 2 : I bought the game recently and tried driving with my controller. Although I loved the game, I felt like I couldn't control the car the way I want. So I bought myself a logitech G29 that will get delivered very soon.
Racers, here I come !
Good starting point. I did the same and have jumped to AC soon after. PC2 have a great Single Player content, but it feels wrong on the wheel after trying AC or RF2. Today, i would skip PC2 and would go to AC directly
My top 5 BUDGET sim racing games for beginners/ already once played it when I was at my friends home
1. Raceroom Racing Experience (It is free, has amazing physics, both for pro's and beginners and has the best sounding car sounds in the world of racing games)
2. Assetto corsa (You need to do some practice, and want to learn the pysics and such, how the car reacts, then you master the car and become 'good at it'. Assetto Corsa without any DLC's is fearly cheap to buy, has a huge modding community and easily one of the best sim racing games in history, thats why it is surviving for over (almost) 6 years)
3. Project Cars (No, it is not the second or third gen, but the first one, it has cheap as h*ll and you have a 35% more of a arcady feeling then Assetto Corsa, but still, it is a very good game to begin with!)
4. Dirt Rally ( this is the same story as Project Cars, it is is the first generation of the series, has fearly good graphics and is a bit more arcady then Dirt Rally 2.0)
5. Any Formula 1 game before 2016 (This is the only good Formula-focused game thats gets its job done, here you can have different strategies and those have a huge impact on the race: Tyres? Medium, Hard, Soft, Hypersoft, Ultrasoft or Supersoft? The choice is your's!)
What do you think about the list? plz comment then! And thank you for the video viperconcept!
Great list dude, happy about the number one spot. AC is awesome
I started my love for Sim-Racing with Assetto Corsa and still my number 1 go-to for my sim-racing fix.
So glad you picked AC 2014. Just bought this game and its amazing. Its the first racing game I've ever played which actually feels like a real car in your fingers when using a wheel of course.
What wheel do you have? Been looking for a more "realistic" in the sense of feel, but I only have a G920, so perhaps that's rather the problem.
When you choose project cars 2 as your first sim:
*Laughs in insanity*
haha.... I did that....
Same here, quickly changed for assetto Corsa...
PC2 is a good game to start tbh
If you re not ultra serious it is a good game to start
Started with Race07 and have settled with RaceRoom and ACC with a little F1 2020 mixed in.. Love them all!
Yeah race 07 a classic!
I remember playing Total Immersion Racing when I was a kid, amazing game tbf
Hey viperconcept I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for your content and take care!
thank you very much!
My first racing sim was Assetto Corsa. It definitely is a nice beginning point. It was nice and easy to catch on with.
My first entry full Sim game was Project Cars 2, it taught me a lot of things that GT doesn't, and been having a blast since then. :)
I started with Grid (2007 version).. I played it with keyboard but learned how to take the curves, overtaking, etc.
Nowadays I have a G29 and bought Assetto Corsa with all DLCs as my first "real sim" game to practice and learn. I hope to be playing soon some games like Raceroom or AC Competizione.
Sry for my poor english. Greetings from Argentina!
@DarkAidenn ah, Race driver grid. I remember seeing it, randomly, on Amazon. I didn’t even know it existed but it was only £4 and free delivery. I gave it a go and absolutely loved it. So glad that I randomly found it because if not, I wouldn’t have heard about it. Although, back then , I used just controller. Such great memories with Grid.
From my experience, i would highly recommend starting with dirt rally 2.0, then trying out f1 2019 and after that any other sim on the level of assetto corsa or even iracing. I really learnt how to control inputs and the car itself with dirt rally 2.0 and f12019
lol, opposite what he said but you're not neccesarilly wrong. People learn better and faster differently, so having something high octane and far more challenging yet easy to redo and has an amazing rewarding feeling, don't be scared of trying rally and F1 games out.
I am not a fan of the excess oversteery nature of the cars in Dirt Rally 2 when initiating a drift, it is almost TOO oversteery with less resistance and I believe is not as precise as other sims
@@BigPenPapi69 I agree, but that's why I would start with those two, while it's easy to start a slide, it's also quite easy to control, which helped me learn to avoid spinning out once a drift is started. Maybe it's just that i'm weirfd idk hahaha
I stated in normal simcades... got assetto corsa, liked a lot, went to dirt rally.. sucked a lot, back to assetto, enjoy it but some thing was of... Went to pc2... Hate it, went to ams1 love it too the bone... Enter vr... Back to assetto corsa, just play it and missed ams1 drive feeling.... The i decide to taste rfactor2, became addicted.... After rfactor2 returned to really in dirt rally 2, and suddenly i enjoy the experience. End up hooked to dirt rally 2 and rfactor2, if i need a multiplayer fix just fire up assetto corsa.
