There are many fans of car games. Pretending that you are driving on a professional circuit, fighting not to be stopped in a chase or driving through the streets of an open world with a luxury car is a dish of good pleasure for any motorist lover. Therefore, today we show you the best car and racing games for any platform .
Pure simulation car simulators
Let’s start by talking about those titles that seek to bring the most realistic experience possible in terms of driving: “pure” simulators.
Assetto Corsa
Assetto Corsa is perhaps one of the best known among racing simulation games. In this case we show you his latest release, Assetto Corsa Competizione , but you should know that it is not the only installment in this saga.
As you can imagine, one of the strongest points of this game is how realistic the driving section and the visual aspect become . If you have a set of steering wheel and pedals, you can feel totally immersed in the sensation of driving a racing car through its circuits. Although, of course, you can use it with a controller without problems.
In addition, this title also has a competitive multiplayer mode . So, if you want to get there, you will have to spend hours on the wheels and the track.
Assetto Corsa is available in:
Real Racing 3
If you want to experience the racing experience wherever you are, you can achieve it thanks to Real Racing 3 , a game for mobile devices.
A game that could be considered as the pocket Gran Turismo in which we will have a good assortment of totally realistic cars , and well-known circuits such as Silverstone or Laguna Seca. Cars ranging from F1 to brands such as Bugatti, Porsche or BMW.

iRacing
iRacing is probably the most realistic racing simulator on the market according to many fans. After its launch in 2015, many are the players who have gone through it, spending hundreds of hours inside the cars that this title recreates.
This game also offers one of the largest communities in online racing . From NASCAR to IndyCar, Aussie Supercars, sports cars and Grand Prix racing, a little bit of everything in the iRacing catalog.
And of course, if you have a steering wheel and pedals, you can enjoy the best experience with its more than 150 different cars and 40 real circuits in the motor world.

Gran Turismo Sport
Few are those who do not know today the saga of the mythical Gran Turismo. This time we are talking about one of their latest launches, the Gran Turismo Sport .
An exclusive Playstation game that, after its latest update, focuses much more on the online section to improve the experience and its playability. Although we will always have the campaign mode with its 19 circuits and the 48 challenges that we will have to face. On the other hand, we will have a total of 140 cars from well-known companies such as Lamborghini, Ferrari or Ford.
Despite having great realism at the level of details, perhaps something we could say against it is that our vehicle will not receive damage, which takes a bit of that experience.
Gran Turismo Sport is available in:
Grand Truck Simulator
Turning now to truck driving simulators, something that has become very fashionable in the last year, we have Grand Truck Simulator .
This game for mobile devices gives us the possibility to take the experience of being a true trucker anywhere. Although at the graphic level it is not the best, it does have physics that are quite close to reality . In this game we will be able to modify the suspension of the truck, receive damage to the bodywork, honk or switch between the different types of trailers.
Grand Truck Simulator is available in:
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is the truck simulator that has become the most popular lately. And this is because, at the level of details, it is the game that comes closest to the experience that a trucker lives on a daily basis.
In it, we will travel the streets of many European countries, among which we will find Italy, Germany or Belgium. We can set up our own fleet of roads, buy garages to store them, hire more truckers to work with us and, of course, feel their life in our own flesh from the living room at home.

Arcade car simulators
If you enjoy driving action more, but you don’t need it to be so realistic or complicated, another very interesting genre is Arcade car games .
Asphalt 9: Legends
We begin with the latest release of a well-known saga. This is Asphalt 9 , a car game for our smartphone in which we will have a multitude of circuits, modes and cars to drive.
We can enjoy the campaign mode , in which different sections will be unlocked as we win medals in each of the races. Meanwhile, we will have to expand our garage by getting plans for new cars and, of course, investing our profits in them to give them better driving, higher speed or more Nitro.
We will also have online mode and legend pass , in which we will have to compete against other players alone or in teams.
Asphalt 9 is available in:
FIA Truck Racing
FIA Truck Racing is a game halfway between simulator and arcade game. This is a circuit racing game in which we will have to fight to reach the finish line first.
Controlling and maneuvering with these large vehicles is not something easy as you can imagine, especially if we are driving at high speeds. We will have to take into account details such as the temperature of the brakes, so that they are not damaged by overheating, so we will have to activate the cooling system when necessary.
20 teams , from brands such as IVECO, Volvo or Freightliner, and 10 tracks ahead with realistic mechanics so that we can enjoy the best experience.
FIA Truck Racing is available in:
Wreckfest
Wreckfest is a driving game that goes against the normality we are used to. Why? Because our main mission is to sow chaos wherever we go with our car.
We will have several game modes, where we will find traditional races, free or multiplayer mode. In all of them we will have to do, in addition to the main challenge, the maximum possible damage to our opponents, which will give us extra points.
Wreckfest is available at:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a remastering for Nintendo Switch of the well-known saga of the company. A racing game in which the popular Nintendo characters are the drivers of small karts.
With them we will run through different circuits where we will have to overcome obstacles and attack rivals with the objects that we find along the way.

Open world car simulators
If you like to race like crazy without any kind of limit, we recommend that you take a look at the open world car games:
The Crew 2
The Crew 2 is the second installment, as you may have realized from its name, of a game that did not start out standing out but that, after several updates, was polishing certain characteristics demanded by its users.
In this case, The Crew 2 further improves those details and implements greater playability with tournaments on land, sea and air. These tournaments cover many topics: motocross, rally, stunts, boat races and a long etcetera.
As a good open world game, we will not have to respect the limits set by the track. We can run from one side to the other, skidding and colliding with everything at high speeds, or even jumping from one side to another to get extra objects.
The Crew 2 is available in:
Forza Horizon 4
Forza Horizon 4 is an open world game in which we will have to travel the streets of the United Kingdom. One of the great changes that the fourth version of this sega brings is the inclusion of the change of season. With these variations come different types of competitions, such as skidding, and driving dynamics.
Another feature of this game is the ability to improve as a user in different ways. We can increase our level by doing: street races, events, championships, finding abandoned cars, etc.

Need for Speed Heat
Of course, Need for Speed Heat is also the latest installment in another well-known saga in the history of racing games.
It is an open world arcade driving game in which by winning, we will get money that we can then invest in buying new cars or improving current ones.
As a good open world today, we see a clear difference in the passage of time, or rather, in the passage from night to day. Depending on the moment in which we are driving we can carry out different tests, each with different rewards. In addition, we will have the police behind us and if they capture us, it will take away all the experience acquired so far.
Need for Speed Heat is available in:
