Poll: Best and Worst racing game interface ?

With interface design I mean the way the menues and dialogs are designed.
How easy is it to find what you want, and how fast can one select settings
and get a race going ?

Here is my list, from Best to Worst :

-Viper Racing  (race again, one click, 3-2-1...go)
-Powerslide.
-Colin Mcrae Rally
-NFS
-RC2000 (way too many sub levels..)
-TOCA2 (Pling-ding, pling-ding, pling-ding, pling-ding, pling-ding,
pling-ding, pling-ding, pling-ding, ARRRGGHH ;-)

Sometimes you wonder if the designers ever play the games themselves ?
The number of pages you have to go through in Toca to start a game is just
ridiculous !

Oh god!  Don't remind me.  I like playing TOCA2, but by the time I get to
the race, I'm wore out from going throught those damn menus.  And for god
sake, have they ever heard of a MOUSE!

Regarding Toca2... And it's annoying Pling-Dings....

Isn't there a patch somewhere that removes that noise?? Or replaces it with
something less annoying like "click" rather than "ding" ????

Yep! It's called "volume knob". ;-p
