It's mostly sims, and it's racing rather than driving, but here are things you can try:

>AC
Assetto would be your best shot at getting what you want, because it has everything. It's a mod fiesta, but it has one-click launcher that does all of the modding for you, and then you have access to anything. Comfy big cruise maps, smaller picturesque locations, meme touges, normal race tracks, anything goes. With this amount of content, racing is optional really. 

>rf2
Very subjectively, rF2 is the game that carries through car handling the best, it also doesn't sperg out on smallest contact like assetto does. Modding community is also pretty serious

>ACC
Competizione is probably the only truly next-gen racing vidya [spoiler]current-gen now, since ac and rf2 are both from crysis 1 era[/spoiler], so feel free to give it a shot. Amazing audio design, great visuals, good car feels, but zero mods and only gt3/gt4 car classes

>iRacing
If you're specifically into competition and you want to race others, iRacing is the game that delivers more-or-less serious racing, with 20+ driver big races starting every hour, every day.

>LFS
old little simulator, but you might like it if you're still in 'discovering things' phase. It attempts to simulate things that other sims ignore, in LFS you can burn your clutch, you can (iirc) completely fade your brakes, list goes on. Has surprisingly good VR support, i think it was first sim i've ever seen that had completely jank-free 3d mirrors with depth perception in VR

And Dirt Rally 2 for your rally needs.
