- 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.

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:

  1. GrandPrix 1979
  2. F1 2005 CTDP (best F1 out there)
  3. V8 Supercars
  4. Off Road Racing (like CORR Trucks awesome fun)
  5. TPSCC (Stock Car mod) pretty decent
  6. SCE (StockCarEvolution) pretty decent
  7. Intercontinental A Karting v11
  8. 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.

ditto- i purchased rfactor a few days ago- and by far this is the best real racing simulator available. the Formula1 mods are soo many and the vast amount of racing tracks available is phenominal.. ?25 well spent for me- and i cant believe the amazing community behind rfactor... soo much good skill from these mod creators.:DD

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!
If you're after a racing simulator, the best (in my opinion) is Live for Speed.....

:p.

Can someone recommend some good racing games? I've played all of the Need 4 Speeds.. I really wanna get into some F1 Racing games or maybe some Simulation not sure.. 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.
