It’s important not to confuse realism in terms of physics and difficulty, because a realistic game could be easy, while a less realistic game could be challenging, and vice versa. Of course, these are not the only considerations to take into account, and it’s also essential to think about the cost, ease of installation, level of support available, and expertise level required. When I consider what elements constitute making the best games, two critical factors immediately come to mind: physics and difficulty. Having already shared my advice on building a simulator from scratch, in this post I want to suggest five of the best games, that’ll get your sim racing career started, plus a few more honourable mentions thrown in for good measure.
I’ve played many racing games over the last 20 years, resulting in an accumulation of experience and knowledge. So maybe seeing all this lockdown competition has given you a powerful urge to dive into simracing esports for yourself? Here's a guide for every budget and level of commitment.Since we usually focus on elements of sim racing such as gaming hardware, setup tutorials, and how-to guides here at SimRacingCockpit, I thought it would make a nice change of pace to discuss some of the best sim racing games for any beginners looking to dip their toe into the world of digital motorsport.
Of course the difference between this and real motorsport is you don't need to sell several of your organs on the black market to afford to do it – esports is almost entirely a meritocracy, with the fastest drivers invariably rising to the top. Meanwhile, The Race Legends Trophy sees Jenson Button, Juan Pablo Montoya and even 73 year-old Emerson Fittipaldi dicing in 1970s F1 machinery. Formula E's Race at Home Challenge has managed to rope in the entire grid of drivers for replica races around Monaco and Hong Kong. Formula One has been hosting 'Virtual Grands Prix' that feature real-life F1 pilots, Formula 2 hopefuls and, weirdly, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Where motorsport has been unable to provide, simracing has stepped in. The clue is in how many of the drivers seem to be in loungewear. Unless you're suffering from gradually gathering cataracts, you might have noticed that, up until recently, all the motorsport on television and YouTube recently has been taking place in videogames rather than on real circuits.
