User reviews & Ratings

I love the game but they need to do something about the penalties. It's not fair that someone bumps into you on purpose and also gives points to the person who had nothing to do with it....

Look no further, this is the perfect simracing game, well, almost. The only thing bad about this game is the price of the cars, tracks, subscription and perhaps the graphics but only compared to other simracing games. But you can always just pay for the subscription and play the free cars and tracks in ranked, where you have a race every 20 minutes. I played Le Mans Ultimate, Asseto Corsa, Asseto Corsa Competizione, Asseto Corsa EVO, Automovilista 2, simcades and arcade racing games, as of today the only one almost perfect is this one, but perhaps in the future Le Mans Ultimate and Asseto Corsa EVO could change that, i hope, because only having one option to chose and no alternatives could be really bad. It has a good ranked system, safety + Irating: Safety rating = How safe or unsafe you drive and crash, it directly affects who you are matched with, example: if you crash everytime your Safety rating it’s going to be low, so they are going to put you in a race with others that are crazy and crash everytime like you, if you drive clean they put you with clean racers. Irating = Kind of a numeric skill rating, goes up if you finish higher, goes down if you finish in the last positions. It affects the matchmaking, it puts you with players at your same level. As of today (May 2025), the other alternative games are these ones, the numbers are the peak of players in the last 24hs: Asseto corsa 14,195 F1 2024 (simcade + EA is greedy and trash + a new one every year) 4,743 Forza Horizon 5 (arcade) 19,487 Asseto Corsa Competizione 4,361 Le Mans Ultimate 3,044 Forza Motosport (simcade) 1,010 Automovilista 2 1,080 RaceRoom Racing Experience 892 Asseto Corsa EVO 852 (early access, no multiplayer yet) rFactor 2 571 iRacing 13000 And right now, iRacing has 13k players online. Asseto corsa has a focus on modding and not so much focus in ranked races, even tho it has LowFuelMotosport as third party ranked system, it just doesn’t have frequent races nor a good amount of players. Forza is just an arcade game, F1 has a new game every year and it’s trash every single year without much changes, for example the online races are a mess and it’s just drive to survive without penalties. Asseto Corsa Competizione it’s kind of decent but if you want a good ranked system you have to use LowFuelMotosport (third party elo ranked system) instead of relying in an ingame ranked system. And the races are like one race every 1 hour. Forza Motosport has a dead multiplayer experience (low amount of players, bad penalty system and bad skill matchmaking), RaceRoom and rFactor 2 are almost empty. Sadly Automovilista also relies on LowFuelMotosport (example, today is 1 race every 2 hours) because it doesn’t have a built-in ranked system and the player base is small. The future is just Le Mans Ultimate that has a nice multiplayer system where you play Daily Races every 20 minutes just like iRacing but the Premium ranked system it’s behind a Subscription of $84 USD per year. But to be honest, the daily races are good enough and the matchmaking is good enough because there are 3 divisions in the free ranked system (you have to grind and play good in order to advance in one division): Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. If you only want to play a couple of races a day and have a nice experience, then Le Mans Ultimate is a nice game. The only bad thing about that game is that the performance and optimization of the game is absolute t r a s h, and unlike iRacing, you only have Hypercars, LMGT3 and GTE + plus only 10 circuits to play. The other possible option in the future is Asseto Corsa EVO, which doesn’t even have a multiplayer mode yet. If you are fine playing only three types of cars and 10 circuits, just play Le Mans Ultimate because it’s cheaper. If you want to play Sports cars, Formula cars, Dirt Oval cars, Dirt Road cars, Indycar, Nascar, IMSA, and Team competitions with a solid multiplayer ranked system that a game should have (ELO, safety rating, penalties) and one ranked race every 20 minutes, play iRacing and at least pay the subscription for one month. P.S: By the way, iRacing downloads and updater are bugged at steam, so buy from the website if you don't want to spend time fixing it. If you buy it here (because it's cheaper than in the website) and you ever have an issue where steam is trying to download the full game of 138GB even tho the update is of 2MB, then you have to make the appmanifest_266410.acf file of steam Read-only in Windows to avoid steam from updating the game and only update it from the iRacing client.

The FFB, the physics and the sound are great, but the pricing model is horrible, especially if you have to pay the full subscription price + cars + maps... Recommending this game feels wrong, but the competition is lacking right now.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME THROUGH STEAM iRacing is great, but the subscription through Steam will regularly fail and lock you out until you contact support. It will take the money from you, but iRacing support must manually check if you are actually active. Ask them to convert your account to an iRacing account. Again, great game and absolutely shit integration with Steam.
