What sim racing games are you all playing these days? Here’s a few of my current favourites: EA WRC BeamNG.Drive
Dirt Rally 1.0 on steamdeck
Oh I had this installed for a while actually! Would ordinarily try and have DR2 installed but that file size is not the one…
Yeah 2.0 seemed cool, but I’m not big on the DRM it uses. 1.0 has some crazy physics, but I think they’re fun. I like the menu music better too.
RBRHU, Assetto, BeamNG, iRacing. They’re all great! Haven’t driven in a while though. I go through phases.
When you say RBRHU, is that Richard Burns Rally the Hungarian rally sim fans version, as in RSF?
Yup!
Same one that I use! It’s great. I just wish I didn’t have to download a new installer every time it needed an update 😂
I have a few others, but mostly just race in iRacing. Just started a few months ago, so still working on my kit.
Yeah I always wanted to try iRacing but…my wallet…I’m trying to protect it 🤣
Yeah, it definitely isn’t the least expensive option. Sticking to one or two series can help keep it down somewhat. I’ve still spent a lot more on hardware than software, with much yet to go as well.
Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione
Heard good things about beam ng
I have competizione but never booted it up. I think the GT3 class is something that I never vibed with really. That said I’ve never driven it so there’s still time!
Edit: just gotta add- BeamNG.drive is quite possibly the most underrated driving game out there! You get way more for your money than you’d expect. I cannot speak highly enough of it.
Competitzione has really nice feel. Tire model is great! I only really like hotlapping in GT cars so that’s what I use it for.
Yeah I reckon I’ll give it a go soon enough. I also really don’t enjoy sequential shifters. Love me some old school manual shift!
Automobilista 2
With the racecraft.online community there are really nice and clean races with a casual friendly ranking system.
Lots of classes and tracks, nice damage simulation.
There are a lot of tracks and cars only available through dlc but the technical updates are free.
Are there enough players on RCO now? I was active there a while ago, but the player numbers dropped to only 1 or 2 players per race after a short hype. And I don’t like racing with AI.
I play there since April and started with the gt4 class. There were almost always enough players to not trigger the ai. On evenings\weekends around 7-12 racers average with peaks up to 20. Since last week the new season started and now multiclass races are supported which should result in even more players per race
Sounds good. Maybe I should give it another try.
