Mike from SimRace604 provides useful insight into the major racing sims, providing answers and solutions to questions that many ask before buying or tucking into a sim.
The paradox of virtual racing, the constant seeking of physics perfection and realism is that sims get more difficult to drive, more nuanced and the only real difference, in the end, is personal taste and feel for a sim, from UI through to the physics, performance, immersion and ultimately community racing.
This is what he says in the intro of this must watch video: “I’m going to be answering the most common question I get asked for each of the following sims: Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Automobilista, Automobilista 2, iRacing, Project CARS 2, Project CARS 3, Raceroom Racing Experience and rFactor 2.”