@@balamacab I guess you need some experience to enjoy dirt rally 2.0 then hahaha
In case of using controllers to start sim racing, I recommend Acc, it is easy and forgiving with controller assist. In ac, a small mistake can cause spin or crash which makes it hard to play. But acc corrects your mistake with controller assist. I play this game with controller and it’s really easy compare to other sim game in the list.
Please consider buying yourself a decent ffb wheel, it's a life changer! At least my thrustmaster TX did change mine..
@@tibotibo6 I know a wheel is amazing. But supply of wheel is low in our country so price is high. Also thrustmaster is not available and Fanatec doesn’t deliver in our country. Even though the g29 is available and I can buy logitech right now, still I am saving some more money to buy fanatec because it’s better and by the time it’s available I'll have enough money. But I need some skill so I'm using controllers. Everybody likes wheel over controller but budget is a painful thing, not all can afford it, you know.
@@phantompilot300 Sorry to read that, I didn't take those facts in regards, because I live in France, where there is plenty of choice and some are pretty cheap. Thank you for your aknowledgement. Fanatec are quite expensive here, but it's definetly a good choice. You will have great fun!
@@tibotibo6 yeah, the cheapest one in my country is like $400 and for us $400 is like stacks of gold. Yes, driving without a wheel is nuts and "sinful" but we as racing fans also want to experience the thrill of racing without limited by an equipment that not all of us can afford. So next time if someone ask "anyone have a great keyboard/gamepad srrtup for this game?" try not to answer with "buy a wheel", maybe he just want to race gt3 cars around spa without minding the physics and just want to get 1st place
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 well a G29 in Brasil is 3k lol I ain’t gonna get this thing as soon as I think I was
I went directly for Assetto Corsa and at the beginning I had to go through a lot of difficulties and frustration. Especially because I had to confront another important step, the one from "arcade racing games" to "full simulation" ones, and personally that was hard as hell. Plus, I never gave importance to the setup of the car, I kept on following that arcade mood where you don't need all of these kind of stuff. But then I progressively learnt, and I got better, well, at least to the point of not spinning every corner.
I also techniqually started with assetto corsa i love it it might br because i actually race abit in real life but personally assetto corsa is good for begginers in my experience
@@redsheepnobs877 Indeed, but it really depends on your racing games background. If you come, like me, from arcade games like NFS it may require some more time to understand the mechanics of a sim. But of course, it's a very individual factor since there are even people that learn very fast unlike me. But, yes I totally agree with you. Assetto is an hell of a nice game, and when you learn to race properly it's worth all the time. I have hundreds of hours on the game and don't regret any. The game is fire.
When I started simracing I did a big mistake:
I started with Dirt Rally 2.0 (LMAOOO)
Then cuz it was too hard I bought project cars 2 (💀💀💀)
But then I’ve made the right choice, I bought Assetto Corsa
LMAOOOOOO I-

Oh geez yeah definitely don’t start with that xD, yeah I can totally see how that would be hard
For me the best ones are games from Forza Motorsport series and Project Cars (haven't played 2 and 3). Can recommend those ^^
But Forza is not a Full Sim game. It's a Simcade game
I would get Project Cars 2 not 3 they fucked up on three
@ I know. But still it's a nice simcade for beginners in my opinion.

Oh just dipping my toe into sim racers, I'm gonna get *IRACING*
i spent allot of time on gt4 with a wheel and enjoyed every minute lol
RaceRoom is quite easy to drive for beginners because even I, a keyboard driver, can be in the 50% fastest time in free competitions. The public lobby is usually not too great although there are still some clean drivers around, the rest are just high ping. And remember: packs are the best
The other dude who was trying to get familar with cars before driving license in AC is me :)
I thank this game for showing me how to do it, even if my brother (8y DL owner, drives a lot), who went flat out and crashed on the first corner of the famous Tofu delivery track, was saying this has nothing to do with the real world driving lol
But yeah, my brother in Christ, you went 120 kph on the road, where its speed is limited 30 irl lol

My first was Project CARS now I'm glued to raceroom.
I've started with gran turismo 5, definetly had laughs when i crashed.
