Best-looking racing game?

Out of every racing game on PC, no matter what type or style of racing, which one do you think looks the absolute best overall? I'm talking the best graphics and with all of the fancy features like HDR, motion blur, and so on and so forth.

I've yet to see Dirt 3, so I'll vote Dirt 2 (which is also one of the first games to support DX11 enhancements). Still looks great. Though modded NFS Shift looks quite decent with the HD mods, I still feel Dirt takes the cake thus far.

Despite the other elements, NFS: Hot Pursuit is pretty much a racing game, and has amazing visuals that run well. Don't get me started on the poor physics though. But there are plenty of street race type situations, as well as time attack scenarios. Meh, maybe not purely a racing game, but it's also nothing like a sandbox GTA setting either.

Hot Pursuit is bellow(regarding graphics) Shift,Shift 2,Dirt2,Dirt 3...

Dirt 3

Shift 2 all the way, even Shift was close to Dirt 2, but S2 has everything it needs to be a lot better overall than Dirt 3 which is more of the same.

Dirt 2 or Shift 2 for now, stupid slow downloading Dirt 3 off steam.

Dirt 3

Dirt 2 and Shift 2

Haven't played Dirt 3 yet, but it makes sense that it would be better looking than Dirt 2. Or at least as good looking.

Look out for Trackmania 2, that game is looking awesome.

I think the same, Dirt 2 dx11 maxed at 1080p. Stunning.

Definitely Dirt 3 for me. Before that, Dirt 2. Looked amazing.

Along with Dirt 2 and 3 I would add F1 2010 to the list as well. The game looks amazing and displays over 20 cars on track at once.

I know it's probably not the best looking racing game ever but nevertheless Test Drive Unlimited 2 has pretty good visuals.

TruedUp

DIRT series without doubt

Dirt 3 doesn't look natural to me. That's what I hate about racing games these days; they over use lighting effects.

Ignition looks the best, surely....?

Shift 2 (some of you) guys? Really? I played that game for about 15 minutes and thought it looked like crap. Never went back to it because the handling was bad; but might had given it more of a chance if it hadn't been so ugly.

F1 2010,especially when you´re driving in the wet,it looks incredibly good.
