rFactor - testing at Riverside.
Aw man, used to have that game. Never was that good at it, never had a proper setup (steering wheel etc.) - I just used a Saitek game controller (PS4 style) and pretty much stopped playing when the controller died. But used to have loads of fun downloading cars and tracks from rfactor.net(?) and trying them out. I think my favorite car was the Toyota Atlantics that I downloaded from that site, and after that the BMW F1 car that I don't remember if it was included in the game or was a download. And then there were a few versions of the street course at Long Beach I downloaded which was my favorite track - that and various versions of Nürburgring that were out there. I wanted to get in to rFactor 2 when that came out, but it was too taxing for the PC I had at the time and it refused to work over wifi which was a showstopper for me.
Nürburgring is insane, I've never been able to learn the layout adequately to drive it competitively.
I just use a gamepad, it took a bit of tweaks to the PLR file to make it work well though; it took quite awhile to tweak other settings too, little things like AI braking stiffness need adjusted to make the AI less prone to hitting you.
It's great how many different types of cars are available for it. I mostly just race touring cars but pretty much anything from go-karts to open-wheelers, to trophy trucks is available.