Now that i've grown up, i have been currently playing The Crew 1, and honestly now it looks more fun to drive well 👍
my first sim was live for speed. i use mouse steering and it was great for me
Man i love the rfactor content
Started "sim" racing only at the release of GT7. Just switched to ACC, wow what a difference. I can not compare ACC to others because I have not played them, but as a beginner to sim racing I can say that ACC is VERY challenging. Any incorrect inputs on the pedals or wheel, such as too hard of braking / too much throttle / poor steering input, will make you pay for your mistakes. Again, I've not played any other sim games, but this one seems to be a good entry point
I would expect that viperconcept included gt sport
But good video stay with the good job viperconcept
For me it's pretty simple. A good sim is one, that is so well balanced that you can only blame yourself when it doesn't go well. PC2 is great on so many levels but it's not the best because the tires and road surfaces never matches properly and you never get the feeling of where the limits are. There's also too much difference in grip from session to session, which is frustrating.
that is due to season / track temperature. You'll have more grip on a sunny summer day than in a cloudy autumn one. When I set up online lobbies they're always set on summer.
@@NeiFidelis No, the tiremodel has never worked properly.
I feel like you probably should've included the user interface and menu systems in your judgement. On some of the higher rated sim games it's sometimes extremely difficult to navigate those if you don't know what you're doing and it can be a real turn-off for beginners.
I wish I could double like a video. This is a fantastic list with really good information on why you made your choices. Thanks for this!
Raceroom is legit one of the greatest, and with some very often price reductions you can get the whole content if you want at around 150-200 euro or maybe even less. Recommend 100%
premium pack with all content is 99 euros (64,99 if you buy it with virtual race points) and packs are several times per year at 50%... So all game on something about 30-35euro not 200!!!!! Not mentioned rankeds are working better and better everyday
@@uriloki so even cheaper then what I said. Awesome
I started with Project Cars 2 with a controller so uh
Same. I bought a wheel now at 24 after not having the money to invest. Bought a G29 and I love that thing
However, I cant be as competitive in the wet compared to a controller. I have outlandish pace in the rain

My starting game was Dirt Rally ( cause i got free key from humble bundle :D ) And it was horrifying. First rallies was fine with mini cooper. But then i bought Lancia Stratos. And then i quit the game, and bought Assetto Corsa with all DLC's. And I started competing in Republic of Simracers league, and I fell in love in this game.
I'm currently starting with DR 2.0, find it fun though. It was a bit "horrifying" being stuck in a pitch black forest with all my lights broken though. Had to max my brightness and keep moving forward, slowly XD
Ah, rF2 and its oatmeal smoke coupled with 20th century graphics. Can't beat that.
Unlisted gang, rise up
Started with Project CARS just for fun, then Project Cars 2 also just for fun.
At some point, I bought Assetto Corsa and got completely lost because of the difficulty, so I stood with pCars2.
Played GRID2, fun but not like pCars2.
Played Dirt4, fun but not like pCars2.
A few months after, starting to get interested in playing full-sims, I tried to dedicate myself into Assetto Corsa more, and now I'm having such a blast playing it. I won't say "better than pCars2" because in some aspects it's not, and I'm still playing it and it's still great to me. But Assetto Corsa has that little something that really got me into serious simracing. Progress made in pCars2 could be seen a little bit on AC, but the progress I was making in AC was even more noticeable in pCars2.
I bought rFactor2 a little while ago, and got repulsed a bit like Assetto Corsa the first time I played it. I definitely going to give it another try someday.
So, even if it's reaaally controversial, you could definitely give a try to the Project CARS 1 or 2 as a first racing simracing game, but Assetto Corsa is THE must-play. I agree with Viper!
Hey dear sim racers enthusiast AC is currently for sale at 7.89€ on steam for the ultimate edition bundle witch is all incluse it ends one the 01/12

My first sim is beamng drive with a farming simulator wheel...I know I'm talented
It's not a racing simulator though
@@MDDeGrande1994 it is a driving and crashing simulator, and given there are race tracks and cars it means beamng is also a simracing game
Agree with some of comments in here that gran turismo is a good starting point for someone whose having a zero experience in driving (not even racing) with their driving license system, it really teach the very basic of managing a car and understanding the track sector
I used to be a racing arcade games fan, my favorite was NFSMW. Gran Turismo 6 on PS3 was my first experience with a sim-cade, I loved it. I bought PS4 + GT Sport bundle to keep the passion. Then started playing Assetto Corsa on PS4. I don't know if AC is a sim-cade or a fullsim, but it was a huge challenge. My next step will be buying a steering wheel.
Beam NG? really? last time i tried it felt like you were driving on air
they released an update that made tyres actually have grip now, so it seems pretty good.
It is a full sim in the sense that it simulates every part of the car in real time.
