it's a bit surprising - to me, at least - that nobody has mentioned racing games so far.
I am an avid racin' gamer and be it arcade or hyper-realistic sim, I'm down for driving what it can offer. I also like the lot where you have to do warm up laps, qualy etc., and don't mind fighting in a lower class on the same track and being lapped 10+ times in a race, e.g. by prototypes while driving a GT2-car.


However, there are times where just keeping up with the last car can be a nightmare, and I find these races being the most mentally exhausting ones, being on your toes on every corner, every lap can be the hardest thing even if it's just 15 or 30 minutes or so. If one wants to try his hands at that - Forza Motorsport 4, No wheel/only pad driving, Maserati MC12 GT1-version, no setup or tuning, no driving aids, Mugello (long version). Sometimes I manage to hang on to third place or so, but more often than not I end up somewhere off track on a gravel trap adventure … and this can make me go from "yeah let's race!" to "too exhausted for more" in less than 20 minutes.
