Top 3 simcars

I'm always interested to see which sim cars in general that people feel really "nailed it" in terms of how a car handles. I think you don't necessarily have to have driven an F1 or Indycar to have an opinion that it feels realistic as I doubt anyone who regularly plays sims has ever driven them.

My top 3 (I'm only going to mention RF2 cars but feel free to stray to other sims)

1. Dallara DW12. I could drive this thing for days...not well, but for days.

2. Ferrari Challenge. Just incredible to drive. This car at Road America or Suzuka is a blast.

3. Nissan GTR. This games version actually makes me feel nervous behind the wheel. Godzilla indeed.

Look forward to hearing others favorites to see if I am missing anything. There are a few cars that I felt are just awful but I want to hear about the good and not the bad so I only listed my 3 favs.

 

In no particular order:

1) SuperV8 (AMS)
2) Nissan GT-R (RF2)
3) Ford Escort MK1 RS1600 (AC)

All 3 have made me feel "alive" in their own individual ways

 

1. Apex mod

2. Formula isi

3. Flat 6

4. All the historic stuff

 

1. Megane Trophy (ISI) - due to online racing did MANY miles! THIS is how a modern race car feels (should feel)!! Tyres spot on!

2. Corvette GT 2 (ISI) - This is how a GT-car should drive/feel imo! But: only one tyre that has simply too much wear. 24 hour-race with this tyre anyone? LOL

3. F1, F2, F3 historic stuff feels just damn right!

4. Nissan GTR GT1 (ISI) - yeah baby! Subscribed! But again those tyres! Why no medium/hard component that last long enough? Tyre wear is in my opinion ridiculous unrealistic.....
What do they race in real life? 10 laps, or what?

 

Super V8 - AMS
Formula Classic - AMS
DW12 - rF2

 

ISI Camaro for a modern GT
ISI Cobra for a historic GT (could have been a Howston G4 but it has not been updated )
ISI Skip Barber (National) for an OW

 

My top 3:
GT2 Corvette (ISI)
Megane Trophy (ISI)
Formula Vee (AMS)

Honourable mentions:
Formula Classic (AMS)
GTR Nissan (ISI)
Spark F3 (ISI)
Any GT3 (R3E)

 

Formula Retro (AMS)

Vintage Supercars (AC)

Maverick (rF2) - Distant third and only because Lester ; G4/G6 will replace it if/when updated ; 60s formula cars could replace it also but will probably be second to AMS 60s F1, especially if AMS 60s F1 is released before rF2 60s formula updated

 

1. AC Cobra (rF2)
2. Honda NSX (rF2)
3. F1 Historic (rF2)

 

1. Flat 6
2. ASR 92 F1
3. APEX Gt-3

 

These are my go to sim cars:

1. Celica GTO (rF2)
2. Skip Barber (rF2)
3. Lola T280 (rF2)
4. Howston G4/6 (rF2)

And some others:

Ferrari 312 (GPL)
Ford Escort 1600 (AC)
BMW 320 GR (RRRE)

 

I would add the cobra and dissenter and the historics. All from ISI

 

For the current generation my picks would be (in no particular order)

GT2 Corvette (ISI)
URD PX (rF2 version)
Formula Renault 2.0 (iRacing)

All time favorites in order

F2000 (netKar pro)
Euduracers (rF1)
CTDP F1-2005 (rF1)

 

1979 F1 mod (RF1) the reason I bought RFactor1
Historics (Howstons, BT20, F3s) RF2
Single seaters in general (RF2)

 

Ginetta G55 GT4 - AC
Megane - rF2
Nissan 370Z GT4 - rF2

 

1. Historic F2 Spark (rf2)
2. Nissan GTR (rf2)
3. Historic F1 Spark (rf2)

4. Renault F3.5 (rf2)
