When you think about it, Sim Racing is a bit of a weird term. Most people use sim racing to describe any sort of racing game, from the most serious simulation focused titles like RFactor and iRacing to fun titles like Mario Kart. So, sim racing, is a... simulation of racing.
But for some reason, more "hardcore" sim racers use the term to validate the quality of the simulation between the various types of driving games: arcade, racing sim, and sim-cade. Arcade games are those that place more importance on gaming aspects than simulation, while racing sims place more emphasis on simulation, often at the expense of the gaming experience. And sim-cade is supposed to describe certain titles that sit somewhere in the middle.
