Thus, the demand increased by 2.3 times compared to the previous year. For example, the game Asseto Corsa took the lead, increasing interest by 352%. The Formula 1 series was in second place with a 54% increase in demand, and Need for Speed was in third place with a 32% increase in demand.
According to experts, bloggers and the media play an important role in all this – they are the ones who made car simulators popular among amateur racers in Russia.
Many make quality documentaries and reviews about legendary race cars of the past.
Also, experts add that another reason for the growing popularity of simulators is the lack of new automotive innovations in the media space.
Car dealerships are mostly filled with Chinese family crossovers, which are admittedly good cars but lack cult and sporting status.
In this case, games become almost the only way to get acquainted with the latest developments in the automotive industry.
