New production cars become Project Cars models via CAD (computer-aided design) kits provided by automakers. Going the extra mileīringing that level of detail to the driving experience of specific cars into the game is a time-intensive process. Before long, though, (and thanks in part to some one-on-one coaching from Honda’s Red Bull GRC driver Mitchell DeJong) we’re toying with the throttle, steering inputs, and e-brake to transition the vehicle from one slide to another. It takes us half an hour before we’re even remotely comfortable maintaining a drift. Don’t expect a different situation in Project CARS 2. Unless you’re a pro driver, you can’t jump into a 600-horsepower rallycross car and drive it perfectly. We also tried the game’s new rally driving mode. For now (and it may only be a short time we say this), we prefer an HD monitor to VR. It’s awesome to have every sense immersed in the virtual world, but without crystal clear visuals, it actually takes away from the driving experience. That said, we just don’t think the visual clarity is there yet. When Slightly Mad’s crew straps into their game, they default to VR every time. Visually speaking, we got to play both the standard PC version and VR using an Oculus Rift.

Racing simulators forgo personalization in exchange for hyper-realistic vehicle design and driving dynamics. Check out the list to see what other games we love from the genre.