I'm actually surprised Project Cars 2 didn't make the list, but I understand. From a racing/driving perspective, it's not the most "sim" and has kinda mediocre force feedback unless you're willing to delve into custom files (PC only). But with the hue selection of cars and tracks, I kinda feel like it should be a contender.
Technically I got into racing way back with Gran Turismo 2 on the PS1, but I don't count the games before stuff with modern physics and tires and such. I guess I'd say I really started sim racing with the original Project Cars, but it was too hard on a gamepad and I didn't really get into things until years later when I got PCARS 2 and was enjoying it enough to spring for a TMX Pro wheel. After that it was down the rabbit hole. Now I spend a lot of time in rFactor 2, and recently picked up Automobilista 2. Great stuff.
I'm on the verge of getting rFactor 2. I think your video just helped me make up my mind.
I'm stuck on GT Sport for now but I'm really asking myself about switching to a more customizable online experience (in terms of car settings). I'm learning the bases of car settings thanks to your videos.
Amazing and clean job, keep doing great content my friend !
my first race sim was GT5. The good old days!
I watched every ads in your video & always keep in mind it's forbidden to skip it.
GT Sports is the best beginner sim racing game due to driving school and learning resources provided in-game, not to mention it has the best multiplayer. I started with AC and PC2 and I sucked at sim racing so it completely discouraged me but by playing GT Sports I fast-tracked my skills and now I have blast playing most of the sim racing games.
My opinion changed from last time instead of just assetto Corsa it's assetto Corsa or gtr 2 because gtr 2 has different assist level preset which is really good plus it's extremely immersive and it also uses isi engine the same one rfactor 2 uses an older one but it's still good and it's definitely easy to drive with the novice preset I discovered this gem when I borrowed my dad's computer and I wanted a sim that can run on a work laptop
If I ever meet this guy viperconcept in real life....
I'm gonna buy him a beer 🍻
just got back into sim racing , so I was surfing some old channels i used to watch a couple year ago
when he satrted talking i just went mental ))))
Lmao gtfo outta here hater
I personally think starting sim racing with F1 is a good and bad option. Good because even if the cars are extremely fast, the grip and traction in corners is a lot easier to manage (less chance of spinning out). The bad is that you get used to the insane grip levels and when you play something like ACC its hard to relearn the braking points and the throttle/brake control to ease the cars through corners.
I started sim racing with F1 and I sometimes find it hard to relearn tracks for GT cars because I'm so used to the car going near full throttle around certain corners that slower and less grippy cars tend to struggle with compared to F1. I do think it's better to start slow and work your way up, slowly closing the braking zone gaps the faster the car but the F1 games from Codemasters is a very easy game to get into considering it's range of assists that help ease new players into racing games.
Driveclub always gets it. I think it's a pretty realistic sim but you MUST turn off ALL assists. I figured this out after a long time of playing it in VR- there is a basic menu for assists and then you must go deeper into the settings to find more assists you can turn off. After you turn off all assists it's definitely is a legit sim. Sadly, I don't think many ever went that deep into the settings so it gets remembered as more arcade-like.
I was a classic Colin McRae 2\3\2005 huge fan and nerd!) Played on keyboard or controller.
And now re-open car games for myself and family once again - good things - its forgotten old things)
After buying a wheel, it was really hard to decide where to go -to which game series. Love rally, but WRC series is .....meh....Only Dirt Rally\2 was more less option.
Also there are not much open world car games with good physics, and it was a miracle when i found put that Forza Horizon 5 was already 3rd game in series, that goes on PC...Wow... Graphics there and sim-arcade behavior of car, limitless car park, insane tuning just shocked me. Was quick to found Impreza and gone for off road racing events lol.
Not sure about modding over there, seems to be game dev's don't like if someone modding their game and change code)lol.
So my choice was BeamNG obviously. Cause i remember Spintires, and have already mighty SnowRunner on Havok engine, that at least not look like paper 😂(wonder if Havok engine capable to make same as BeamNG, cause they feel kind of similar in terms of car physics). In terms of high speed, after this video about it - Assetto Corsa get in my library instantaneously, and even without mods - the physics and behavior is gorgeous.
Apologies for not related comparison, but game isn't that old.
For example Squad is 2015 early access on Unreal Engine 4, and Insurgency Sandstorm is 2018 full release, so its fine. Battlefield 2\Project Reality is way older and its still on point, and seems to be there is no replacement for yet. Today are most important thigs - modding, physics, longevity and quality of game, as well as its features, gameplay and perfomance.
Wonder if i able to make simple arcade on UE4 or even UE 5) Will see.
