Looking for a Macintosh Racing Game?

I posted awhile back the same question and I didn't recieve one response.
Is it possible there is nothing on the market for the Mac besides Ferrari
Grand Prix Challenge and Bill Elliot Nascar Racing.
        I was informed if I loaded a program called PC Soft Windows on my Mac
this would change the interface to allow the playing of PC related games.
Is this true? As anyone tried this? I'm dying to try something else and I'm not
interested in buying a Pc just to play games. I specialize in graphic design
and the Mac is the only way to go in this field so this is my reason why.

From what I heard, Nascar Racing will be released for the Mac at the
same time that the new Win 95 version is released.  I don't think
there is any way that you can use Soft Windows to run the DOS version
of NR because I believe SoftWindows emulates a 386, doesn't it?  I
think the Mac version is slated to be released in early spring '96.

The closest I've done to trying this was running SoftPC on my LCIII to
run Indy 500.  It was so slow it was impossible to play.
