You can also use Crossover/Wineskin/PlayOnMac/Porting Kit solutions to run Windows games on macOS. But of course, with an Intel Mac, you could also just create a Bootcamp partition for Windows, and you literally just reboot and have a PC haha – as I understand, basically no performance penalty versus an identical-spec PC, especially if you install the unofficial BootCamp Drivers.
The VM approach means I don't have to shut down macOS, but comes at a performance cost. I should mention – you can connect whatever USB device (like a wheel and pedals!) to the Mac and VMware asks if you'd like to "pass it through" to the VM, and if you say yes and have your wheel drivers installed on Windows, everything just works in my experience. Have long been curious about how AC would fare, but haven't tried yet. And I only have a Radeon Pro 580X in my iMac! With a GPU that was actually capable (lol) performance would be way better again. Otherwise, the older sims I love like AMS, GTR2, NR2003, GP4, and RaceRoom run without glitches and quite well. My solution – I boot a Windows virtual machine (VM) using VMware Fusion, sim race in there, and store the Steam folder on an external drive! Only issue I've had is with RBR (for god knows what reason). Longtime Intel Mac user but found myself wanting to sim race on PC again a few years ago. So only just found this, but thought I'd put my two cents in.
