Need for Speed: Carbon

My 5 best Racing games are:
Need for Speed
NFS Carbon
Gran Turismo 4
Crazy Taxi
Blur

None...

The best racing game would be...
Drift's Visuals + Damage system
NFS: Underground's customization
Grand Turismo's Car list
Grand Turismo's Physics
TDU2's environment (less the bugs that came with the game).
TDU2's compatibility with Logitech G25/35 steering wheel.

Now that would be a great game.

Gran Turismo had physics? The car is practically glued to the road at all times =(.

I tried the demo of Grand Turismo 5 (on XBOX) and I was amazed at how the physics played out (aside from the whole bumper car when hitting other vehicles). But the suspension on the car and feel of gameplay (on a steering wheel) was spot on (for realism) IMO.

Nobody going with Trackmania? Love that game!

I am a bit biased here but there i go:

1.Need for speed Porshe Unleashed
2.Trackmania 1
3.Need for speed Carbon
4.Need for speed underground 1 & 2
5.Split Second

(i dont really know that many)

...now where have those days gone?
