Well, we don't know for sure what improvements PD has made for GTSport. Maybe they've stepped it up and now have comparable physics. Either way, I think @TT92 still has a point with his comparison because those are the three "good" racing sims available on the Playstation. I think the majority of users are just looking to have a really good time racing and if the physics are top-notch that's a bonus, but if they're bungled a bit, like in GT6, no big deal. Heck, I was one of those people who thought GT6 was awesome even with the glaring driving physics issues. I have since moved on, of course, but I think most people are willing to make sacrifices to "have fun". The way Kunos f'ed up online play for console users is going to come back to haunt them big time, I believe.
I never really thought about this. You make an excellent point, in my opinion. If you're trying to decide between AC or PCars you might as well get AC now and when PCars 2 comes out grab that sim...If you get PCars 1 right now and love it, I'm sure you'll upgrade to PCars 2 because PCars 2 must be better than PCars 1 and you already love PCars 1 -- that's a no brainer!!
However, now you've put yourself in a position where you never even tried Assetto Corsa. Chances are PCars is going to be pretty damn sweet, so you probably won't want to take a step backwards, in a sense, and get AC when you already have PCars 2. Heck, I only have Assetto Corsa and I absolutely love it...but I am super psyched to see PCars 2 get released. The head dude Ian Bell has really talked PCars 2 up on the PCars forum and if what he has been saying actually materializes - that's going to be a great product. I'll have to give it a try.
It is good to have choices and options. As a sim racer, I will buy all games that I think are helpful to the racing genre. In fact, I like them all for different aspects. GT6 served me well in the league and online racing with friends. I used to race with SNAIL and also ALB_123 and we would care less about physics because it is just fun haha. Project Car so far, in my opinion, create very clean and competitive AIs driver that I can fine tune to my driving level. When I want racing with computer and appreciating the beauty of cars, I will turn on PCars. Lately, I have been obsessed with realism so I bought all car packs in Assetto Corsa and basically drive all cars around the Ring for fun.
I am waiting to buy Pcars2 and GT Sport. In fact, I pre-order them. By the way, in my opinion, it is better to enjoy these games for different aspects. The mentality of either this or that should be changed to why not both or why not all?
I'm saving money for a motion platform. I'm not impressed yet with the current ones I'm seeing. Can't wait to see if Sparco, Fanatec, Thurstmaster or Logitech moves in that direction.

We r in the same boat
. AC is crazy with all the mods out there (tracks, skins, car, apps!!) Don't have time to play any other sim (R3E, AMS...etc).
Beautiful photo! 👍 I can't tell which track is that? The Evo Triangle? I just did a high speed run on the updated Evo Triangle from this week. I used a fresh car mod -- Nismo 400R. Not a bad car...Nothing great, but nothing awful about it.We r in the same boat
Having Porsches in AC is another plus if u ask me.
Most of us will get pcars2 but until then i am driving this baby...

Coincidentally, a new Lexus LFA-Nurburgring Edition just released tonight. Just before making this post I did about 10 laps in each car. There is the stock LFA and then a track day edition (fantasy/tweaked for the track). I prefer the stock which probably doesn't come as a surprise. 
I am surprised that there aren't FSport and RCF mods available yet.
Ha, you are the 2nd person that said that
ALB123 has urged me many many many times lol. I feel like I should have started with PC right in the beginning. I wonder if I can hook up the PC with a big 1080p TV with good resolution and no lagging. Couple more questions:To be honest, there aren't really too many Lexus mods out there and the ones that are available aren't exactly of great quality. Usually they're mods that were made 2 or 3 years ago and completely neglected so everything is old with the data, the sounds don't work anymore, etc.
That's why I end up working on certain cars if they really appeal to me, but are in bad shape. I give them a complete tune up!
Lexus LFA is my #1 dream car. I want to own this car before I die. I will buy it immediately if I win the lotto. I have seen 4 different LFA in different colors in various California location, and also sit in this car driven by a professional driver on the autocross. The sound of this car in real life is just incredible. It sounds like F1 formula car.
Ha, you are the 2nd person that said that
1. Does AC work with VR via PC?
2. What minimum graphics card is required to run AC stable with 40FPS+ at a medium settings?
3. How much budget is needed for a PC? I knows this will vary a lot but please give out a range.
4. Since I already purchased all the season pass and add on from PS store, can I transfer these over to the PC version or I have to pay again for it?
It shocks me too. Fortunately, a pretty sweet Lexus LFA mod was just released. The one that had been around for quite some time wasn't so hot.Kind of sad to see that Lexus is not that popular in sim racing
I'll be flying back to California to spend a month at your place.
I haven't bought a wheel yet, been saving up for one this year haha. I'm still in the process of learning apex, driving line and all that stuff. I want to be good at racing online and actually stand a chance as well as playing like the real players online do. I'll def start with assists on and slowly get away from them. Thanks for the adviceNothing to be ashamed of mate. I remember playing games like Gran Turismo 3 with assists. Hell, I remember when I was a kid, playing F1 World Grand Prix on N64 with all the assists, even steering and brake assists, so I could hold full throttle and just roughly steer in the general direction of the corners lol. The car basically drove itself. We've all gotta start somewhere
Anyway, for these games I'd recommend using TC and ABS to begin with if that's what you're used to. If you want to eventually run without assists, then slowly and progressively reduce them, and give yourself plenty of time to get used to having to use finer control of your inputs before reducing them further. I'd start with reducing TC, because throttle control is a really important skill to learn. It's easier to focus on that and your steering inputs, and leave ABS on so you can just slam the brakes, because it gives you one less thing to focus on. Eventually, the throttle control will become second nature, and when that time comes, you can learn to control the braking properly without ABS.
It's easier this way IMO, to learn the finer control of inputs one at a time. I'm assuming you'll be using a wheel of course, as fine throttle and brake control is much easier with a wheel, because your pedal travel is much more than the pad triggers, and the FFB will give you valuable information about what the car is doing underneath you, regarding traction loss, the rear end stepping out (of front end washing out in a FWD), and when the brakes are locking up.
