Where are the 3D-accelerated race sims?

As a long-time flight sim hobbyist who occasionally dabbles in other
genres, I'm interested in buying a realistic auto racing sim.  No arcade
games need apply.

I have a 3Dfx Voodoo installed in my P133, and I'm not going to torture
myself with a simulation that doesn't take advantage of it.  The vacuum
where the 3D flight sims ought to be is painful enough.

So what racing simulation should I be on the lookout for?  What will be
the first 3D-accelerated racing sim to used Direct3D or GLide or Open GL
that I can run on my Voodoo?  I don't have enough experience with this
genre to know whether I'll prefer Indycar-style racing or Grand Prix
courses or stock cars or what, so I'm open to anything -- as long as it's
detailed, realistic, and deep.

(Verite owners may refrain from chortling about Nascar2 and Indycar2,
thank you. <g>)

Well the only one I can think of is Starting Grid, which I believe is
suppose to support D3D.    Of course, I haven't heard anything about
it since December, so not sure if they are still working on it.   It
_sounded_  promising anyway. :-)
