There have been a number of improvements, and I expect more improvements down the road, but games like RaceRoom Racing Experience have AI that is more celebrated than that of Assetto Corsa. Many of the cars sound wimpy or underwhelming in comparison to Assetto Corsa.

With subscription service, dedicated servers, and a safety rating system there are plenty of reasons to give iRacing a try, but sound isn’t one of them. There are certainly sims with worse sound, the biggest of which being iRacing. The sound in Assetto Corsa is good, but certainly not a key selling point (although when is sound a key selling point anyway), some cars seem to have better sounds than others. With that being said, Assetto Corsa is very much a work in progress, and large strides have been made in the physics department (Force Feedback, Tire Models, etc.) and continue to be made all the time. While the rFactor series has a firm grasp on physics, the visual aspect of both games is certainly lacking in comparison to the aforementioned grandeur of Assetto Corsa.

Not even rFactor 2 has physics good enough to wretch the title away from its predecessor. The original rFactor is still widely considered by most to have the best physics of any sim-racing game currently on the market.
