We play fast and loose with the definition of 'racing game' here. If it's got wheels, it's fair game. But you'll find these games have one thing in common: they will offer a great driving experience, and they'll feel great when you're behind the wheel.
If you want to take your driving simulation experience to the next level, check out our handy list of the best steering wheels for PC.
With Phil's review of Forza Horizon 5 , he zooms in on the level of refinement that's taken place in the Forza series. No sweeping changes have been made in the newest entry in the series, but a meticulous level of craftsmanship is on display. The Playground team has spent countless hours polishing the hoods of cars until they gleam, and the same is true of the environments in the new setting: Mexico.
The seasonal playlist is present and prominent from the beginning, forming the heart of the gameplay. You'll find yourself taking on unexpected challenges, and utilizing your entire stable of cars in pursuit of new rare additions, as Phil put it: "We've had plenty of looter shooters, but Forza Horizon is slowly turning into the first looter racer.
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.

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 a slow-scrolling top-down enviroment isn't all the interesting. So luckily some intrepid developers found ways to simulate a three-dimensional environment for you to race through, street corners to drift around and ramps to pull off amazing stunts on.
