What do you consider the best car racing game to be? The Need 4 Speed games are the best ones I have found.

I'm not much into racing games, but I'd have to agree. Need 4 Speed is great.

The absolute best game, however, is Gran Turismo. That game just rocks. But, it's only on PlayStation. You could get an emulator if you really want to play it.

Grand Prix Legends is the best of all time. For a more recent sim i would say Nascar4.

NFS4 is one of the best... grand prix legends is not! a good toy style game where gamepley is amazing and realism is not is stunt gp... not quite a racer... but is centred around races with different sums of money for the numbers of stunts you do and the like on the jumps... as i said not realistic but unbelievably addictive...

you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

*UPDATE*
The best racing game of all time is now <i>Gran Turismo 3</i>!!!
No comparisons.

Looks like you've played it... I don't know why I am sitting here rather than in my car going to the store :smile:

How is it ? Best improvement ?

Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec! Nothing even comes close gameplay or graphically and I don't care what GeForce card you have!

I have done some programing for the Playstation 2, It's not all that, I did some car models for Gt3 and by far the pc is superior, I know because you haven't seen the upcoming Xbox racers that will be ported to the pc I've been working on. Taking advantage of the geforce 3's features. I'm sorry I just had to clear that up.

Let me clean something up. Right now (July 14) Gran Turismo 3 is the best racing game ever made. Of course as time passes better looking racers will come out. But I doubt it will play half as well as GT3. This is the third in the series and the PC platform as had games that look better than the perivous versions of GT but none of them handled or had as much work put in them like GT does.

Its so good that I can't even explain it!! You'll just have to play it for yourself!! You won't be disappointed!!!
Well, all I can tell you is take everything you loved in GT 1 & 2, kick it up about 10 notches, add more tracks, more cars, better graphics, fantastic control/handling--and you got yourself the best gameplaying racer to this date!!!

Ever try the Toyko Extreme Racer series. Its on the DC and the latest is on the PS2. Personally I prefer racers on consoles then on the comp. Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero(TERZ) on the PS2 is great. I have yet to play GT3, but I dont know how well it will compare to TERZ

Screw overclocking my comps got <font color=red>NOS</font color=red>! Point and click interface by Smith and Wesson
