Does anyone play simraceway? I installed it just for the palatov motorsports dp4 and formula SAE cars. The physics seems pretty on to me but nobody seems to be online so I'm just racing by myself.

All depends on what you want to do. If it's realistic driving/racing physics, doing a softbody simulation isn't enough. I'd wager the suspension in it is a simple spring, tires are probably nothing special either. Modern racing sims spend considerable CPU on simulating whole suspension geometries and multivalve dampers, as well feature highly complex tire and contact patch simulations. The advantage BeamNG has is chassis flex, something with racesims have not bothered simulating yet, which is think would still be worthwhile on non-F1 cars.

I have beam ng and it is an awesome tech demo. I feel like beam ng, and rigs of rods, main strength is larger vehicles like trucks and offroad vehicles.
