Casual, but good, PC driving games
Discussion
Now I've got my G29 wheel, I've been having a quick bash at ProjectCars2 and RaceRoom (and Shift2, but dumped that asap, clearly nowhere near as good as PC2)...
...they're very good indeed, but between the depth of setting up both car and wheel, many tracks with very varied cars, and a massive learning curve for the driving, I don't feel the urge to get too deeply into any one of them yet (I will, I will...)
Just wondering if anyone's got any pointers for much quicker to pick-up-and-play games that will use the wheel and be decent and modern but maybe more arcade than sim - firstly for me to have quick blasts in the evenings, secondly for daughter (16 and just starting to show interest in driving) to be able to stand any chance of staying out of the armco

Hmmmm, well, yes, I could... but I was winning the demo version's races after a couple of tries to learn the track and the AI with all the aids switched on as standard; I rapidly decided that if I was going to get into it properly, there was little point in not switching all that off before learning bad habits.In the meantime, I grabbed the wheel because it was a good price; I'm actually not far into an RPG (and I want to play the new Life Is Strange soon, too) so I don't want to commit the time needed to learn the racing sims just yet, but I would like to use the wheel

Horrific time sink!
