driving sim
Digital car game
A driving sim (driving simulation or driving simulator) is a video game focused on realistic vehicle operation, emphasizing physics, handling, and the experience of driving over racing or combat.
Players navigate courses or open roads with attention to braking, steering, and road conditions: I've been practicing on a driving sim before my driving test.
The term distinguishes these games from arcade-style racers that prioritize speed and spectacle over authenticity.
