Realistic racing sim for Xbox 360

[Chris71]

I realise this is a relative term when it comes to consoles, but what would you say is the most realistic racing sim for the Xbox 360? I've got Forza 4 and the physics model seemed really disappointing initially, but curiously it seems to get better if you pick one of the purpose built racing cars like the R15 or the 333 SP.

Following a quick Google it sounds like Race Pro might be worth a shot. Really not too worried about the graphics - my only point of reference is a 10-year old PC running GT Legends - providing the physics model is half decent.

I don't think there's anything more realistic than Forza 4 (on the X360 at least). For the realistic racing sims, you're best off ditching the Xbox and looking on the PC platform instead.

race pro - but it's old now.

I bought a copy of Race Pro and struggled to get into it. With the Caterhams and Brands Hatch I was able to pick a scenario I'm reasonably familiar with in real-life, but the physics model doesn't feel anything like as close as it is on SimBin's earlier PC games like GT Legends.

Maybe switching to a steering wheel will help? Never liked the non-linear way the thumbsticks work on the Xbox controller.

So far, Forza remains my favourite. Shame they don't do a sort of Forza Pro - tweak the physics a little and focus on proper competition cars and real world tracks rather than the arcade stuff.
