In fact, it's probably the best there has ever been. While it may not be a perfectly rounded package, its handling model is second-to-none and the driving experience is as purely gripping as anything else in any of these categories. It's hard, and best experienced with a good wheel, but for communicating the sheer thrill and challenge of a car and a course, there's nothing better. See our full Dirt Rally 2. While many don't consider it to be a "full" Gran Turismo game, the series' sole PS4 entry which also features in our best PS4 games list has expanded substantially over time and now boasts many of the solo campaign events and license tests fans love, as well as an impressive car and track list.
But it remains Polyphony Digital's most focused piece of work, and that's not at all a bad thing. The handling is a sublime balance of accessibility and sim-like bite, and the extremely well designed online multiplayer brings the clear rulesets and competitive edge of serious PC titles like iRacing to a more casual and welcoming setting. In short, it's still a GT game, as well as being the best and fairest online multiplayer experience on console - by a long chalk. See our full Gran Turismo Sport review and buy it now from Amazon.
Even if you're new to sims, you'll probably know a little about iRacing: that it's expensive, time consuming, tough. It is also, if you allow it, an all-encompassing take on some of the very best aspects of motorsport. Work your way through the ranks and earn a slot in a team endurance event and you'll be witness to all the camaraderie, excitement - and, yes, crushing disappointment - of the real thing. There's no doubt that some aspects of iRacing are getting a little long in the tooth - and there are certainly better-looking sims out there - but with all those years of experience since the service rolled out well over ten years ago comes a competence that you can't find elsewhere.
Find out what makes iRacing the ultimate driving sim. Kunos Simulazioni offers up two very different experiences - though they're both so good we've cheated and included both.
The original Assetto Corsa might be getting a little long in the tooth, but with a handful of the right mods it can still be the best pure driving game on PC, while Competizione - after a handful of welcome updates - now offers a purebred racing experience that's the measure of iRacing.
When it comes to GT racing - perhaps the healthiest and most diverse form of motorsport right now - it's pretty much peerless.

There's still the sense that rFactor 2 has yet to reach its potential, and that it might be some time until it properly does so - Motorsport Games' acquisition of developer Studio combined with mouthwatering licences such as BTCC and WEC suggests there's plenty to get excited about in the future. For now, though, and for all its little faults, there's no denying the authenticity of rFactor 2's handling, serving up a simulation model like no other.
If you've any interest in pretend race cars, you at least need to take this one out for a spin. Some old problems persist, and a handful of new ones crop up in what's still an occasionally lumpy package, but none of that can hold back this year's F1 game as being the best yet. An all-new story mode, riffing heavily off the overstated drama of Netflix's Drive to Survive, works surprisingly well, and it's matched by decent next-gen versions and a few welcome nips and tucks to the existing racing.
The AI puts up a decent fight, there's a whole season's worth of racing and it all looks impressively authentic - and given we're enjoying a season for the ages in F1 right now, it's fitting that the official game is up there with Geoff Crammond's 90s efforts in being some of the best takes on the sport to date. See our full F1 review and buy it now from Jacamo.
Codemasters will take over the licence for the world's preeminent rallying series from , which should be interesting - but don't think for a minute that it's because the current KT Racing games are substandard. They have the goods where it counts: a beautiful, detailed, hard-edged handling model that is not mucking around and ensures this demanding sport makes for a challenging game, as it should do.
Some other games have attempted to replicate the madness and majesty of the Isle of Man's KT Racing smoothed out some of the bumps for this sequel, while importantly staying true to the bumps and bends of the course itself, making for a racing experience that stands alone and manages to do justice to the great event. It doesn't get a lot of attention or serve up the same sense of drama as Ride on the Edge, but Milestone's long-running licence based on the premier motorcycle racing series is a well-sorted motorsport sim all the same.
The Italian developer has more experience with bike racing than any other developer, and it shows in the fine-tuned handling. The sport itself remains a perfect inspiration for video games, with a sense of precariousness and danger that modern car racing has largely lost.
