Good Racing sims?

Hey guys, what are some good racing sims? i already have Nascar 4 and NFS Porshce Unleashed. Looking for something that is fun to drive. thanks in advance!

Hi Danked, Grand Prix Legends (GPL) is the *BEST* GPL, IMO (and alot of other peoples in here). It isnt exactly fun to drive, AT FIRST, but once you start to get the hang of it, it is an awesome experience to race online with 19 other drivers, a couple of metres apart. It will take you weeks / months to start to get the hang of it, but perservere and you will have the best racing experience on the PC. F1 2001 is also very good, but lacks decent online support and Force Feedback (as yet). Rally Trophy is quite fun too. Sports Car GT is good fun and there are 100's of new cars and tracks out there to make it whatever game you like. Hope this helps a bit :) All the best, Ash DISCLAIMER : all the above statements are my opinion - no flamewars please :) "Danked420" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:neWK7.119142$[email hidden]...

GPL, Mercedes Benz Truck Racing, F1 2001, Superbike 2001. Can't go wrong with any of those :) Out of those MBTR would be the one with the highest instant 'fun' factor. GPL has the medium and long term fun and the best online play. All depends what you're looking for. "Danked420" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:neWK7.119142$[email hidden]...

Nascar 4 is the best in my opinion. Better out of the box experience without adding 2 zillion updates and patches. Next would be Grand Prix Legends it would be first on my list but well its getting a little long in the tooth thus the need for patches and graphical updates. The addons are endless with GPL but better be prepared to spend every waking hour to practice before you actually will have fun with it. I prefer the door to door action of N4 and hot lap GPL as I have a life, wife and Harley that needs my attention. :).

If you're not strictly looking for car sims, another game that strikes that balance perfectly is Motocross Madness 2. Online play is a blast, too. If it's gotta be a car, I'd suggest Colin McRae Rally 2. Tim

Yep, I gotta agree with Porsche Unleashed, pretty decent sim / game IMO. I dont really like CMR2, but I think thats just personal preference, other people really love it. All the best, Ash

If only there was a track editor for NFS:PU.... that would just be great. Ashley McConnell wrote:

I will go with that, but I want to see more Porsches, some of the 70's racing card would be nice (OK, I admit, I want to drive the 917, long time fastest racing car in the world!) Tsunami Once upon a time andrew <[email hidden]> scribed carefully:

It would be fantastic if the PU engine was used for another sim with different cars... We need more tracks! Tsunami wrote:
