Is there any realistic autocross game for video console, computer, tablet or iPhone??

Looking for something to help train my eyes to seeing and reacting better to the maze of cones .........

Not that I know of but Id play it if there is
Have you tried watching youtube videos and learning the course that way. Its much harder to see the course on a video so if you get good at seeing it there, in real life it should be easier.
Looking to "grease the groove" i see

Too bad with all the racing games that there isn't any AutoX

Forza motorsports 4 on xbox 360, Usually if I have a time before going to race I hop on the game to get used to looking ahead.

Forza 5 and Forza 6 for Xbox One also have autocross events. Good for practicing looking ahead, although the courses are mostly cones on a real race track, so you don't have the cones of the other part of the course in your peripheral and such that we often do in a real autocross.

Thanks guys, will check it out.

I've played one of my kids game...."Live for Speed". It actually does help you look forward and look for the cones. Here is a sample I found on Youtube:

Sad to say, but that's the best autocross video game I've ever seen. The graphics were pretty bad by modern standards, but at least it looked like a real course.

Forza isn't really autocross.

which ones let you put in your own courses?


I have GPS data

That looks great!!
Guess I have to find out what system it runs on? Was hoping for one that worked on an iPad.

My kid has a video game racing seat with steering wheel, brake pedals, shifter, etc and it was actually pretty realistic in the sense that you could feel the understeer, etc through the feedback steering wheel. I generally hate video game road course racing but this seemed a lot more realistic and usable to me.
If you pop for the seat with the steering wheel and foot pedals, it is much more useful since you learn eye, hand and foot coordination that you don't get on an ipad or just using your thumbs....IMHO.

Been road racing since 2006. So what I really need is help in visualizing the cones and course. It would be nice to have the setup your kid has but having this on any platform should be helpful for me.

The only thing I can think if that helps is just doing a lot of autocrosses. Some organizations use very few cones which in most cases helps reduce the confusion. Clubs that are well financed tend to overdo the cones and you get the sea of cones vision. Once you do a bunch of them it gets much easier to recognize where you need to go. Other peoples videos usually don't give a proper sight picture so it is hard to use them since the field of view is so limited.

Even it doesn't give a good picture of where to go.

Only able to get to 1 autoX a month so just looking for anything to speed up the visualization process.

The last few versions of Gran Turismo have used cone setups for some of the "license test" parts of the game, but the majority is still going to be track based
