On a racing simulator you can drive almost any kind of car: road cars, GT race cars, Formula 1 and other open-wheel cars, stock cars, rally cars and drift cars, including licensed models from brands like Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and Toyota. What you can actually drive depends on the software loaded on the rig and its add-on packs, so the car list varies from one simulator to the next.
It Depends on the Software
A simulator is the hardware plus the sim that runs on it, and each sim has its own licensed car list. Three common examples:
- Assetto Corsa lists officially licensed cars from Abarth, Audi, BMW, Classic Team Lotus, Ferrari, KTM, Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes, Scuderia Glickenhaus, Pagani, Porsche, Tatuus and others on its store page, and it supports community-made cars and tracks through modding.
- The official F1 game from EA covers the current grid; F1 25's 2026 Season Edition adds the new Audi and Cadillac teams for 11 teams in total.
- iRacing groups cars into classes for fair racing; its sporting code gives NASCAR Cup cars, GT3 and GTE cars as examples.
Cars by Category
Formula 1 and open-wheel
Light, fast and sensitive to setup. Beyond the official F1 game, Assetto Corsa's Ferrari 70th Anniversary Pack includes Ferrari's 1967 312/67, the 2004 F2004 and the 2017 SF70H Formula 1 cars, alongside the 250 GTO, 330 P4, 1984 GTO and 812 Superfast.
GT and sports cars
Race versions of road-going sports cars, such as GT3. They have more grip and downforce than road cars but are more forgiving than single-seaters.
JDM classics
Assetto Corsa's Japanese Pack adds Japanese Domestic Market favorites: the Toyota Supra Mk IV (including time-attack and drift versions), Toyota AE86 Trueno, Nissan GT-R R34 Skyline V-Spec, Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, Nissan 370Z NISMO and Mazda MX-5.
Stock cars
Heavy cars built for ovals, where drafting decides races. Read our post on driving Daytona on a simulator.
Rally cars
Built for gravel, snow and broken tarmac. Dedicated rally sims such as Assetto Corsa Rally feature laser-scanned stages and cars and a co-driver calling pace notes.
Road cars and hypercars
Road cars are the easiest place to start. Supercars and hypercars are on the menu too, such as models from Pagani, Lamborghini and McLaren in Assetto Corsa's licensed list.
Which Car Should a First-Timer Pick?
For beginners, a road car or a GT car with driving aids switched on is the forgiving choice. Assetto Corsa includes gamer, racer and pro assist profiles, so the same car can be set up for a first-timer or a regular. Save the F1 car for the second or third run, once the guest knows the track.
