What I found is the cars reactions are closer to the way they handle IRL than in any other sim, including AC. This is especially obvious when you try drifting.

I mean, I see you have a S13 which I have to assume has been sideways. I personally feel drifting in AC is head and shoulders better than Beam. I think those cars handle like garbage, frankly.

Not to forget, AC also supports mods (as opposed to AC Competitzione).

Partially got into sim racing during COVID because of this guy and can say that it really took my driving to the next level. Once I learned to understand car balance and weight transfer, techniques like trail braking, rotating the car under braking and throttle all started to come together and a great way to get those down is in the sim. I see a lot of recommendations for AC and other sims, but if you're looking for a sim with the best FFB, I would recommend rFactor 2. Do some research on their tire model and you'll be blown away. |

Surprised no one has mentioned autocross!
It's not for everyone, but if you're new to pushing your car it will get you a little more comfortable. - Andrew |

Surprisingly, I haven't drifted my 240 yet lol. Needs some work first, but that's not the point of this discussion. Based on my IRL experience of drifting E36 M3 and my ex Toyota 86, I have exactly the opposite impression of BeamNG and AC, lol.

A little pricey but not like a full on motion rig. If you have an 8020 rig, it can mount up easily and provides way more detail and immersion than a buttkicker. Whether or not the cost is worth it is subjective. The thing with this is to not set it up on full blast to shake you around, but to tune the motion to replicate the feeling you get through the seat for understeer/oversteer moments. |

I do like the flexibility of the open track days since I can go the track and practice continuous laps. That said in the context of understeer vs oversteer, spinning out on the track trying to get the tail could be very expensive if I were to hit a wall or another driver. It can be very intimidating compared to autocross. |

Another thing to consider: I’ve never gotten yelled at for being that guy that takes as many turns as possible in a 4wheel drift. I’ve never even gotten yelled at for spinning out because of it. Open track days aren’t that lenient. |

Something else just occurred to me. OP is in Michigan. Winter is coming. Frozen lakes, baby! I lived in Minnesota for four years and even with my depressing FWD car, I made it a point to get out there and hoon every year.
