My conclusion is that iRacing Arcade should not automatically be treated as the same uncompromising simulator as the main iRacing. It is better viewed as a racing game where you can easily sample a broad range of categories. I checked the menus and tracks, then tried FIAT 500 CHALLENGE, 911 GT3 CUP, TOURING CAR, FORMULA GP, GTP, LMP2, FORMULA JUNIOR, and Time Attack. However, this evidence alone cannot confirm a PS5 release, the currently supported platforms, pricing, or the complete car and track roster.
Is iRacing, PC sim racing’s benchmark, the closest you can get to real racing? Drawing on 360 videos, I look at the subscription model and getting started, the strict iRating / SR system, its exceptionally demanding tyre behaviour, coverage from rallycross to F1, and a recommended CSL DD setup.
Based on insights from 444 Picar Channel videos, I examine whether Gran Turismo Sport, the predecessor to GT7, is still worth playing in 2026. This expanded guide covers full PSVR support, Thrustmaster optimization, real-world technique practice such as heel-and-toe, and the new-car lineup from Update 1.34.
Based on 783 Picar Channel videos, I examine whether Gran Turismo 7 (GT7) remains the pinnacle of simcade racing in 2026. This expanded guide covers the 1.31–1.55 update history, official support for the DD Pro / DD Extreme / G PRO, a real-world BRZ comparison in PSVR2, the surprising depth of DualSense, and where it sits alongside Forza, iRacing, and AC EVO.
In the world of racing simulators, rFactor 2 has held a special place for years thanks to its realism and depth. Despite launching more than a decade ago, it has continued to evolve through frequent updates—and its experience is often described as being almost like driving a real car. […]
The appeal of Assetto Corsa EVO is not that it makes driving a car difficult, but that it lets you feel the work of the tires, suspension, and electronic controls through the wheel. After continuing to test multiple versions, I found that its already impressive vehicle behavior has been joined by expanding progression and car variety through updates. That said, a version still in development cannot be judged by the same standards as a finished release. This article brings together like-for-like comparisons with GT7, first drives of new cars, and beta testing to clarify the strengths and caveats I can see right now.
