I'm tempted to just focus on seeing how I can play the great racing games of yesteryear and maybe get their accompanying DLC like Project Gotham, Forza Motorsport 4, Enthusia, Racing Gears Advance, Blur, etc.
Perhaps I can take solace in how there are plenty of older games to keep me entertained for like 10 lifetimes.
Gran Turismo 2 is my all time favorite...but it's really old at this point. Loved Forza 4. Never could get into Project Gotham.
You ever tried Assetto Corsa? If you're in to modding at all that game is where it's at. There are loads of cars and tracks you can download from mod sites to race or roam around on.
I've never modded a game as I don't have a gaming PC, unfortunately.
I did play F1 2001 & 2002 from EA Sports as well as Sports Car GT, NFS Porsche Unleashed, and Dirt Track Racing 2 on a relative's 2004 era Toshiba laptop, though. I had a good time with them and they played a big role in getting me into real motorsports.
I've heard good things about Assetto Corsa. It's apparently available for consoles, too.
I have the Xbox version. It's a fine game but lacks the modding potential. I don't think it has a career mode like you'd expect in a lot of games but the realism is top notch. Still, I'd only recommend it when on sale with all the DLC packs. Usually less than 10 bucks for it all.

How is that version?