Thank you again, that make my choice in this crazy world of sim racing easier !
rFactor 1 .... and I still play it.
I agree with the list except for iRacing. I would have put Gran Turismo in there instead. Even when you have money to burn, iRacing isnt a friendly platform at all. Its cumbersome and there are all these bits and things you need to do just to get the ball rolling. iRacing is for die-hard racing freaks with experience. Assetto Corsa though sure deserves a huge number 1 to it. Its as friendly or as hard as you want it to be. It can be pure racing or even "arcade-sh" if you want it to be. The mod community is insane and there isnt a track or a car or a weather that you cant mod into it. AC is perfect.
Thank you for this detailed review, and I like the fact, that it sounds as if you say fuel simulation when you mean full simulation. It coincidentally fits like a charm 😆👍
No wayyyyyyyy! The video in the end is the my favorite called " we are heros"
my entry was F1 2012, now I'm on F1 202x, Project CARS 2, Assetto Corsa and rFactor lol
Well I'm confused. You say it's important for beginners wanting to learn that the sim be realistic, so you exclude arcade games (I agree). Your opening chart showed Automobilista 2 firmly (and correctly) in the realistic category, and yet it doesn't even make the top 5?? I have bought and tried at length all the Sims you listed, plus both Automobilista titles, and in my opinion I have learned more about car control and the fundamentals of racing through AMS's excellent physics, especially driving the lower powered cars like the Puma GT5 and the Formula Trainers. You are quite correct I think to mention the importance of starting in lower powered cars, but they should still be a challenge to drive if you're going to learn anything useful.
AMS2 is still a work in progress, that's true, but it's at a really advanced stage now and an absolute joy for me to drive. I do still have fun firing up Assetto Corsa now and then, but it feels so easy and far less realistic to drive compared to AMS2. I was a complete beginner in the summer of 2019 and now I'm somewhat competent, overwhelmingly due to the time I've spent in AMS1 and AMS2. Don't get me wrong, AC is a ton of fun, and it is the first title I started out with. I only wish I'd discovered Automobilista sooner than I did.
why does the assetto corsa (1st game) feels like I´m driving the cars on ice, no matter what vehicle I chose even F1 car is sliding all over the place and I have turned abs and tc all the way up, oh and I´m playing on ps4 using the controller
Well it was meant to be for a wheel so controller is very hard i recommend a wheel
now I know everything about FUEL simulation!
thx!
For me, I'm sticking on project cars 2 thank you. I'm having fun in rallycross but still i can't drive straight on tarmac circuits.
Thanks for this video. I think I'm decided to get Assetto Corsa especially the very tempting Steam sale right now.
I know these top N videos is always arguable and debatable but I'd take your advice. I think the main thing that sold me to it is that you can just drive casually which what I kinda enjoy now with games like GTA V and Euro Truck Sim. But lately I'm getting really interested with racing as I'm getting into F1 after watching Drive To Survive :)
I know people will laugh but I do win races in Forza Horizon 4 with Average AI and all assists off :D
I have a Logitech G29 setup.
My first sim game was GT Sport in 2018 and since then i feel in love with sims, i got a PC and grabbed Dirt Rally 1,2 and Asseto Corsa with a wheel
I think it's a good list. I started with pCars1 then moved to iRacing and do some casual pCars2 which is actually a really good start as well.
Great! I enjoyed watching it!
I was still playing Viper Racing (released 1997) until a couple of years ago. 😛
Gran Turismo 4 was my first proper simulated driving experience, I would say GT4 was the first driving game that allowed the full human car driving motions to be replicated with the support and introduction of the 900-degree force feedback wheel.
It was great
I got a G923 and Assetto Corsa a few months ago and I agree with most of what is said in this video. I also got Raceroom to play a bit more casually and I also liked the realism in Rfactor 2. I do have a very low end laptop and I'm surprised of how well Assetto Corsa runs and looks lowest graphic settings.
I do have to say that in AC it takes a bit of time to properly learn each Track and Car, I never used assists and watched some real life footage and telemetry. I also had to research a bit and learn a bit about car setups. In some situations it made a huge diference. Carreer mode without assists it's the oposite of any arcade game experience. It's going to be hard but you'll learn something on every step. Using content manager with raceu, worldsimseries has been a real improvement with multplayer, mods and finding races every day almost at any time.
I just bought asseto corsa and suprised on how cheap it is, and now i see this, thanks god i don't choose the wrong sim game for beginner 😁
I started with Richard Burns Rally with a keyboard, perfect realism ahaha (It was Years and Years ago)
Viper can u try live for speed?
