2. Assetto Corsa

The driver’s seat

From Italian video game developer Kunos Simulazioni comes one of the most in-depth race car simulators in the digital motorsport genre – Assetto Corsa.

From the get-go, the game’s superior attention to detail is evident in its faithfully reproduced car models and race courses. But Assetto Corsa’s authenticity is more than skin deep; the developer takes things up several notches by injecting profound realism into its vehicle dynamics and physics. The result? A game that gives you the near-perfect feeling that you’re in the driver’s seat of a real sports car – a game that puts you in control, which puts it at number two on our ranking of best car racing games.

Our rating – 5/5
