BathurstĪustralia’s most famous track is here in all of its glory. It’s a lovely little club circuit, something that comes up a lot on this list. Mores is an entertaining short circuit, which makes the most of the terrain around it to create an awesome short circuit. There’s also a similarly challenging karting circuit if you want to try your hands at karting while you’re there. Get ready to push any car to its absolute limit around here. This track is a lot of fun with challenging corners made even more challenging by camber and gradient. You have a fast superspeedway oval, a tricky and flat interior road course, and a “roval” that uses about half of each. Apple Valley Speedwayīased off of Auto Club in Fontana, you have three layouts at your disposal for this track. It takes a lot of guts and a bit more than talent to master your racecraft around this track. This is a very technical track with a figure-eight layout and a lot of camber in the corners. Alaharma – Available as KartSim Alaharma or as a part of KartSim Esports Pack To succeed, you need to be able to make the most of your sliding and bouncing around the kerbs. The Tracks Adria Karting Raceway – Available as KartSim Adria or as part of KartSim Esports PackĪdria is a swift blast where you push your kart to the absolute limit. Whilst most of these tracks can be found either on the Studio 397 website or the Steam storefront, others are available through the Steam workshop. In this article, we explore these tracks in a little bit more depth. While many of these are mods, there is a wealth of tracks available either through the base game or paid DLC. But i'd vastly prefer more actual race cars in GT.RFactor 2 is known for its massive variety of tracks. In games like Forza Horizon where the aim is not to portray actual motorsports they should include more road cars. I wish they added my Nissan Qashqai as well because it'd be a novelty but i'd know that it would be an absolute dog to drive round a track. You don't really see serious racing leagues for the average cars on the general roads. They have characteristics that make them suitable for on-track competition. These cars get tuned and re-built for racing for real-life racing competitions. Examples are the VW Golf, Suzuki Swift, Mazda MX5, Mini Cooper S, Toyota Corolla, etcetera. There's obviously lots of road cars that have some racing DNA and games like GT7 pretty much always include them. And no customization possible is going to make your mom's Renault Twingo into a capable racer. There's novelty in driving your own car on a track in a game, but that novelty is gone in three laps tops. They are not made for racing and as such perform terribly in a motorsports competition. It's simply because it makes no sense to take 95% of these vehicles to the track. You don't see these cars in actual real-life motorsports either (aside from a few exceptions like the awesome Dacia Duster entering the 24h Nurburgring competition a few months ago).

I feel most road cars generally have very little purpose in a pure racing game. So I guess my point is - is the idea of starting with an old rustbucket and tuning it and working your way up a dead idea in racing games? Is the novelty of 'driving your IRL car' that Gran Turismo 2 captured so well lost forever? This isn't just a sim thing either - Forza Horizon and The Crew might have some of these more basic cars, but they don't really expect you to actually drive them, instead starting you with sports cars and showering you with supercars right off the bat.

Assetto Corsa mods might be the exception, but even then the vast majority of the popular ones are race car-based. Looking at upcoming games, Le Mans Ultimate is obviously a WEC licensed game so is race cars only, and both Rennsport and GTRevival have only shown off race cars so far in their announcements.

On the sim side, ACC and F1 are licensed racing series games, 99% of the cars in iRacing, Automobilista 2, rFactor 2, Raceroom etc are purpose-built racecars, and all of the Car Pass cars in Forza are high-end hypercars or race cars. One of the cars is a Suzuki Jimny, and the fanbase's reaction to it has been pretty much 'who would want to drive that?' and 'we want more race cars'.īut when you think about it deeper, nobody in the genre is really committed to the road car as an idea any more.

What brought this to my mind was the recent Gran Turismo update teaser.
