Content manager is nice because it skips the loading screens/credits getting you in game quicker.

No one will ever read this but I recommend this game

(There will be a TLDR at the bottom, but I'd recommend reading through if you're seriously considering this game.)
First off, the number of hours here is exclusively actual driving, as I use a different launcher which doesn't track the huge number of hours modding or setting up.
In short, Assetto Corsa is in my opinion the best overall racing simulator on PC right now. It's worth waiting for a sale and getting the version with all of the DLC. However, it is nowhere near its full potential right out of the box.
Assetto Corsa as it is from Kunos (the developers) is a good simulator with a decent selection of cars and arguably limited number of tracks. It doesn't have night and it doesn't have weather, and the graphics are pretty good but nothing amazing. Its greatest strengths are the force feedback for steering wheels and the very realistic physics of the cars, especially the tyres.
However, boy oh boy can it get so much better. Like we're talking a 7/10 to a 9 or 9.5/10 kind of a difference.
See, to truly get the most out of Assetto Corsa you will need to mod it a bit. I promise even if you're not that technical or good with computers, it is one of the easiest games to mod I have ever encountered.
Here's what you'll need to do:
1. Most Important: Google 'Assetto Corsa Content Manager' and download it. This is a replacement launcher that adds an amazing amount of new content to the game, all for free.
2. Within Content Manager, install the Custom Shaders Patch under settings. This adds a whole stack of stuff to the game, including dynamic lighting, 24 hr days (so it literally adds night driving to a game that was never intended to have it) and more physics features, all configurable
3. Google 'Race Department' and search for 'Sol' within the website. RaceDepartment has an enormous number of mods for Assetto Corsa that add literally thousands of new tracks and cars to the game. But Sol is a mod that adds weather to the game as well as a bunch of visual improvements.
4. Go to RaceDepartment and download whatever cars and tracks you want, there are thousands.
If you ever need help, look at the r/asssettocorsa subreddit, or go on the RaceDepartment forums. It's pretty amazing that just with mods, the community has greatly improved graphics, added night driving and added a detailed weather system, as well as a stack of cars and tracks.
The VR support is also 10/10, so immersive. You will definitely need a wheel to play this game, controller support is terrible to the point where I can't recommend it for keyboard or controller. I use a Logitech G920 wheel.
TLDR: Wait for a sale, then buy the version with all the DLC. You need a wheel, controller support is rubbish. VR support is great. The game is massively improved with mods, specifically Content Manager (with Custom Shaders Patch) and Sol. They add night, weather, better physics and better graphics. Great game, my favourite racing simulator.

Assetto Corsa. In short, buy this game if you have a wheel, and if it's on sale, but only buy the ultimate edition. The base game itself is very lacking in content. So I recommend you get Content Manager too. It makes downloading mods much easier. You probably also want a lot of mods, since the number of cars are limited in the base game. Here's some sites I recommend:
Race Department
AC Drifting Pro
AC Mods
Assetto Corsa Club
Assetto Corsa Mods
Sim Traxx
These are just what I recommend. There's lots of more websites.

you can download a shopping cart mod.
