Grid 2 is a racing simulator that takes place across major locations around the world and contains vehicles spanning over four decades.
The controls for the game are quite complicated and require you to understand the feel of the controls before you start competing in major events.
This is not a game for people who are looking for an arcade like simulator as you will find yourself constantly crashing against the barriers if you do not slow down before the turns. A sequel to the game that takes place in a more conservative environment was released in the year but did not receive positive reviews. Grid 2, however, is one of the best rated games out there and we highly recommend this to anyone looking for an off-the track racing simulator.
Sonic is one of the better known mascots in the gaming industry, and most probably the fastest, so when a racing game was announced for the Sonic the hedgehog series, gamers all around the world were pretty excited.
What we received was a polished racing game called Sonic All Star Racing featuring some of the most recognizable characters from the Sega universe. This was not all that Sega had in store for us, and a couple of years after the release of the original title, Sega released Sonic All Star Racing transformed.
The game features tracks that require players to traverse through land, air and water with the vehicles transforming to the required state automatically when the player approaches the area. It is one of the most fun racing games that you can play along with your friends and hence finds its way into this list at the number 8 spot. If Sonic is one of the better known mascots out there, Mario is the face of the gaming industry.
We doubt there is a single person out there who is not familiar with the Mario universe; a franchise that has single-handedly shaped the gaming industry. There are a lot of spin-offs from the original Mario series and Mario Kart is one of them that takes the most well known characters in the universe and places them in a racing circuit.
The game plays similar to other Kart racing titles where you are required to race against other opponents while using powerups to disrupt their race.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the eighth installment in the Mario Kart series and has been developed and published by Nintendo in the year for the Wii U and later remastered for the Nintendo Switch in the year Read More: Best Flash Games.
Wreckfest is a game that takes the best mechanics of the racing genre and merges it with demolition derby with the main objective of the race being the last one to survive. The cars in this game is one of the most durable you will find in any of the entries in this list and there is a certain satisfaction involved in crashing these monsters against your opponents.
Developed by Bugbear Entertainment and published by THQ Nordic in the year for Windows systems, the game has received overall positive reviews from critics worldwide. An adaptation for the PS4 and Xbox One systems is currently under development but a proper release date has not yet been confirmed by the devs.
It has generated mostly positive reviews from critics and has been praised for its collection of licensed cars. F1 is a long running racing video game series that focuses on the F1 racing tournament and allows its players to relive the fast paced action right on their gaming consoles. You can compete against some of the best racers in the world in licensed cars that are built for speed alone. I'll run through thoses and pick a few good ones.. Any thoughts on Steering wheels for the pc? I want force feedback, pedals.
It is extremely rugged, very heavy, has excellent force feedback effects and it is the best wheel I have owned by a country mile. Best of all if you can get your hands on one they are very cheap as they are not XP compatible.
Quote from: markb on November 21, , pm. Trackmania Sunrise with the new free eXtreme add on pack!!! Even if you start off with one racing cab, try the "Hot Seat" mode! Well been looking at all the options, and thanks guys for the suggestions I've decided to build them with xbox's inside instead of pc's.
Should be a nice conversation piece in the basement with all the other cabs. The first Dirt Rally was a revelation when it arrived in , departing from the snapback caps and energy drink ads that erstwhile came to define the Dirt series and renewing its focus on the staggering challenge of - well, just keeping a car on the track of a rally course. In our review of Forza Motorsport 7 , James calls it "so vast and all-encompassing that not only can I turn it into a stupid game about vans, I can also make it a game about conquering my van obsession and finally learning how to drive cool sports cars.
The addition of dynamic weather effects transforms the typical race from a technical route memorization test to an impromptu puddle-dodging marathon in low visibility. Night tracks slowly transition to dawn, sunlight filling out pitch black darkness while Forza looks and plays better than ever. It's weighed down by an awful progression system too dependent on a hackneyed loot box system, but as the first mainline Forza on PC, Motorsport 7 is malleable enough to absorb the shock of a few speed bumps.
This is the racing sim that attempts to do it all: ice racing on studded tires around Swedish snowdrifts. Karting in the Scottish highlands. Loose surface racing feels just as convincing as hitting the track in a road-legal car, and the fidelity it conveys to your hands as you try to bully a car into the apex with its force feedback support is best-in-class stuff. Several racing drivers across numerous disciplines acted as consultants during development, and it really does show.
A strong eSports scene is now solidified around Project CARS 2, and such is the depth of simulation that for young aspiring drivers, this might well be a fitting substitute for time on track. With its regular online racing leagues and meticulous car and track modelling, iRacing is as close to real racing as you can get on the PC.
That also means iRacing is something you need to work up to. It has no meaningful single-player component and, with its subscription fees and live tournament scheduling, it requires significant investment. Oh, and a force feedback wheel is quite literally required here - that's not us saying the gamepad support is poor.
The game just won't let you race unless you have a wheel. But for a certain class of sim racing fan, there is nothing that compares. The very best iRacing players often compete in real motorsport too, and make a career out of eSports sim racing. And having first released now over a decade ago in , it's consistently stayed astride with the latest simulators each year.
Quite an achievement. This is a brilliant, great-looking F1 sim and just keeps getting deeper the more you look into it.
It could also use a little more flair and personality in its presentation. As for polish, forget about it. What this license gives its successor is an inviting championship structure with different vehicle categories and highly scalable endurance racing across treasured circuits like Paul Ricard, Spa Francorchamps and Circuit de Catalunya.
Almost a decade after the release of Trackmania 2, Ubisoft Nadeo debuted its semi-reboot of series with Trackmania The new game features some significant graphical upgrades, but the real treat is the addition of daily featured tracks, new track pieces like ice, and improved checkpointing. Most importantly, it's a fresh start for Trackmania detached from Nadeo's strange Maniaplanet platform.
But don't worry, Trackmania is still incredibly weird. I've already played tons of nonsensical tracks that require pinpoint timing, endless repetition, and a little bit of luck.
Nadeo is also taking a more hands-on approach to post-release content by releasing new tracks made by the studio on a seasonal basis. If you're a lapsed fan or new to the series, this is where you want to be. Motorcycle racing is inherently exciting - the lean angles, suicidal overtakes and acceleration rates just make for a great spectator sport.
And Italian superbike specialists Milestone really nail that feeling of terror and bravery of being on a factory MotoGP bike.
