So I've been on a hiatus from racing games for practically a decade now and I'm looking to get back into them; however, I don't know where to start. The last racing games that I played and remember enjoying were Gran Turismo 4 and Leadfoot: Stadium Off-Road Racing. Something in the same vein of those 2 games would be great, i.e. car customization, cars that actually feel and drive like cars, sim-like but not too sim-like, and various types of racing (rally, track, supercar, etc.). If it helps narrow it down, I tried out the GRID 2 demo and was immediately put off of it by how arcade-like the driving felt.

Thanks, duders!

Not that huge into racing games myself but from the sound of it here on giant bomb iRacing.com is a still pretty popular within the giant bomb community and other codemasters games like the F1 games and Dirt are pretty good.

Project cars comes to mind.

Dirt series? Next Car Game, iracing, Project cars will be the next big PC racing game comes out this year.

Grid Autosport is coming out on the 24th of this month, which should hopefully do everything you just said.

Thank you all for the suggestions!
