What is the best racing game on pc?

Hey guys.

I need a racing game for pc. I have Test drive unlimited and Need for speed undercover. I want different games. Which games do you suggest me?

i don't play a huge number of racing games on any platform, but the two i played this year and thought were pretty good were GRID and Burnout: Paradise. Grid is an excellent balance between driving sim and arcade game, but burnout is all arcade. both are fun though.

TrackMania.

Richard Burns Rally

I liked the look of GRID but even after hours of testing and tweaking the stearing and breaking controls I could never get them right...I always had either full steering or no steering and full breaking or no breaking with not a lot inbetween. I thought the car control was horrible, shame really.

So my favourite racer is Burnout Paradise. I prefer over the top fun to frustrating realism.

Race driver grid is a good game. Fallout ultimate carnage is tons of fun also

Trackmania nations which is free is great if you like online racing

Arcade racing (accessible, simplified):
Trackmania, Race Driver GRID

Driving simulators (challenging, highly accurate and unforgivingly realistic):
GTR2, RACE 07

GTR2.

Road Rash :D

Need for Speed Most Wanted and Trackmania Nations.

Trackmania United Forever

GRID

Flatout Ultimate Carnage

Test Drive Unlimited

For a serious simluator, I advice GTR Legends. For a neat balance between realism and simulation, it's definitely GRID. And if you want over-the-top fun and devastating, go for Burnout Paradise, it's your best bet.

2 words. BURNOUT PARADISE.

I have nfs most wanted, carbon and undercover, the best of those for me is most wanted, I also have GRID and DIRT great games , burnout paradise is good, PURE good game too. gtr2 is most simulation, is good but not very fun if you like arcade type games

just look at my list of games

Race Driver Grid is the best racing game I've ever played. My 2nd would have to be Need For Speed Underground 2..

When I think PC racing... I think simulation, not really arcade type. GTR/GTR2/Evolution/Race07 are about the only I know of that aren't over 8 years old....Threesixtyci

race driver: grid is definitely the best racing game for pc right now. still waiting for fuel (from the same guys who developed grid).

Agree with that PC driving games for Sims, 360/PS3 for Arcade racers, I always found Codemasters physics have sucked since Colin McRae Rally 2 but are really enjoyable on consoles. In answer to your question though it depends on what you want, if you have a decent steering wheel then you can't beat the sims listed in Threesixtyci's post. I would add Richard Burns Rally, GT Legends and rFactor to his list. All of these games have a massive amount of free and excellent mods available online.

If you don't have a steering wheel or want arcade style games I would avoid any of the games above.

Burnout Paradise kieranb2000

Probably

Grid? ,come on people! Play GTR 2 and rFactor (with mods). Richard Burns. And NF Most Wanted. Ah, and dont forget Mario Kar LOL.

Grid is from a completely different league than GTR or rFactor, with the latter being full-scale simulators. Grid, on the other hand, keeps a balance between sim and arcade, bending more to the latter. They can be compared with the same success you'll get by comparing Need for Speed and Gran Turismo.

Wow, I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Rfactor.

Rfactor is a PC only title - and it's easily the best PC racer I've ever played. The formula one campaigns are easily the best I've ever seen.

Me me me.... I mentioned it first so there :P

Totally agree with you on rFactor, the new rFactor 2 looks fantastic but probably won't be out for years :-(

Worth saying that rFactor, GTR, GT Legends, GTR2, STCC, Race, Race 07 GTR, GTR Evolution and F1 Challenge 99-02 (which the other poster alluded to) are all using the same physics and game engine made by ISI. The only pity is that the Xbox 360 game Race Pro also written by SimBim has been absolutely slated. Not sure if this is because it is rubbish or more likely as is nearly always the case, the journos who write reviews for driving games play it for 5 minutes keep spinning off (because they are useless) and then say this game is pants and give it 20%.

I understand. I do that too. Also, the game you meant to say was FlatOut Ultimate Carnage.

GRID is a really good game. You could also try out DiRT.

I recommend TrackMania Nations Forever, its free and super fun. Other racers would be Burnout Paradise, Grid, NFS Most Wanted, and NFS Underground 1 and 2. I'm not much of a sim guy as I cant afford a steering wheel right now, but I have played GTR2 and GTR Evolution, both of which are fun games too if you like sim racers.

All-in-all, Zoom Zoom, racing 4 life! :P

Fuel, which will be released in two weeks... 'might'... be a decent game. We'll have to wait and see of course. That's going to be a tough one for me if there's no demo. The reviews will be very important in helping me to decide. I've got to save up for The Sims 3, so it'll be tough.
