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!)
Readers list their top ten racing games
Freddie asked readers to list their ten best racing games. Grand Prix Legends topped nearly every list, followed by NR2002, Viper Racing, Sports Car GT, F1 2002, Rally Trophy and Live for Speed, with console titles like Gran Turismo 3 and Ferrari F355 and classics such as Indy 500 and Hard Drivin' also cited. The thread was a friendly tally of favourites.
Automated summary.
1. Racing Legends
Sorry couldn't resist. :0)
1. F1 2002
2. GPL
3. N2002
3. Ferrari F355 (Dreamcast)
5. NFS Porsche Unleashed
6. SCGT
7. Mobil 1 Rally
8. Megarace (not really; it may be the WORST racer ever).
That's about it, couldn't get to 10.

And where is F355 for Dreamcast or Ps2? What about 24LeMans on Dreamcast?
And Gt3 for Ps2?

Probably not all "pure racing" sims, but pretty good in my opinion!
1. GT3 (no, really).
2. Porsche Unleashed (PC)
3. SCGT (PC)
4. STTC2 (PC) (should really put this higher).
5. Rally Trophy (PC) (I think this makes CMR2 suck!;)
6. WRC (PS/2) (with logitech steering wheel).
7. TOCA Race driver (PS/2) ~ turn on all the damage/sim stuff and use a
steering wheel.
8. SBK20001 (PC)
9. F355 (PS/2) ~ still getting in to this.
10. EVO 4x4 with a limitless budget.
Feel free to bag this selection!

I played that all the way through college...
Never did get good at it, it was sooo hard. And the setup menus were
incredibly complex!
Fantastic game and definitely a pure racer!

smooth, and very very cool. I love Buggy & Stadium truck racing.

I ran well into the 230s with every car and ran a 242 with the
Lola-Buick. Finished 1 500 mile race... lots of attrition and only
driver who was with me in the last 100 miles was Mario. (hmm aside
from Mario, it sounds just like the '89 500). I went home everyday
from high school and played it.
My favourite part was starting 33rd and seeing how many places I could
make up on the first lap. I think I got a high of 7th or 8th at the
end of lap 1. I do the same thing with GPL now. But Jimmy Clark
isn't too forgiving.

Cant put them in order because they were all my favorite at one time or
another
*GPL - Does it need a reason?
*SCGT - The increidble mods that came and still come out for it
*N2002 - Best physics in any game to date
*Rally Trophy - Love that Mk1 cortina! Plus it has the most realistic feel
to any rally game
*Test Drive 3 - It came out in 90 i think and blew my mind, you could drive
anywhere you wanted.. dont know what happened to the series after that
*Indy 500 - The grand daddy of realistic sims :)
*Stunts - I still have this installed on my h/d somewhere, i wish somebody
would make a stunts 2
*GP2 - Revolutionary at the time, and is still the base for GP4
*Stunt Car Racer - C64 madness! I have the pc version somewhere
*Viper Racing - Just an absolute blast!
Honorable mentions to:
F1 2001 & 2(most boring racing series in the world, but good for mods)
Gran Tourismo (ugh)
LFS (its only a alpha demo still!)
Hard Drivin
Burnout PCE/NIRA (Engine physics like all racing games should have, pitty
bout the rest)
SODA (Should have been more)

I'll second Hard Drivin'/Race Drivin' by Atari. I believe I spent $1000 in
quarters in those two :)
The most realistic powerslide-FF effects ever done.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Mk I, the Mk II, and the 16V versions in your game? I'd love to drive again
my old silver '85 Scirocco, with no synchromesh on 2nd gear so you had to
double-clutch... always wanted to drop a VR6 in that thing...

Dave,
I am afraid thats not the subject of the game ;). I'd love to see a VW
sirocco in it somewhere though :). Its from the "Sirocco Works" in Belfast,
that I used to pass every day into work. They have knocked it down now :/.
Just liked the word, dunno why. A little shallow, but hey :).
A VR6 would be nice, although probably a Corrado VR6 would fill that void
nicely :)
All the best,
Ash

2. FIA GT V3
3. ... I'm sorry, are there other racing games?
It's just that I spend all my time developing with the SBDT and don't
actually play any other racing games. Woe is me.

Oh, wait ... I think I played that EA F1 game recently ... =\ ?
