Best PC Racing Game?

[Blade of Grass]

So, in your opinion, what is your favorite PC racing game?

 

Also, does anyone know of a good replacement for GT5, but for PC?

[petersleepy]

Grid? Test drive unlimited? Also, dirt is the best rally simulator right now :)

F1 2012 or Forza. I would look into Project CARS as well. If you love F1, F1 2012 is a must.

Isn't Forza Xbox only?

You can always wait until the holiday season. Gran Turismo 6 is coming out for the PC then!!

Sorry, I didn't know Forza was Xbox only, you can still look into F1 2012 and Project CARS, and as stated by CobaltMK33, Gran Turismo 6.

I thought they just said it would have an online community, but if they're releasing a PC game (which they should), that's AWESOME!

Thanks, I'll edit the post so it won't confuse anyone else. :D

Need for Speed Most Wanted [the old one] :)

[HEXiT]

need for speed shift 2 is the only racer on pc thats comparable in scope to gt5. visually its actually better looking and if you find the rite mods you can get the handling to match real world car performance.

f1 2012 is ok for what it is but is limited to the f1 cars. still its decent and looks better than gt5 or forza...

rfactor is another racing sim. high on physics but is a pain in the ass to play as there are to many options blocking you getting into your first race which makes the game unplayable for some. the latest version that i remember was gonna implement dx11 but i havent see that 1 running in anything more than a video.

 

the rest is just fluff. most of the need for speed games are arcade racers not sims like gt5 that includes NFSMW all the way to grid 1-2...

 

whats the difference i hear? real sims dont have rubber banding where if you crash, the NPC cars slow down or your car gets a little boost till you catch up. this is the hallmark of an arcade racer.

A few of my mates play Grid and they think its awesome.

 

Some maybe get Grid 2?

Grid 2, Dirt 3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Latest one).

[najmaddindery]

Grid 2 and dirt 3

[007Mix]

Grid 2 looks cool but i dont have the money for it atm :(

 

But TM nations FTW! :P

[hiyayhi]

dirt three is probably my favorite.

 

I would also recommend checking out the original NFS most wanted.

[arodrake]

Only played Grid 1 and was very fun.
Need to get my hands on Grid 2

[FpsRanga]

Iracing and race 07 =D

[HirgaLTTki]

F1 2012! Or wait for 2013 version in Sept. 

[MeressXIII]

Grid and Dirt 3 are great racing games and Project Cars is looking to be amazing.

[gastew15]

It's not that realistic, and it doesn't have the nicest graphics, but Need for Speed Underground 2 is still by far the best ( arcadish ) racing game ever..

[LogicalDrm]

NFS shift and Dirt 3 for me. I'm still bit sceptic with Grid2. If it has as horrible feel while on wheel&pedals as it has with pad, then its total disappointment... or then it's only my basic pad. We'll see...

[Elliotf38]

I agree I really like grid for a regular road racing game. Dirt if offroad. Anything Codemasters.

[d3liriumtrigger]

I think ultimately it comes down to what your looking for in a racing game. Simulation (iRacing, Dirt series), Arcade (Dirt series, Grid 2, NFS: Most Wanted reboot)

Huh? Gran Turismo 6 is coming out on PC?

[smokincola]

Realism-ish: I'd say GRiD, and NFS:Shift

 

Sheer joy: Burnout Paradise, NFS: Hot Pursuit

 

Sheer madness: Sonic Sega Allstars Racing, Trackmania United (or the free version Trackmania Nations Forever)

 

Retro: NFS: Underground, Screamer 2, any of the old Need For Speed games
