With exclusive insight from Slightly Mad Studios co-founder Ian Bell, we dive into the tumultuous history of Project CARS.
The third one was the best racing game in years. You can make it as realistic or arcade as you like, with tons of options to meet the performance points for each race. The graphics were great on PS5, running at 60 FPS 1440p on quality mode, it was certainly good enough. It was a lot like the Forza games, just more flexible in its sim and arcade options to cater the game to how you wanted to play, it's absolutely criminal how this game was trashed by losers who didn't get it and wanted to hate on it.

Don't worry, the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is here and between the 12th-18th May 2020 there are a whole host of newly discounted titles available for Xbox gamers to get hold of, with a huge focus on the very best racers out there - games like Project CARS for instance."

Motorstorm, Wipeout, Forza, GT, Mario Kart... all of them are near and dear to me. I'd add some Sega Arcade ones as honorable mentions. Outrun, Super GT and of course DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAA
Honestly, a hidden gem just released - Wreckfest!
It's the most fun you can have with your pants on!
I can't sing this masterpiece's praises enough. I've had more fun with it than any other racing game I can remember, and I've played them all.
We need to support smaller developers like this. The game has been in alpha stages for years so it's unbelievably polished, and it gets regular patches. I still haven't encountered any serious glitches.

My Personal list in order
1.Burnout Revenge(Xbox360)
2. Forza Horizon 4(X1)
3. Forza Horizon 3(X1)
4. Need for Speed hot Pursuit2 (PS2)
5. CruisnWorld(N64)
6. Project Gotham Racing 3(Xbox360)
7. RalliSport Challenge 2(Xbox360)
8. Crusin USA(N64)
9. Rage Racer(PSX)
10. Dirt 2(Xbox360)
Special shout out to Need for Speed the Run, I still play that now and then love the cannonball style of racing but it had faults like real time button mashing in the story outside of the car and it was way too short.
I enjoyed the early Gran Turismo games but I decided to leave off Sim racing from my list since I have been really turned off when you buy a game and know every corner of a track before your first race.
Also left out racing with weapons games. I did love Blur.
Need for speed underground was my favorite need for speed, the one that was a launch title on 360. I loved the game and the gameplay, soundtrack, customization were all great but nice list. I never got the hype for the burnout series but I know alot of people love it.
I find it funny that NFS HP2 on the PS2 is better than the xbox version. That is a rarity for an inferior system to have the superior version. Good choice though, its fun AF.
I'd pick PGR4 over 3 though because of bikes. But that's me.
Diff team made the xbox version. Yea it was bad in comparison. I went with 3 cause I played it more than 4 though if I remember correctly 4 was like a remastered version of 3 with more stuff.

bull. shouldn't it be separated into different categories? arcade games shouldn't be compared to sim games.
what a stupid list
GT Sport is the best competitive racer of them all. yet it's not on this stupid list. lol
features? they are totally two different games. one is for couch gaming and the other is a highly competitive online, worldwide racing sim.
like i said they need to make more than one list for racing games.
GT Sport is has the best organized racing and is for the serious racing fan.
everything else can't compare https://youtu.be/erCwEGSw9l...
it's on another level https://youtu.be/erCwEGSw9l...
OK but that doesn't translate into being a more fun game..
I tried playing online in sport mode by following the "etiquette". First turn I get slammed and knocked out of the track by the same racer who won the race, where's the fun in that?
Sport is a great Sim, but what made GT great was a combination of both, its still a video game at the end of the day.
IMO GT6 is a better game than Sport, and they even use the same physics engine.
@2pacalypsenow: sorry to hear that you stopped short on a turn and was penalized for it.
but that's my whole point, it's for serious racing. not people that stop short and then blame the game for their lack of racing knowledge.
a little practice and you can learn to avoid penalties like that.
GT 6 was good for its time but is dated and not as good in the physics and online play.
but, you like what you like and play what you play so.
blaming the game for your short comings is always the excuse used for sim racing games.
oh and racing on a track with other great racers is fun. who ever told you it wasn't?
@sampsonon
"it's for serious racing. not people that stop short and then blame the game for their lack of racing knowledge."
So me getting slammed by another person going 60mph on a turn and using me as a wall to slow down is my fault?
@2pacalypsenow that is your side of the story. I'm sure the other person was like " jesus! doesn't guy know how to take turns? stopping f ing short. i hate noobs."
plus you do know they have a drivers rating right? so if you suck at driving you race with other people that suck at it as well. when you race clean your sportsmanship rating goes up and you are matched with other drivers that have the same rating or around the same rating as you. so i just don't get the shit that is coming out of you right now.
learn something https://youtu.be/sI8Ssiltve...
or
go play need for speed or forza and leave sim racing to people that can race or at least strives to race better.
That crap racer that cant save without internet or that the physical edition does not as the full release. LMAO.
MS has a full championship league? cause that's what makes GT Sport special.
does F7 have rewind?
