Some of us can’t afford those high-end PCs to play the amazing racing games that have been released in recent years. But luckily there are a lot of racing games that support low-end PCs and look amazing. That’s why here are the 15 best racing games for low-end PCs! All of these will run on at least 3 or 4GB Ram, which are considered low-end. So, let’s get started!

15 . GT Racing 2

GT Racing 2 is a great Gameloft game that is different from the Asphalt series. The new physics model provides the most realistic car dynamics available in a handheld game to date. This year's richest handheld racing simulation game: 71 licensed cars on 13 tracks, including the actual Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. It also has steering and braking assistance to assist you on your journey.

14 . GRID Autosport

GRID Autosport is a testament to that Codemasters went back to their roots to bring a cracking game. The game was originally released for PC and Consoles and in 2019 it was released for Android. The game focuses on realism so it might not be your cup of tea. The graphics are really good for an arcadish racing game and the gameplay is definitely challenging. You can participate in races and time trials as well as championships. There are about 100 cars and tracks in the games so you won’t be missing anything.

13 . Asphalt 8

Asphalt 8 offers a fast-paced racing experience with over 300 high-performance cars and motorcycles ready to drive, drift, and put to the test on the asphalt. The racing is intense because it has over 300+ cars and bikes, including luxury models from top licensed manufacturers. While exploring different worlds and scenarios, you can collect high-end vehicles, Special Edition cars, and drift.

12 . NFS Shift 2: Unleashed

It might be a shock seeing an NFS game here but believe it or not, Shift 2 is really enjoyable if you’re just entering the competitive racing scene and want to have fun. It features many real-life championships for players to participate in including the FIA GT3 and GT1 championships. It has around 140 cars and provides much better crash physics and gameplay than most in the series.

11 . rFactor 2

rFactor 2 is the sequel to the much-appraised rFactor. The game is critically acclaimed by sim racing fans and drivers particularly due to its realistic physics and gameplay. The car and track models are accurate to their real-life counterparts and provide a genuine experience. In the online mode, you can join public events. Other than that you can join a league and play your way through the ranks. Most players prefer joining a league as it is much more enjoyable.

10 . Asphalt 9: Legends

When it comes to generation-defining visuals and gameplay in the mobile racing sector, Asphalt takes the cake. Asphalt 9 while doesn’t live up to the standards of its predecessors, gives a great experience nonetheless, especially on PCs.  Graphics-wise it is probably the best you can get for a low-end one. The gameplay is fun and addictive but the online-only aspect is a huge turn-off. The arcade-style physics are noteworthy. The sense of speed is surprisingly really good. If you just want to have fun this game will give you that.

9 . Horizon Chase

Horizon Chase captures the 80s nostalgia perfectly. The racing is fun exciting and definitely adrenaline-pumping to keep you hooked to your phone. The graphics may not be impressive, but the gameplay is seriously fun. The color palette is really great to look at and is surely worth a look.

8 . Iracing

If you have a big budget to fund your sim racing career, then iRacing is the game to choose and that’s also why it is last on the list. The budget mention comes up as it requires a subscription to the game starting at $13 a month. Bummer, I know, but this is a highly competitive game and has a serious learning curve. If you’re willing to invest then this can make you a better racer and a better driver. You can even find real-life drivers like Fernando Alonso, Max Verstappen, Tony Kanaan, Rubens Barrichello, Will Power, and many more. I mean what’s better than saying that you got destroyed by Max Verstappen and Lando Norris week after week?

7 . The Crew 

In Crew, the map is the United States of America, literally. It is so big and diverse that it’ll take a bunch of your time to explore every nook and cranny in the game.  Unlike other mainstream racing titles, The Crew takes a more linear approach with the storytelling with Troy Baker voicing the main character. You can take part in races, obviously, and various other challenges and stunts throughout this massive map, and believe me, you won’t ever get tired.

6 . Assetto Corsa 

Assetto Corsa is sometimes considered as a sim racers’ paradise. The driving physics in this game is considered to be the best in its genre. Tyre pressures, brake temperatures, and many more play a key role in setting up your car for a specific track. You can’t just go out and drive a car on a track because the game is so brutal newcomers. The learning curve is steady and worth putting time into. Other than that, the modding community has made the game look like a recently released one with a bunch of graphics, environment, tracks, and car mods. This is the game the true racers always come back to.

5 . Wreckfest

There hasn’t been that many demolition derby games, but with the arrival of Wreckfest that void has been filled. It is an intense arcade racer with no rules or regulations to slow things down. You will race your way through different tracks while wrecking other cars on your path to victory lane. The more wreckages you cause in the process of driving, the better! It is the perfect racing game for anyone who likes to leave destruction in their wake. You can choose from an assortment of vehicles and race on various tracks with different surfaces such as dirt, tarmac, or grass. If you want to chill out and destroy everything while having some Mountain Dew, look no further than Wreckfest.

4 . Project CARS 

Now, look you have your Forzas and Gran Turismos, but there is always that third one that always goes unnoticed. In this regard, it's Project Cars 2. When it got released, it fared better than GT Sport and Forza Motorsport 7, believe it or not. The game had everything from, different kinds of cars to all the essential tracks. Ever wanted to race Indycars in the Nordschleife in the snow while it is raining? This game has it. Do you want to drive a classic car in classic Spa or Monza emulating that gentleman driver feel? This game also has it. It even has NASCAR! How many games can say that?

3 . NFS Hot Pursuit 

The 2010 Hot Pursuit reboot featured stunning graphics for its time and the gameplay is just fantastic. The graphics are spectacular and it takes us back to those times when life was simple. The police chases are just over the top and full of excitement. The game is just intensely fun to play especially with the multiplayer mode. You can either play as the police or the racers in a beautifully designed open-world California. The graphics aren’t over the top so it’ll work well on your low-end setup.

2 . F1 2019

F1 cars are the fastest racing cars to ever exist on the planet. If you’ve seen them on TV or been to a track, you’ve definitely had the feeling of driving one. Well, you definitely can with the new F1 game from Codemasters. The graphics and physics are close to real life and you’ll feel like you’re watching an actual onboard of driving where, in fact, you’re the driver! The graphics are crisp and doesn’t require a lot of memory to run.

1 . Forza Horizon 4

Adding to its stunning visuals and massive open-world gameplay, Forza Horizon 4 features a vast array of cars set up in the mesmerizing English countryside. There are more than 400 cars in this game, from new to old. From driving a 1930s Alfa Romeo to drifting a McLaren P1. This game also has a huge collection of Ferraris if you have a thing for the prancing horse. The game has it all. You can modify them according to your wish and obviously fine-tune them to your liking. Graphically it requires a lot, but with at least 4GB of RAM, it runs at a solid 30 fps.
