Ok, here goes...
I am trying to compile a list of the 10 best racing games ever. I don't
really want to get into slanging matches about each others choices, just
interested to see how others lists compare with mine.
If we can all be nice to each other, then I'll begin...

1. GPL
2.N2002
3. Geoff Crammonds GP series, when they've been tweaked, patched and
generally customised.
4. Toca2
5. Colin McRae 2
6. F1 Racing Simulation
7. Indy 500 - Amiga based
8. GT2 - PS2 (sorry)
9. ICR2 by Papyrus
10. Cart Precision Racing (not really!)

...er, thats it. Not many really good ones is there for 20 years of home
computing (Revs is just too old really)

let me know yours (I'm sure you will!)

What was the Porsche Boxster game on the PSX - I owned it once and loved
it - it was the first game I played with a wheel.
