10 best pc racing games
Absolutely, let's rev up the discussion on PC racing games and the gear that adds an extra layer of immersion.
1. Racing Wheels:
- For the ultimate racing experience, a racing wheel is a game-changer. Brands like Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec offer a range of wheels with force feedback, responsive pedals, and realistic steering.
2. Controllers:
- If a full racing wheel setup is too much, traditional controllers like Xbox or PlayStation controllers work well with many racing games on PC. However, dedicated racing enthusiasts often prefer the precision of a wheel.
3. Accessories:
- Accessories like racing seats, gear shifters, and pedal sets can enhance the overall racing simulation experience. Some even come with built-in vibrations to simulate the feel of different road surfaces.
4. PlayStation Compatibility:
- Many racing wheels and accessories designed for PlayStation are compatible with PC. However, it's essential to check compatibility to ensure seamless integration.
5. Legacy Systems:
- Classic racing games from legacy systems often have dedicated communities and emulators on PC. Connecting classic controllers or even using adapters for legacy racing wheels can provide a nostalgic gaming experience.
6. Popular Racing Games:
- The world of PC racing games is vast, ranging from realistic simulations to arcade-style fun. Titles like "Assetto Corsa," "Project CARS," "Forza Horizon," and "Dirt Rally" offer diverse racing experiences catering to various preferences.
7. Graphics and Performance:
- PC racing games often shine in terms of graphics and performance. High-end PCs can handle stunning visuals, realistic weather effects, and smooth gameplay, elevating the overall racing experience.
8. Online Multiplayer:
- Many racing games on PC offer robust online multiplayer modes. Competing against real players adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement, making each race unique.
9. Modding Community:
- The PC gaming community, known for its creativity, has a thriving modding scene for racing games. Players create custom cars, tracks, and even gameplay tweaks, allowing for endless customization and variety.
10. VR Integration:
- Virtual Reality (VR) adds a new dimension to PC racing games.Some titles support VR headsets, providing an immersive experience where you can look around the cockpit as if you were actually in the driver's seat.
Whether you're into realistic simulations or prefer the thrill of arcade-style racing, PC gaming offers a wide array of options to satisfy your need for speed. So, buckle up and hit the virtual track!

NASCAR Racing Season 2003 brings the intensity, grit, and roaring sound of NASCAR to the PC. This 2003 incarnation of Sierras 10-year old series is once again built by Papyrus, the first name in racing simulation fidelity. It doesnt disappoint.
NASCAR Racing Season 2003 features 23 venues including all the real-world tracks in the Winston Cup series, every major driver, and all the licensing NASCAR is famous for. Theres advertising everywhere, from M&Ms to Cingular Wireless and AOL, but that only makes the game look more realistic.
True to the NASCAR Racing legacy, this isnt an arcade racing game. You can crank the realism settings up and expect to race in all the qualifying rounds to determine your place in the opening pack for the race itself. You can set the physics to perfectly model the real world, where you have to fight your car every step of the way. Set the AI to maximum and youll have to battle for every inch of track space. You can even tweak the tire pressure and brakes, and set how your pit crew behaves. Its a race fan and grease monkeys dream come true. Less hardcore fans have the option of dialing down the realism settings. You can add a green line to the track showing the ideal route, let the computer help you with traction, steering, and braking, and even set unlimited fuel and unbreakable cars. Admirably, Papyrus puts you in charge of your NASCAR experience.
The graphics are decent, better than last season but behind the curve when compared with other games. Cars look good up close, and the sense of speed is extremely realistic. The sun glints in your windshield and the smoke effects are impressive. But farther way, even at the highest detail settings, there are problems with shimmering and jagged lines around cars and objects. The audio is perfect, from the pit crew giving advice to the roar of the engines; its all very convincing.
NASCAR may look like a crowd of cars all turning left but in reality its split second timing, daring, and skill. It's not easy riding an oval for 20-200 laps at high speed with little margin for error, or passing a crowd of 10 two-ton vehicles all hurtling along in excess of 170MPH. This game perfectly shows just how hard NASCAR racing can be. One word of caution before you get the green light: the keyboard or a game pad will let you play reasonably well, but youll never take the checkered flag without a good force feedback steering wheel. --Bob Andrews
Pros:
- Fun NASCAR racing for both beginners and experts
- The best racing simulation on the market
- Some long distance graphics flaws
- Confusing menus and interface
User questions & answers
Question: | will this game work on the new windows |
Answer: | Yes you may the bumpers and triggers to the additional paddles and shoulder buttons |
Question: | Will this game work with Windows 7, 64 bit |
Answer: | Sadly, no, they do not make this wireless. They do not want any competition with the Xbox Elite and the Xbox Elite Two controllers. The CLOSEST that actually resembles this -that IS wireless- is the Fusion brand, which is not great- breaks too easily. |
Question: | Will this software work on new windows systems |
Answer: | -No headset adapter. -Ultimate Edition has four buttons on the back-middle; TE has two paddles, back right and back left. -Both have two extra shoulder buttons on the top. If you play on PC and have dedicated headphones/mic then the headset adapter doesn't matter. I have the ultimate and there were quite a few games where I had no need for six extra buttons. Four would have been fine. I'd say go with TE for sure if you're on PC. |
Question: | What Operorating Systems will this software work on |
Answer: | NO! While this controller lets you reassign only 6 of its buttons, they can only be assigned to other standard Xbox inputs. The other answer on this question is wrong. When using this controller on PC It will NOT allow you to assign keyboard keys or mouse movement to the (only) 6 remappable buttons or analog sticks. That said, while the controller has 6 extra buttons over standard controllers, they are mechanically duplicated in the controller's hardware and can only be used to echo buttons already on the controller. It is impossible to assign any new functionality. It's also worth noting, that unlike the Xbox Elite Controller, the Razer Wolverine ONLY accepts button reassignments to its 6 extra buttons, and the standard controls are non-customizable. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Do you have to use the pedals or can you just use the wheel for gt sport on ps |
Answer: | Yes works just fine in Windows 10. |
Question: | How to use serafim gaming wheel and pedals to play ios/android racing games |
Answer: | That's my operating system, and the game works great on it. I didn't do anything except load it and run. Even after all these years, still a great simulator! |
Question: | How can I connect the buttons, throttle, and pedals to my iPhone |
Answer: | It should work. I have 3 copies of this simulation and it's hands down the greatest NASCAR simulation ever put on disc for the public. With the many downloads that update tracks, sounds and authenticity right down to safer barriers this sim delivers. It's a shame that the talent from Papyrus and Sierra are no longer producing this legendary series of NASCAR sims. Bottom line, I have not used NR2003 with windows 7, 8 or 8.1 but the physics and realism would be worthy of having a rig running XP if you're serious enough and want this for it is truly the best there is. I have a $1,000 simulator set up just for NR2003 in my basement collecting dust. I don't know if a community still exists. A true shame. Sorry I couldn't answer with certainty but I had to share enthusiasm. Good luck. |
Question: | How to connect the xbox one/switch/ps4/ps3 to this steering wheel |
Answer: | I have seen it work on all Windows OS's from Win95 thru Win7. I know of people running it on some MAC OS's (don't remember which ones however) and also on Win8 and 8.1. You will have to "tweak" each OS to get it to run properly sometimes... just like all games. |

