Heres what i think:

Suprises (higher placed than i thought):
Viper Racing
Colin McRae
Slicks 'n' Slide (its a classic tho!)

Suprises (lower placed than i thought):
Leadfoot
Spirit Of Speed 1937
Monster Truck Madness
Mercedes Benz Truck Racing

Obvious ones:
Grand Prix Legends (duh!)

What people might find controversial:
Live For Speed

The Golden Goose award for a game that had big hopes on the developer and
player side but flopped in a big way:
A Tie between:
Spirit Of Speed 1937 & NASCAR Legends

Alltime classic award:
Indy 500: The Simulation
    Runner ups:
        Grand Prix Legends
        Stunts

We hope Luke will instigate a similar poll in a few months, then we'll
announce it on the front of RSC and here in RAS to hopefully make even more
people vote. We should also change the format so people could give points to
e.g. 5 sims (10, 6, 4, 2 & 1 point)
That should give a better picture of people favourite sims.

Gran Turismo.

Bad support by the company.

Again.

It was fun a couple of year ago, yeah.

I don't know why it's not as popular as it should be.  It's a solid title.
Perhaps it's not enough customiseable.  Perhaps it lacks in multiplayer.

NASCAR Legends is one of the most solid title ever. It was just badly
marketed, and released at the same time as another Papyrus title. :(

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

oh, and sorry for the critics, i did not put on my flame-suite before
entering gpl.autos.simulators ;)

LFS in second place is in my view a good thing as it shows that we have
somethning really good to hope for in the future.
The thing I wonder most about is why Racer is not places higher despite
being "our" own simulation.... guess the lack of multiplayer and AI really
kills it ?

Anyways hope Luke will instigate a polling in a few months again....

   And how about 1NSANE?, that's a lot of fun.

   Otherwise, interesting poll, thanks for posting.

nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
