Well this one caught me by surprise, F1 2015 looks like it may actually come to Linux & SteamOS which will give us another more realistic racing game.
You can see the big entry on SteamDB where Linux and Mac content is being added.
Quotelaunch/5/config/oslist: linux
launch/5/executable: f12015.sh
launch/5/type: none
While it is a major game, it has "Mostly Negative" reviews on Steam. It sounds like it's a pretty buggy game, so if whoever is doing the Linux version manages to fix it up a bit, it could turn out to be a lot better for us. It could also be coming along with a new patch for the game overall, if so then everyone would win.

Nice with another big title on the way.
Now, if only I enjoyed racing-games everything would be great. I suppose it might be a bit odd... I do enjoy driving cars in games and I do enjoy participating in car-races in games...but I still don't really care for racing games. :P

Do you mean racing games as in professional sport racing or all genres including kart racing games? I could totally understand not holding interest in pro racing as it parallels other sports genres ( I don't like sports games in general).

Pretty much all & every kind of racing game. I guess for me racing is something like a "side-dish", it goes great together with the many "main courses" of other game-genrés but by itself it always leaves me wanting to step out of the game-vehicle and pursue some other activity. ;)

Yes! Now please Dirt Rally also!
If Codemasters porting this game, I see no reason why they wouldn't do Dirt Rally as well.

I really hope so. With buying Grid Autosport my gaming budget for the next two months is down to zero, but I got Dirt Rally as a gift already, so if there will be a port I would really be happy about that.Yes! Now please Dirt Rally also!

Cool. As with Batman, hopefully by the time we get it on Linux the game is in a much better state than it was at release on Windows and the weeks after that.
More importantly, let me join everybody else in here saying please port Dirt Rally. Pretty please with a cherry on top.

I wasn't a racing sim guru for sure, but I can imagine a lot of linux folks higher up in the ranks would be into this kind of game.
It's nice to have the selection, definitely worth a look but not 4 me i think.

Good news, I stopped buying the F1 games, and many others when switched to Linux.
As some comments have said before, DIRT Rally would be great.

Unfortunately, game is not optimized for Windows. So, we can expect even more problem and bad optimization on Steam OS.

Haven't enjoyed an F1 sim since I played the crap out of Microprose's F1GP 2 in the late nineties.

The PC version got a meta score of 58. This game is extremely likely not worth your time almost regardless of price.

The PC version got a meta score of 58. This game is extremely likely not worth your time almost regardless of price.The game was released pretty buggy, crashing all the time. From what I have read it was fixed later with patches and now works fine. This might explain the low score.
