This is the most accessible DNS database online, as it does not require login or payment.

They have reasonable data. It's not fully complete as Ciro Santilli saw on CIA 2010 covert communication websites, but it is very valuable.

Tested as of 2025, they seem to have removed the pre-IP checks on web interface, and just instead use Cloudfare to check that you are human from time to time, which allows for a lot manual searching to be done! Awesome!

Previously, tou could only get about 250 queries on the web interface, then 250 queries per free account via API. They check your IP when you signup, and you can't sign in twice from the same IP. They also state that Tor addresses are blacklisted. They also normalize dots in gmail addresses, so you need more diverse email accounts. But they haven't covered the .gmail vs .googlemail trick.

Their data is also quite disjoint from the data of the 2013 DNS Census. There is some overlap, but clearly their methodology is very different. Some times they slot into one another almost perfectly.

www.reddit.com/r/simracing/comments/1xnoqf/anyone_played_with_open_source_sims/ has some good comments:
TORCS was apparently coded at the beginning of time for research into AI, car setups, etc. and is actually still actively developed today as people are still publishing papers and doing work with it. I think Speed Dreams was an attempt to improve the "game" aspect of it, but it looks like it has fallen off in terms of active development.
and
Downloaded TORCS and the physics feel pretty bizzaro. I can tell there are parts they are getting right, but they are overshadowed by some pretty ridiculous feeling behavior

Rigs of Rods 2022.12 had some promise as a fun simulator, and seems to have multiplayer and a way to find user created content online. But it is just too cluncky to get started with.

God can't we just have something that runs and is mildly fun to play with already?

github.com/pmndrs/racing-game finally seems to have the focus of being immediately fun. And it runs on browser. But the physics are completely broken, you go through the floor basically everywhere, and going over any bump sends you flying no matter your speed.
