I played Assetto Corsa with Thrustmaster TMX Pro and TH8A shifter and didn't enjoy it. It might have more realistic physics, but it just felt so different and harder than driving a real car, especially drifting. Initially I thought that it could be some king of cheap training, but all the feedback was so different, plus lack of the g-forces, so it didn't really work, at least for me. I decided to play racing sims on a gamepad. Super realistic physics might be cool, but at least from my experience, it's kind of pointless if you have a mediocre hardware, which is the majority of the devices. Maybe some really fancy ones feel better, but they cost like a decent performance car, and in the end you still don't have all the g-forces and such, so I'd rather buy a real car for that price.

I think GT should be in the sweet spot regarding realism. From what I can see in the videos and remembering GT5.
