Not sure if you mentioned Motorsports Manager for $11.59. One heck of a game, but (thankfully) not quite as detailed as Football Manager.

Star Trek™: Bridge Crew for half price.

[edit]
Have to make comparison with Artemis here. Artemis with enough of computers and players in the same room is immense & immerse experience. Bridge Crew seems to try to achieve the same experience in VR regardless of geographical location of the players. In short: Artemis for LAN parties, cons, and the likes; Bridge Crew at your home. And official Star Trek trademark certainly helps.

"DiRT 4" is on sale at 33% off! [:)] Sale ends September 4th! From the developers: "Motorsport by its very nature is dangerous. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. And more than that, it’s about loving that feeling. It’s about pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop. Going for the gap that’s slightly too small. Seeing how much air you can get in a truck. They call it ‘being fearless’.

DiRT 4 also features a game-changing system called Your Stage; an innovative rally route creation tool that allows you to produce an almost-infinite number of unique stages at the press of a button. You choose your location and set the route parameters, then Your Stage does the hard work to create a unique rally stage that you can race, share with your friends and then challenge them to beat your time. Your Stage allows experienced rally players to create longer, more technical routes, whilst newcomers can create simpler shorter routes as they hone their skills.

With DiRT 4, Codemasters have sought to combine the levels of thrill and realism from last year’s DiRT Rally with the fearless excitement, accessibility and adrenaline-fuelled races previously seen in its critically acclaimed prequels DiRT 2 and DiRT 3.

Featuring classic rally racing that continues to build on the foundations set by the Colin McRae Rally games, the bruising contests from the official FIA World Rallycross Championship, the crazy battles of racing trucks and buggies, and the outrageous fun of open events in Joyride, players will face challenges from locations that span three continents."
