In this part of the video, the creator introduces their top 5 SIM racing games for beginners in 2023, emphasizing the key criteria: good physics, graphics, an easy starting point, and strong online features. The video starts by discussing iRacing, which is highly praised for its realism, diverse car roster, and robust online racing system. However, it is only ranked fifth due to its high cost, as users need to pay for a subscription and purchase cars and tracks separately, which can become expensive. iRacing is recommended for those with proper SIM racing hardware and is available on PC.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses “Assetto Corsa” and “Automobilista 2.” They highlight that “Assetto Corsa” has excellent driving physics and a massive fan base that keeps the game alive through modding support, allowing the addition of new cars, tracks, and features. Despite being affordable, it requires players to use mods to fully enjoy its potential, and its online servers are not the best for ranked racing.
The speaker then talks about “Automobilista 2,” developed by the Brazilian team Riser and built on the “Project Cars 2” foundation. The game is praised for its detailed physics and unique inclusion of South American racing series. Its AI racing and career mode offer an excellent single-player experience, though its online lobbies are still problematic and bug-ridden.

In this segment, the speaker discusses two racing simulators: Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa Competizione. The speaker notes that Gran Turismo 7, available only on PlayStation, serves as an excellent entry point for those new to sim racing, especially for those without a gaming PC and advanced racing hardware. Despite some flaws, GT7 offers plenty of entertainment through its various modes. The speaker also mentions that getting a sim racing wheel is beneficial due to the game’s improved force feedback and driving physics.
Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) is highlighted as the top choice for starting with sim racing, praised for its realistic graphics, laser-scanned tracks, and accurate car data. The game runs on Unreal Engine 4 and is the official game of the GT World Challenge, making it suitable for real-world drivers to prepare for races. Unlike its predecessor, ACC lacks mod support, which simplifies online play. The game has a strong online presence with a solid competition system and ranking system, though its limited roster of cars and tracks is noted as a downside.

In this part of the video, GT3 racing is highlighted as the primary focus in ACC (Assetto Corsa Competizione), with GT4 cars playing a minor role. The speaker explains that GT3 cars are a great choice for beginners in sim racing because they are fast, come from a variety of manufacturers, and are easy to drive but challenging to master. The video invites viewers to share their opinions and suggests checking another video with basic training tips for ACC. The segment concludes with the speaker thanking viewers and signing off.
