Try out Game Stock Car :
game-stockcar.c...
The good :
-Great physics across the board with no "wtf this thing is junk" vehicles.
-Forgiving but difficult. My gut feeling : this is what a racing sim should drive like because this is how a car drives.
-Stock Cars are awesome.
-Fantastic circuits, most of which aren't the common "you've driven a billion laps here already" variety.
-Sounds.
-Car selection (see below though)
-Looks good (to me)
-AI on proper settings provides a challenging race which makes me push as hard as I would in an online race and doesn't suffer from the "go way slow in that corner" syndrome.
-Modability and tons of addon tracks available, several updated to a higher standard to bring them closer to Reiza's quality versus the standard rFactor conversion.
-Fantastic in the here and now.
The bad :
-No weather (though that is still somewhat of a luxury feature in sim racing, let alone a GOOD weather system)
-Visuals aren't for everyone
-No one outside South America has ever heard of Brazilian Stock Car racing...
-Car selection is too bias towards F1 style cars.
-Track selection doesn't really support F1 cars
-online is pretty much dead outside the club or league setting (though mind you, public servers are almost always messes anyways)
-AI like all AI is dumb on lap 1.
-No automatic steering rotation setting.
-Aging platform means it almost certainly has limited space for improvement though it doesn't necessarily need it right now.
GSC has existed for a while as a series. I was admittedly slow on jumping on the bandwagon with the original versions, it's well and truly become the best out of the box sim with no muss and no fuss.
Physics aren't as impressive as rFactor 2's absolute best... but every car is done well - something I cant say about rF2.
Sounds aren't as good as Raceroom Racing Experience... but they certainly aren't terrible.
Tracks may not have the recognition of many other titles... but that just means I get to learn new tracks, which is fun!
AI might not be as "racy" as Raceroom Racing Experinece... but they are also drive much tidier, which looks and feels a lot more realistic.
Brazilian Stock Cars may not be as high profile as DTM for example... but IDGAF, the cars are tons more fun than a modern DTM car ever could be.
Look - my point is that GSCE is here. It's a thing, it's pretty freakin' good and certainly fun. It's never "outright exceptional mindblowingly amazingly amazing stop the presses this is going to destroy everything on the market", but it almost never fails to put a big ol' smile on my face.
And that, for those who actually read this - is why I suggest GSCE so often, especially to newer sim racers. It's not a mess and it doesn't try to do something it doesn't do - a lesson almost all of the developers in this genre could stand to learn.
Follow me like a stalker! (please dont actually stalk me... duh)
