if you mean drivers, i reccomend Markus "Maaki" Stiepel or EV Phelps as
being very good to race with, but there are countless other good guys, these
two are the ones I have memories of :o)

Papyrus is the king of online play and offer the most drivers of any car
sim competitor.

GPL is #1 for smoothness.  20 drivers per race is fantastic!
Nascar3 is #2 for a whopping 32 drivers per race!!

MS and Ratbag titles are excellent online. The NASCAR titles by Papyrus are
excellent too.

Your question is too open-ended -- what kinds of racing do you like?
If you're into NASCAR, then NASCAR 3 from Sierra/Papyrus is good for
online play.  If you like ovals but prefer dirt tracks, then Dirt Track
Racing from Wizard Works/Ratbag is one to look at because it offers
very good online action and a huge online community of racers.  If you
like open-wheel Grand Prix-style road racing, I'd recommend Grand Prix
Legends from Sierra/Papyrus (GPL is the acknowledged "king" of racing
sims around here, but it's definitely a *** simulation).

Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed has good, convincing-yet-accessible
physics -- it does NOT yet offer any online multiplayer (except via
direct IP), but Electronic Arts is currently conducting further online
beta testing with it, so it may emerge as a good online Internet
racer.  For now, though, the top dogs are N3, DTR, and GPL.

GPL is the best (IMHO)

It seems to work excellently for everyone who isn't called David G
Fisher :-)

Leave it Andre, now amount of evidence will ever convince D.G.F that GPL

DGF. One day... he will see the light!

Given the occasional volatility we see around here, I often expect to be
flamed for being so level-headed!

;-)

On the other hand, if it weren't for friction, there could be no
traction . . . <G>
