Comment on Smaller rally/racing games I recommend you try!

I appreciate the post and the recommendations, but none of these games scratch the same itch that Forza Motorsport is meant to scratch.
The alternatives are the competitors like ACC, Gran Turismo 7 or iRacing (possibly race room) - games focused on the realism and online competition.

I am honestly missing something like that, too. A racing game that’s similar to Forza Motorsport 4 or Gran Turismo 4. Where you have to start off with small, cheap cars, compete with them earn money, buy other cars for other cups with specific limiations (“only FWD japanese cars built on a tuesday in 1978”), collecting cars along the way, etc.

I feel you, I’ve spent so long grinding drivers licenses and playing absurd cups like that. Unfortunately not many options, and even Motorsport was… meh.
Project Cars 2 is a frequent recommendation, but it’s delisted. Then there’s mods for other games, like automobilista 2, but not official. I wouldn’t expect much from AC Evo either, with how the launch was basically online-mandated and the series not having much of career mode…

I have PC2 in my collection but haven’t tried it on the deck yet. I played quite a lot of the original Project Cars, which has a career mode, but that one is just seemingly linear progression, “moving up” in the series. It’s unfortunately lacking the entire car collecting aspect, checking which of your cars works for a specific event/series, and if none fits, “go shopping” for a car that does.
I also own Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione on steam, and they are great sims to sit down in front of the tv, set up a wheel and go racing, but they, too, lack the entire car collection aspect. You start a race or series, hop in a car that’s provided, and once done, you move on to the next series, abandon the old car, and get in a new one.
Really the best thing I can play is GT4 or Forza 4 on an emulator, and Forza 4 doesn’t currently work on the 360 emus :(
