I'm really happy with the results three of my favourite sims being on the podium! Well done, community.

Me personally would put rFactor 2 as 4th and Project Cars 2 would be higher ranked compared to both rally games.

interesting, thx RD for setting this up.

Automobilista on podium : that's a win for this "little" title (and well deserved)
...Results are as they are.... RD is a AC'friendly community, but is open-minded enough to not let down the other titles

Got only 7 sims on the 14 noted here (ac, ams, R3E, RF2, acc, iracing, and pcars2 ) "really" use (or used) 4 (iracing, rf2, ams and AC) but it's great to see variety, and to know that people runs what they like, no matter wich one you choose

rF2 being higher than ACC, PC2 and iRental is much deserved.
TBH, AC (when with Content Manager) and AMS deserves it's place up top

Isimotor2 after 15 years still on top and giving a head to head fight with a modern sim with the biggest modding community. It's unbelievable, 15 years, there were no progress at all in simracing, that's a fact.

AC has the bigger community but the average quality of its mods is debatable. AMS has great modders, Patrick giranthon, Climaxf1, Rebellion, etc. Your mods are really amazing too. AMS has a long future ahead.

What a complete shocker. I would've never expected this result. I thought PCars 2 is going to win hands down.

But no, in a complete twist of events, the sim with the largest and loudest community somehow managed to make it to the very top.

Kevin Troschinski · Jan 20, 2020

I am glad 2 of my favorite sims are on the podium. Assetto Corsa fully deserves to call it overall best sim out there.

Biggest suprise of course - Wreckfest. I hate offroad racing (playing rallys only with pad and chase view

so it`s nothing for me...

ZeldaACFan17 · Jan 20, 2020

AC all the way!! YES!!

Jugulador · Jan 20, 2020

I expected AC to win... but AMS at second, RaceRoom at third, Wreckfest fourth and, specially, GTE between the last positions surprised me.

The technology evolved a lot... AMS have a big trouble because of Isimotor2... but Reiza proved that understanding about the simulated object and "quality over quantity" is much more important than a fancy engine. PCars is another proof of that, because the SMS's game is a mix of different levels of content... it can give you amazing experiences as well of very bad ones... like those early MUGEN games that people simply rip content from different titles and just put all together, hoping for the best.

The result (pCars2 = 11) shows that Reiza will have to do a great job to really please the most demanding public with AMS2.

The game engine is not the problem of PCars2, it's the lack of standards with the game content, that varies... a lot.

AC had a lower average, but it's best mods are a way ahead in quality from the best AMS's. BTW... the only reason that I still playing AC is because some of it's mods, that exceed by far the content, official or not, of any other sim. Thanx, Bazza!

Automobilista #2, very close to AC, quality over quantity still matters.

These types of comments are so predictable. And not very constructive at all.

F_B · Jan 20, 2020

Wreckfest?

giga1tr · Jan 20, 2020

AC # 1 no surprise.
AMS No. 2 great, REIZA really deserves that
R3E No. 3 Sector 3 worked really well and made great progress.
ACC is before iRacing. Kunos can be really proud. And we can be really grateful. So many great simulations right now. The choice is very difficult. Awesome!

Xzess · Jan 20, 2020

ACC should irse higher now. But anyways, I agree with the list.

kamackeris · Jan 20, 2020

gotta say i need to revise my rating of ACC...i gave it a 1 as it was horribly optimized and ran dreadful on my old PC but now on my new rig i am absolutly loving it ...i would give it an 8 maybe a 9

So sorry for not being so smart !!!

Durge Driven · Jan 20, 2020

Every iRacing lover agrees with it being 8th

rF2 rated lower then Wreckfest you lot can't be serious

Glad I had nothing to do with the whole thing

Jason Mullin · Jan 20, 2020

I demand a recount!
Wreckfest above rFactor? This all sounds as greasy as politics here in America.
Cheers to Assetto Corsa and our community!

640er · Jan 20, 2020

Nice to see Wreckfest in the list. Had a fun time playing it.

AMS in 2nd

Maybe I now know which sim to get besides AC.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or have been living under a rock for the past 15 years?

Dynamic track tech, dynamic weather, more data available for tire models, improved physics, ffb......VR, DD wheels, motion simulators etc. etc.

Good to see AMS make the podium, the second best sim that no one plays lol
