Looking for advice. What is the "best" (I realize this is very subjective) racing game for the PC that also has a full cockpit view as did, for example, NFS 3? Thanks for any info.

It has the best cockpit graphics of any current game. The full version is only currently available in Germany though, with a worldwide release in Jan/Feb.

What is great about Live for Speed is the dynamic viewing direction, with the view looking into corners and into skids when you correct. It can sometimes get a bit confusing if you are going lock to lock, but generally works really well and you miss it immensely when back in a sim with a static view. A dynamic view direction can also be added to Grand Prix Legends with a nifty little hack. Don't know about the Nascar series.

Have to disagree this dosnt grab me as the best cockpit graphics, looks awful. http://www.djsmove.de/gtr2/GTR%202004-11-03%2009-06-20-59.JPG --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

For road racing give SCC a shot... Kevin (aka tlgtr) **** Zip slowly, medical statistics show that over 100,000 people are injured annually by their clothing.

OK, thanks to all for these recommendations. I will definitely check these out.
