4. Assetto Corsa Competizione
Assetto Corsa Competizione, being produced by Italian company Kunos Simulazioni, is a more accurate simulation than other games on this list thanks to its laser scanned tracks and dynamic weather system. “The impressive physics engine makes each car feel unique when driving it around the track – even down to tire wear! One of my favorite racing games so far”, Grace assures.
Players also get access to real-world racing series like Blancpain GT Series and British GT Championship which adds another layer of realism to your races. Definitely the position worth trying!
5. Project Cars 2
Last but not least, the automotive-themed game to try in 2023 is Project Cars 2.
