I have been gone from computer racing for nearly a year or just over.
It's been so long I don't remember. I am thinking about getting back
into it all and was wondering if someone could help me get back up to
speed.
I'd like to take the approach that I don't know anything at all and
would like information on where a complete newbie would start. I like
all forms of racing. What are the community standard games? What game
or games should I consider buying?

rFactor
GT Legends
GTR
Grand Prix Legends (still going strong with great recent mods)
Nascar 2003 (if you can find it)
Richard Burns Rally
Live for Speed (pretty fun for the online and interesting features like
tire flat-spotting)
Most have demos so you can try before you buy.
HTH!

rFactor is the newest offering from ISI, who did F1 Challenge for
EA. F1C is still around and have a slew of cool mods. Not that popular
online either, though. rFactor is all the hype these days. Built for
modding and could be all you ever asked for, but aparantly not yet. Good
online code, though.
GPL is still around. Cool mods, great online and still devilishly
difficult to drive. My prefered choice.
Another Papy gem, NASCAR2003 is also still around. Competes with F1C for
most outrageous price on eBay. The GTP mod is nice and popular. Don't
ask me where the online racing is done, since VROC is kind of dead as
far as N2003 is concerned.
If you don't want a sim, and stil don't mind the Starforce scheme of
messing with your computer in order to allow you not to copy a game,
Codemasters TOCA3 is around and is a fun acade driver.
Richard Burns Rally is the king of the hill in the WRC schene. Rally is
great fun.
Hope that helped, and completed whatever info everyone else might have
posted.
