Stinky sim racer here; a few other things that should be mentioned

>AC
Goes on sale a bunch. Still has a sizeable modding community behind it letting you drive almost any car you can think of. Great for offline driving and racing against AI, but online is almost entirely nordschleife tourist, monza, and spa. Do not expect high quality multiplayer racing at all unless you find a league.

>ACC
Probably the best game for GT3/GT4 racing. Game looks and sounds great but runs pretty rough. Be prepared to drop your graphics settings a fair bit to keep a playable framerate. Online racing is better than old AC but be prepared to do a lot of monza and spa unless you do the daily ranked race or join a league.

>rF2 
By far the best tire model out of every current sim but multiplayer pretty much only exists in leagues.

>iRacing
Your best option for actual clean online racing if you don't want to find a league, as well as being pretty much the only game where you will find populated online oval racing and multiclass racing. Game is expensive as fuck though, requiring you to pay both a subscription and for $10-15 each for cars and tracks. "Special event" races are ran throughout the year, in which real world races are recreated at full race distance and include things like the Daytona 500, Bathurst 12 Hr, 24 Hrs of Le Mans, Nürburgring 24 Hr, and the Indy 500 (which is currently happening this weekend)

>Dirt Rally
Pretty much the only modern rally game with vr support.

>RaceRoom
Fun game that features some cars and tracks you won't find in other games. Great AI and somewhat okay online population. However the game is pretty single core performance dependent, as well as using a kinda confusing f2p monetization system.


F1 2022 will also finally bring VR support to that game series if F1 is your thing.
