There are some new racing simulations coming to the PC market. rFactor 2, Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom, GTR3 and pCARS. While I don’t want to discuss which game might be a sim and which isn’t, the latest three games might not support modding as we know it.  There will be always a way to modify the files and someone might write some sort of converter to get your models and textures into game but I’ll flag those as non-modable right now.
