I'm looking for an alternative to Assetto Corsa in the Forza Series or maybe Project Cars 2. I'm sure none of them will substitute or be a real alternative as a 100% simulator, but I want a car game with a set of cars much bigger than the one in AC and with better graphics and better can modelling (exterior, but, more important interior). I'm not interested in the gameplay elements of these games, but I rather want them as car databases where I can explore inside and outside views and be able to see every detail of the cars. Therefore, the most important thing is how exact the cars replicated, no matter if the game is conceived as a simcade or a pure arcade. A good 'showroom' mode ala AC will be very important. As regards game differences I'm a bit lost. I know Project Cars 2 is more sim oriented, Forza Motorsport more like a simcade, while Horizon is an open world arcade. Now, what can else you tell me about these games? What are the latests versions or editions (I will be playing them with PC)? Do they support virtual reality? Are the better graphics just eye candy or are really car modelling and attention to detail more precise and overall better than AC?
Looking for an alternative to AC, just for realistic car modelling

Forza franchise, FM7 and FH4 are the latest, have very good collection of well modeled cars with nice showroom. None support VR though.
R3E (Race Room Racing Experience) could be another alternative, something around 150 cars, supports VR and qualifies as a sim.

Gran Turismo 6/Sport are generally accepted to have the most accurate models, especially in regard to Japanese vehicles.
AC is on par with PCars and FM for accuracy, FM probably has the highest showroom detail of the 3.
It kinda depends what you mean with "attention to detail" though... Forza showrooms will let you look in the engines and stuff, which is details that AC doesn't have... but the overall shape of the car is no closer to reality than in AC. Actually in some cases they use the same base models due to buying from the same contractors. FH also makes no attempt to have accurate wheel/tire sizes, they just use standard sizes on everything.
