I mean that has licensed tracks and cars that you can modify in stupid fun ways? The last time I played Gran Tuismo was on a PS3 and I played it so much.

I have purchased a few games over the years, Project cars 1-3, Asetto corsa, Forza Horizon, The Crew 2… all of them were interesting in some ways, but I just miss grabbing a boring car and modding it to stupid power levels and racing it at Laguna seca for example.

    BeamNG actually ticks all these boxes, as much as it’s known as the crashy smashy game. Every component of the car can be swapped out, including everything from body panels to engine components, to suspension and tires.

    The tuning is also incredibly in-depth and even more so once you start getting into the modding scene, which is huge.

    If this isn’t already a staple of your library, I can’t recommend it enough.

      I’ll also add here, you can buy a second game, automation - the car company tycoon game.

      This allows you to build your own cars and export them to play with in beamNg. I personally like building drag cars and seeing what times I can get in a quarter mile.

        Not to self advertise, but I run multi-player servers for Motor Town, as well as BeamNG (using the BeamMP mod), and other games. So if you want to learn/play with someone who knows the ropes, in a server that doesn’t expect you to immediately know everything, in a casual environment, that’s what I try to provide for these games :)

        If interested I can drop server names

          I may DM you when I get going. I’ve got a busy weekend coming up but I want to pick a game and get going.