Review
Australian developer Ratbag is best known for its work on Powerslide. Released in the final weeks of 1998, the game featured fun-to-drive cars and inventive tracks riddled with sharp banks, tall drops, and long jumps. Powerslide was defined by its tracks, as they served to set it apart from the glut of racing games that clogged the genre during the early part of 1999. However, there was one track in the game that was simply dull and uninspired by comparison: the oval. While this straightforward track was meant to familiarize you with the feel of the car and the general play mechanics of the game, it lacked any depth or substance. With Dirt Track Racing, Ratbag has focused an entire game around the simple concept of racing around this same small, oval track.
The tracks in Dirt Track Racing can be characterized in three words: oval, dirt, and small. They range in variety from regular ovals, to D-ovals, to the occasional figure eight. All said, the game has approximately 30 of these unimaginative racetracks scattered across a number of states throughout the US. And while the nature of dirt-track racing (this motorsport actually exists) calls for these sorts of uneventful tracks, translating them into a computer game makes them lose whatever real-life appeal they might have.
However, once you get past this glaring shortcoming, Dirt Track Racing actually becomes a robust racing game, complete with a functional money system, accurate car-handling characteristics, varying traction, and a variety of customizable cars. The game's career mode is split up into stock, pro-stock, and late-model car classes. You start out in the stock class with $1,000 in your account to buy your first car and pay entry fees for your first series, which is a set of racing events aimed at one of the three car classes. The events in each series are in turn made up of practice, qualifying, heat, and main races. To gain prize money and corporate sponsors for necessary car upgrades, repairs, and event entry fees, you must successfully work your way through these series, ultimately earning enough money to buy a car in a higher class and making you eligible to compete in successively tougher series.
The cars' physics are overexaggerated to maximize the effects of powersliding, oversteering, and countersteering that define Dirt Track Racing's gameplay. The basic premise is to "slide" through turns in order to keep the speed of your car and engine revolutions as high as possible when coming out of that turn. As stock cars gain horsepower through engine modifications, this powersliding technique becomes even more exaggerated, leaving little room for error. With power topping over 800hp, pro stock and late model cars require an even steadier hand during cornering. Thankfully, the game lets you tweak and upgrade your suspension setup to your liking, making the cars a bit more forgiving. Just like Powerslide before it, Dirt Track Racing takes some getting used to, but you'll be able to take the cars to their limits once you get acquainted with the game's handling dynamics.
Dirt Track Racing is also the first game to mimic the development of the "groove" effect associated with the sport. Before the start of each event, the track is watered down to give the dirt better traction. As the cars start to run laps around the track, a groove forms along the best driving line, causing that part of the track to become drier than the parts not worn down by the cars. Driving along the groove becomes progressively more difficult after each lap, as the dry dirt lacks the traction that it had at the start of the race. This forces you to either drive high along the outside of the groove or low on the inside of the track. It's certainly an effect that hasn't been attempted in previous racing games, and it adds a new facet to an established genre.
The game is powered by the same engine used by Powerslide. Long, streaking textures on the track and along the walls give a great sense of speed to Dirt Track Racing. The cars themselves are fairly detailed, and the sun-worn paintjobs and chipped sponsor logos lend more realism to the cars' appearance. Improvements in the engine include the ability it gives you to play the game from a 3D cockpit view, and the incorporation of a damage model that affects your car's aesthetics. However, unlike in Powerslide, Dirt Track Racing has no soundtrack whatsoever, leaving you to contend with nothing but the droning of the cars' big block engines.
A robust multiplayer component lets you and nine others compete over a LAN or through an Internet connection. The game even comes with a lite version of Gamespy for easy sorting of active servers. But even with all of Dirt Track Racing's finer points, it's hard to overlook its repetitive tracks and racing events. Despite the fact that the game accurately captures the nature of the sport it portrays, Dirt Track Racing ends up being a robust racing-management system broken up by boring races.

Question: | Does this game run on Windows |

There're 2 modes to use for playing mobile racing games. 1st Mode: Use phone holder to settle your mobile phone on the racing wheel, and you can enjoy your favorite mobile racing games with steering wheel.
