It is so vast in its options it&#8217;s practically impossible to drive every configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Forza Motorsport\u2019s PC debut marks it as the most feature-heavy and malleable of racing game.\u00a0The addition of dynamic weather effects transforms the usual game of memorising tracks into one of hazard perception and a test of reactions. Night tracks slowly transition to dawn, sunlight filling out pitch black darkness while Forza looks and plays better than ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Old fashioned reward system and a few inconsistent performance problems.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Project CARS 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Format:\u00a0<\/strong>PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Featuring\u00a0180+ elite brand race and road cars Project Cars 2 is another feature rich game. With full 24-hour cycle with real-time atmospheric conditions &amp; seasonal ambience you get a true to life experience.\u00a0Real-world-derived career progression also gives the game purpose where needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong>\u00a0 This one isn&#8217;t great for beginners or casual racers. Due to its hyper-realism prepare to spin out, lose control and go flying into walls.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>iRacing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Format: <\/strong>PC<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong>\u00a0Unfortunately the one downside to this game is that it has no meaningful single-player component. With its subscription fees and live tournament scheduling, it requires significant investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F1 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Format:\u00a0<\/strong>PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, PC (Microsoft Windows + iOS)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:\u00a0<\/strong>F1 2018 is the official video game of the 2018 Formula One World Championship developed and published by Codemasters.\u00a0 It\u2019s a chance to place yourself in the racing boots of a motorsport superstar and engage in rivalries, contract negotiations, car development plans and race strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:\u00a0<\/strong>The race overlays can be overwhelming, even on the novice difficulty settings.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>GRID Autosport<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Format:\u00a0<\/strong>Android, Nintendo Switch, iOS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC (Microsoft Windows, macOS)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:\u00a0<\/strong>Autosport is Codemasters&#8217; easiest, most entry-level track racing game. The car handling is very forgiving, but with just enough fight in it to teach you the basics of corner-braking and throttle-control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons: <\/strong>The AI, meanwhile, is surprisingly effective, driving fast, pushing you on the corners, and capitalising on every error or loss of nerve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a time when we are not supposed to leave our house, what is a car fanatic supposed to do?
