racing simulator
Digital track experience
A racing simulator is a video game or training system designed to replicate the experience of driving race cars, with emphasis on realistic physics, handling, and track conditions.
Serious simulators use steering wheels, pedals, and sometimes full cockpit rigs to approximate actual racing: He spent hours on the racing simulator before his first track day.
The term distinguishes these from arcade-style racing games that prioritize fun over fidelity.
