Sooo, we up for running a Formula Rookie or some such silliness league sometime? I assure you that if I don't come last (just finishing is hard enough for me lmao) I'll be as surprised as anybody!!!

Well.. there is something similar on steam right now. Using the Games Workshop Dark Future license: https://www.aurochdigital.com/darkfuturevideogame
Not as good as Autoduel, but looks fun nonetheless.
What game though?

This thread has reignited my old passion for racing games. I used to be really into them, but my mega-obsession with ED for so many years meant that they more or less fell by the way side. Because of this topic, I dusted off my old copy of Dirt Rally, started a fresh career and spent the last couple days muscling my way from the Open "noob" division to the Elite division, only one rank beneath the ultimate Masters. I'm driving with a controller so I feel I'm handicapped, but even so the visceral thrill of coming out on top in an event and pushing your career forward is unparalleled. For anyone who hasn't tried it, it's a whole different kind of racing then something like Project Cars 2 (which I just recently picked up), much grittier and bare knuckle. The feeling of speed, danger and flatout adrenaline is just savage. I'm now saving up for a wheel and stand
I don't want to taste this thrill again, because I don't have a wheel anymore, and even worse, I sold my racing sim seat too.
Though my unused Rift could get a purpose again.
I do occasionally some silly GTA racing, and Wreckfest is on my watchlist too. I'd buy Forza Horizons if it wasn't that silly expensive.
Little off-topic, sorry Unikorn, but Assetto Corsa Competizione left early access and its pretty much ready (apart from VR that is very bugged).
In my opinion its a pinnacle of racing sims as far as GT serie is concerned. Laser scanned tracks and cars, tremedous immersive feeling inside of the cars, great physics and sound, dynamic weather, SP/Online/Career mode, in depth tuning. Its incredible. Definitely worth getting if you are serious racing fan, really REALLY play this with proper wheel setup. It has controller/M+K support but - dont bother.

Not sure if I should thank you guys or throw moldy fruit at you, but because of this thread, I had my first interaction with the Microsoft Store yesterday, and I bought Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate xD And it's epic. If anyone is on the fence and has a decent PC, the demo actually is quite in-depth, considering it's a miracle there is a demo at all.

The problem I'm having due to this stupid thread is figuring out a way to convert my little portion of the shared office space into a full on sim racing pit without Mrs. Barron noticing.Not sure if I should thank you guys or throw moldy fruit at you, but because of this thread, I had my first interaction with the Microsoft Store yesterday, and I bought Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate xD And it's epic.

Haha. That's one of the gaming dreams right there.
Hm, a lot of some really nice games here.
This thread has kind of ruined me.
I'm in the middle of the busiest part of the year for my company so not much time for playing games, but the one game I keep coming back to when I do have time is Dirt Rally 2.0. I used to really enjoy racing games in general, but never went beyond playing them casually with a controller, and then ED came along and I stopped playing other games almost completely. This thread kind of got me back into it, and I'm currently saving up for a fairly decent Fanatec based sim setup. I can't indulge this new plan until my season slows a bit in the fall, but when I start putting it all together I'll share some pics here. At any rate, driving sim racers because of this thread has REALLY given me some relief and much needed therapy from some rather rehabilitating anxiety and stress related to work, so thanks for getting it started, Unikorn.
