A game that exists to provide escapism to people and give them a chance to pretend they're driving their dream car that reality could never provide, locks out said dream cars. neat.

I do want to get back into track racing games but the options are either full sim or full arcade. Idk when the last real forza came out and I rather play on PC. I love letting my eyes lose focus and follow the track.

Next real Forza comes out in a week and will be on PC Game Pass.

I'm their worst nightmare. I'm going to get the lotus exige and never buy another car in-game.

exists to provide escapism

There's your problem. It exists to generate money, and that's mostly it.

I really enjoy BeamNG, it's a sandbox where you can just drive around. Or crash into stuff.

Not really a racing game tho.

Edit: ETS2 also scratches that driving while zoning out itch.

I bought BeamNG almost a decade ago I think. Its a lot of fun but i find it a bit aimless. I more or less want to learn a course and car and fine tune my reaction and anticipation of the course.

I should give it another try, i'm sure there's been a lot of updates.

Yeah, it being a sandbox makes it a bit a make your own fun kind of game, but you can also do official and modded missions and there are multiplayer mods.
