Dirt Rally is amazing, and hard as hell. If you liked CMR of old, you'll most likely enjoy this one. Although it it a bit more "simulation" than CMR.

Dirt Rally and Assetto Corsa are the best from a realistic view without being heavy on hardware requirements either.

Car sounds sucks in Project CARS 2. I like game but sound is very bad. Worse then in Project CARS 1. Assetto Corsa it's much better because better sounds, mods and better gameplay.

I played DiRT 4 and it can't compare to Colin McRae Rally 2005. Colin McRae Rally 2005 it's one of the best rally games and i'm still playing. Also CMR 3 and 4. I don't like CMR 1 and 2 so much.

Any of the older NFS games like Most wanted (Black edition) Carbon or underground versions are fun to play along with Race Driver Grid and Grid Autosport (forget about the second one it's crap so just skip it)

Which Most Wanted? 2005 or 2012? Hot Pursuit 1, 2 or 2010? Hot Pursuit 2010 it's not bad.

I don't like new games too because all sucks. I play old games because gameplay. I don't care about graphics.

The Crew is the only racing game since Most Wanted (2005) that I've liked and played extensively. PvP is optional and in open world, encounters with other players are fairly sparse. If someone gets on your nerves, you can block them and they won't be allowed to be in your instance again.

DiRT Rally is better than DiRT 4 imo - try and get your hands on it. DiRT 4 is a little too arcadey for me whereas DiRT Rally (despite being older) drives much better and the tracks are more realistic imo.

WRC 7 is also good - substantially better than the previous WRC games. Dare I say almost DiRT Rally levels of simulation?

Assetto Corsa is great for sure :)

If you like driving fast, I mean reaaaaaally fast try GRIP. it's in Early Access on Steam at the moment but I quite like it. It's not a 'traditional' racing game, but you may like it :)
