The history of PC based car simulators dates back to the early 1980s. One of the earliest examples is Chequered Flag, which was released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum. Chequered Flag was a simple racing game with a top-down view, but it was praised for its realistic driving physics.

In the 1990s, PC based car simulators became more sophisticated. Grand Prix Legends, which was released in 1998, is considered to be one of the most realistic racing games ever made. Grand Prix Legends featured accurate physics and graphics, and it allowed players to race classic Formula 1 cars from the 1960s and 1970s.

The 2000s saw the rise of console based car simulators, such as Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport. However, PC based car simulators continued to thrive, with titles such as iRacing and rFactor providing a more realistic and challenging experience.
