Default Most realistic sim today?

Haven't played a lot of sim racing lately but have some time to get
back into it.

What are the most realistic sims right now? Would this be accurate?
(1) GPL
(2) rFactor
(3) Live For Speed

Where does GTR and GT Legends fit?

1) GTR
2) rFactor (if fictitious tracks/cars are OK with you)
3) NR2003

GPL is still a hoot, but its' physics model, especially with regard to
response to setup changes, is not as realistic as the above.

Let the games begin.

Where would LFS stand?

Where can I get GTR? Isn't GT Legends the same thing?

I should add that I didn't rank GT Legends because I haven't played it
yet, but based on the demo I think it would be fighting for the top
spot with the other 4 here. The GPL69 mod should rank well when it's
finished, altho I'd probably dock it points if it has the Lotus 49b
I've seen in the screenshots of it (the one I've seen is the low front
wing/high rear wing config which raced maybe once in 69 - altho I kinda
think they were running both high wings at Spain when Hill/Rindt went
off).

Depends on your definition of "realistic". Is a sim full of non-existing
cars and tracks, and full of "possibilities" something realistic? More on
that in 6 months <vbg>

No. If you count on just and *only* just the physics, it would be something
like 1) RBR, 2) RBR 3) RBR

In the "ISI has yet to correct problems they had 5 years ago" list ;-)
