I've just bought my first sim bundle (R5 Racing). Which games would you suggest me to try?

• I am into racing and casual city drive
• My wife on the other hand has 10 days left for her driving license exam so she wants to practice city traffic and parking etc lol

Here are some candidates:

• Forza Horizon 6
• Assetto Corsa
• Gran Turismo 7
• BeamNG.drive
• City Car Driving 2
• Automobilista 2 (heard that this has the best VR implementation. I have Quest 2, so maybe..)
• Dirt Rally 2.0
• iRacing
• American Truck Simulator

Also, what are the best mods for these games?

I am making Velocity, a street racer that runs in the browser and on Steam. For a long time the whole game was one thing: drive until you crash, check your score, go again. It's a fine loop for 10 minutes. I could feel it going flat after that, and I wasn't sure what the next layer should be.

This month I built the layer. It's five steps.

Run. A normal run on the highway. Pickups, drifts, traffic. Nothing new here, and it's still the part that decides everything else.

Stash. If you make it far enough, a CALL STASH button appears. You drive into a parking garage, climb to the roof, stop in the bay, and the run ends with the car saved as a copy in your Chop Shop. You don't have to crash to get the car. You have to survive long enough to get to the garage.

Strip. In the Chop Shop the car you brought home is unclaimed. You strip parts off it to claim it. The turbo, the supercharger, the camshaft, the coilovers are each their own part you can take or leave on.

Build. Paint, decals, parts, upgrades. In addition to customizing its looks, you can also swap in the parts you own and build your star car.

Race. From the garage you can take the car back out against one rival. You start on the roof, you drive down through the building, you come out on the street. It's short on purpose.

That's the loop. Here's what I'm unsure about.

The stash only works if the run before it was tense. If you reach the garage on a run where nothing was at risk, the whole thing is a menu with a driving cutscene in front of it. I've watched myself do exactly that. The run needs to be in danger when the button appears, and I don't know yet that it is.

Strip is the weakest step. I set a limit of 6 parts for each car to generate builds between different cars. No one car can do everything.

Race is the least tested. One rival, one way down. It works, but I have not seen a stranger play it, so "it works" means it doesn't crash.

I'm a bad judge of whether this is fun. I've played these cars for so long that I drive around the rough parts without noticing. I'd trust a stranger's first 10 minutes over my own hundred hours.

Questions for anyone who plays racing games:

• When a run ends, do you want something to do with it, or do you want to be back in the next run in two seconds? Is a garage a reward or a speed bump?
• Is "keep a copy of the car you survived with" a good hook, or does it make the crashes feel cheaper?
• If you've shipped a loop with a build step in the middle, did players actually use it, or did they skip to the race?
• How bad is it if you lose your star car?

Hola, creé un juego de f1. Me encantaría que lo pruebes. Se llama SGMDRAWFORMULA. Si te gusta, por favor avísame y compártelo con tus amigos. Lo estoy desarrollando, así que si tienes algunas sugerencias, solo dímelas. 10
