What Are You Racing This Weekend?

What Are You Racing This Week.jpg
With so many sims offering new or improved content in recent weeks, we want to hear where you are currently spending your sim racing time.

The amount of high-quality sim racing content we have available to us currently could almost be seen as an embarrassment of riches. There isn't enough time in most of our lives to learn and enjoy the abundance of content that we're presented with in our shared hobby.

Continuing our Have Your Say series, we want to hear what content has risen above the rest for you. Amidst the seemingly limitless options, where are you spending your sim racing time these days?

Here are some, though of course not all, of the content options currently grabbing headlines in the sim racing community:

rFactor 2's BTCC

The British Touring Car Championship was supposed to come to us in the form of a complete game, but what we got instead was a DLC offering for rFactor 2. And it is fantastic. Studio 397 seems to have captured the wheel-to-wheel, curb-launching appeal of the series with just two cars and two new tracks.

Automobilista 2's Improved GT and Prototype Cars

Two years after launch, Reiza Studios is still hard at work bring significant updates to AMS2. Among the changes brought to the sim in version 1.3.6.1 were noticeable updates to the tire feel in many of the more popular car classes in the title. GT3, GT4, Porsche Cup and DPi were among the cars affected by these changes, and the community response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Assetto Corsa's Miami International Autodrome

The perpetual stream of content for Assetto Corsa gives us the opportunity to drive the latest cars and tracks making headlines in the real world of motorsport. This was evident recently as RaceDepartment member Pyyer released and updated the Miami International Autodrome Assetto Corsa mod to mirror the real F1 action this past weekend.

Let us know on Twitter @RaceDepartment or in the comments below where you are choosing to spend the majority of your sim racing time this weekend. Whether it's any of the above options, other new cars or tracks, or older sim racing content.

Just got back. Probably Catalunya because of the next F1 race there. Not yet decided for a multiclass with Audi TT/Mazda MX5 or monoclass with Abarth 500/Mazda MX5.

Ouch!! I thought that you would have some rest at least up until Sunday! Have a great weekend anyways

Having some fun with MotoGP 22 Career. It's Actually immersive and fun when you remove my Sim Racing Ego of no Aids , turn on some minimum braking helpers and semi Automatic gears for a while = Addictive Fun.
If anyone was interested, would Recommend getting it half price though from CD keys type website with a Steam Key and using a PS4 or Xbox Controller.

IRL , Bathurst 12 hour starts today at 12 Noon AEST

Racing the family game.

Now, this is funny, I think it can now be counted on a handful, where RD completely independently to my thoughts just moments earlier having posted an article reflecting my thoughts!
Though this time, however, the question should just be reformulated a bit this time of my wondering (but ofcourse I found an RD thread to share my thoughts, some relevant for this topic)

Maybe later some offline GTR2 PnG fun classic mixed race in the Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior @ Montagna di Pietra. Works every time. But have to be carefull about the cobblestone section, big risk of waking the whole house.
Or maybe I should just stick to my wine.

Edit: If modern sims had above mentioned combo updated to their sim engines, I would immediately put the wine glass back at the table again;)
