Speed, our driving skills, driving the best cars on the circuits we have always dreamed of ... All this is within the reach of our PC if we know how to choose good hardware options as well as videogames and peripherals, that is why we want to bring you one Good selection.
We are going to tell you which are the best car games for PC of all kinds, put yourself to the test on the best circuits and with the best cars. Only then can you demonstrate your skills safely and above all, much cheaper. Racing video games have always been a hit on PC and will continue to be for many reasons.
Arcade car games
We are going to start with the "easiest" genre and the one that will give us more interesting graphic capabilities. If we want to have a good time playing and do not want to complicate ourselves too much, running at high speeds is much easier if we use arcade games. These are our options:
Dirt 4
Dirt is a video game franchise that has always been around to demonstrate skills in a more hostile environment. Obviously we are talking about rally cars, where this video game brings out its special characteristics and will leave you amazed with its graphic capabilities in these car games.
We find a medium difficulty but a clear index of "arcade" in the game, it will make it difficult enough for us to be a challenge, but we will not get lost in technicalities or skills that we will not be able to achieve with a simple control (we can ignore the use of steering wheel and pedals).
This game has a powerful online community that is continually launching new challenges and trophies in which you can participate, this is also important for once we have achieved all the challenges that the game proposes us in its «offline» version.
Forza Horizon 4
We go directly to a video game owned by Microsoft and that is present both on PC and on its video game platform. This time we have a delivery that offers us an open world to circulate with our vehicles and choosing the following objectives that best suit us according to each mission.
Obviously we find some less powerful skill requirements, but instead we enjoy a remarkable graphic quality, in addition to the possibility of installing some MODs to suit the consumer. The game allows us to compete with rivals or relax walking with our favorite vehicles, Depending on how you are in the mood that day, you will choose the best car game.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Heat
These two alternatives are found within the emblematic Need for Speed saga that was born within the tunning universe that lurked everywhere in the early 2000s. In this case, we offer you two alternatives.
We find well-recreated cars in both Hot Pursuit and Heat, with similar purposes in open worlds with street circuits, best cars and very interesting police chases. In this case, the level of demand is quite low for car games and any resemblance to reality in terms of physics will be mere chance, the arcade par excellence.
Car simulation games
We move on to the most cumbersome terrain, where the limits of skills and realism meet, we talk about simulation. We recommend that for some of these video games you have a steering wheel and pedals, which will help you achieve more deserving times. We remember that these video games are intended to offer an experience that is as realistic as possible.
Project CARS 3
We start with the third edition of Project CARS, a saga that has always been characterized by offering very realistic sensations from the motor world with a particularly good vehicle catalog.
We have skill settings that allow us to enjoy the game in all circumstances, something that makes it extensible to all types of users. It has, among other things, weather changes in real time, interaction with the vehicle's settings and various game modes that will give you hours and hours of fun on the slopes.
Assetto Corsa Competizione
We continue to advance in the world of «simracing», now with Assetto Corsa Competizione. This edition is licensed under the Blackpain GT Series, where we will see the most typical races that have always made you vibrate through television, along with their official drivers, teams and vehicles.
It has a graphics engine (Unreal Engine 4) which makes it extremely realistic if we accompany it with a flyer. Undoubtedly one of the first options to start in this world with a very balanced and interesting experience that you may not want to miss.
iRacing
We are getting serious in the simulation, here you have little or nothing to do if you do not have a good steering wheel and the rest of the accessory elements to this type of simulation video games. It has official licenses such as the 24h of Le Mans, Indicate or Nascar. It is the favorite simulator even for Formula 1 drivers.
It has a very serious online community, quite strict rules and you will need real knowledge at a technical level to be able to get the most out of it that the video game offers you, otherwise you will not be able to compete in serious terms with other rivals, and that is because this video game is primarily intended to compete against the community, where honestly, you will always find someone better than you.
RFactor 2
We continue with another almost professional simulator, a proposal that can get quite uphill for the most casual players, so once again I emphasize that it is designed for gamers with a steering wheel and accessory elements that make it as similar as possible to real driving. We have in this case a good graphic performance and some fewer licenses than in the case of the previous ones.
For its part, we have weather changes that can frustrate us, technical and mechanical knowledge to tune up the car and much more. It also has an online mode that is quite rich in an interesting community and where we're going to be able to really test our skills.
Now it's time to have some car races
And these are ultimately our proposals for the best car video games to be able to take a few races and get the most out of our PC, thus putting our driving skills to the test where you are sure to feel like a real driver, and that is in To a greater or lesser extent, what these video games seek is always to have fun.
Most of the games exhibited here also have a version for PlayStation or Xbox in the current model, although especially the simulators are more focused on PCs, perhaps somewhat demanding with the hardware, so we recommend that you always keep an eye on the requirements.
