Recent Trends: Arcade vs Simulation

Focus: Surveying recent PC car/racing games and extracting trends: what features are most demanded, which genres are growing (sim, sim-cade, arcade), and what technological improvements are being made.
Key points:
Demand for realism: physics, handling, vehicle model fidelity (see Assetto Corsa EVO, WRC, etc.).
Demand for accessibility: driving aids, tutorials, “Academy” modes.
Visuals and immersion: real-time weather, lighting, graphics optimizations.
Multiplayer / community / mod support.
