SacrificialSoldier Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 NFS Carbon is one of the best FlatOut 2 is also good Test Drive Unlimited looks good Formula 1 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/547730-best-racing-games/#findComment-588410782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorgDrone Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Trackmania United if your after an arcade racer. GTR2 if you want a simulation. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/547730-best-racing-games/#findComment-588411400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey1138 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 - Nascar 2003 for PC (the last one by Papyrus) lots of mods and online play, league, if you tweak with the options you can get very accurate car AI, has a great underground following. Probebly one of the best PC simulator for racing. - Formula 1 for PC - Colin McRae Rally (almost any of them) for PC - project gotham racing 3 for xbox360 (lots of online play and very accurate car AI) NFS games are fun but are unrealistic and have been since EA bought them. The best was the first one. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/547730-best-racing-games/#findComment-588411428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjb1118 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 If you're after a racing simulator, the best (in my opinion) is Live for Speed, by far. It also has the BMW Sauber Formula 1 car in it. It might take you some time to learn, but it's really fun, and there's some great racing available online.

dj6ross Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 - Nascar 2003 for PC (the last one by Papyrus) lots of mods and online play, league, if you tweak with the options you can get very accurate car AI, has a great underground following. Probebly one of the best PC simulator for racing. 100% right about that. The game can only be found on ebay or amazon and places like that as it is no longer made. Be prepared to pay over $100. I'm glad I got my copy when it was new for only $40 :) I'll recommend Rfactor so MANY mods you wouldnt believe it. I would recommend this game and download these mods: GrandPrix 1979 F1 2005 CTDP (best F1 out there) V8 Supercars Off Road Racing (like CORR Trucks awesome fun) TPSCC (Stock Car mod) pretty decent SCE (StockCarEvolution) pretty decent Intercontinental A Karting v11 FIA GT mod (GTR2 except in rfactor) Most can be found at rFactor Central Bunch of other good ones. If you end up getting NascarRacing 2003 Season, head over to www.sim500.com and signup. Every Monday you can go there and watch the races broadcasted live, just like in real life. I would know because I drive over there :) These are all Simulation stuff too. No Need For Speed arcade here, but try it out. I know a free trial of rFactor is two days maybe, so try it see if you like it.

Sockie Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Flat Out 2 is great fun and looks amazing. Other than that Test Drive Unlimited will be my next purchase.

Orange Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Can't believe no one said Live For Speed. It's one of the best sim racing games. Need For Speed is a stupid pop fake game. Shouldn't even be put in the same line as "racing" anyways try Live For Speed!

Lingwo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well i recommend Live for Speed also. I used to think GTR2 was great but after playing Live For Speed... totally blows it out the water. I got a Logitech G25 the other day and using that wheel in this game, it is perfect.... it is so well implemented.

But any thoughts? liveforspeed.net - Live for Speed (digital download) Free Game; more cars with purchase of game rfactor.net - rFactor (digital download) atari.com - Test Drive Unlimited (digital download) codemasters.com - TOCA Race Driver 3 (digital download) The GTR series is great, and GTR2 is too. if you want arcade-y type racing.... play the Need for Speed, or just play some of the game simulations above to get a real car fix.

Martyn Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Grr...cant believe they have discontinued F1 games for the PC. I think the last one was the career challenge game from EA, there are some updated mods for it but they only take it so far, I would prefer a new game :(.

VipeNess Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 i got you all beat...... STUNTS! a buddy of mine, his dad, and I found exploits in building tracks, then when you landed would launch you at topspeed no matter what, we would play for weeks and weeks on end to beat each others score; which my score is still on top.
