The constant free updates are great but the perpetual EA is a mixed bag.
I mostly race on ACC and AC LFM races, as well as Beamng and WRC 10 which i all thoroughly enjoy.
For $30 you get the best consumer-real-time-soft-body-collision engine available. There is no competitor to BeamNG in terms of its features and capabilities.
Beamng is the best sim, fight me !
If you don't have it already, I urge you to go and buy it. It is not polished by any means and takes some time to get used to but linger in menus to learn shortcuts, set it up correctly and you will enjoy it!

AI summary — not a quote
Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) is a premier GT3-focused racing simulator widely praised for its realistic car-to-road connection, high-quality graphics, and strong force feedback. While it is often compared to iRacing, users frequently highlight its competitive online ecosystem—particularly through Low Fuel Motorsport (LFM)—and its rewarding endurance racing experience. However, opinions on its force feedback (FFB) are occasionally mixed, and some players note regional population dips during specific time slots.
Pros
- Strong, communicative force feedback that provides a realistic sense of tire grip and road surface.
- High-quality visual presentation and immersive graphics compared to older simulators.
- Robust competitive online racing scene, often facilitated by the LFM (Low Fuel Motorsport) platform.
- Rewarding endurance racing mechanics, particularly on iconic tracks like the Nordschleife.
Cons
- Player counts can drop significantly during USA evening time slots, leading to a 'ghost town' experience for some.
- Mixed reception of FFB feel, with some users describing it as 'floaty' or containing 'fake' additions.
- High skill ceiling where new players may find themselves significantly slower than experienced racers even with basic equipment.
- Visual fidelity issues reported by some users, including outdated tree modeling and occasional nausea-inducing performance in specific setups.

Indeed, i have couple of hundreds hours in ACC and LMU, but I just accepted my fate, that every 8yo kid with non ffb wheel will be quicker than me, so I stopped worrying and Im just enjoying what I enjoy atm (F1, EA WRC, Forza, ETS2)
I love BeamNG and play it single-player all the time, but I only play AMS2 or AC/ACC for my online needs..
Its handling is definitely not as good as LMU or ACC, but it by far has the best variety and AI.
I wouldn't trust anyone that looks at ACC, Evo, or LMU and decides, nope, a radar makes those games worse.
I mostly race on ACC and AC LFM races, as well as Beamng and WRC 10 which i all thoroughly enjoy.
