Dirt 2 or 3, Grid seems decent

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

If you have a wheel, then the only games you should really look at for drifting are

1. Live for speed: Has a wealth of mods available to it, and is considered as one of the best racing games for drifting. It also has a fairly good community behind it for drifting. It is a tad aged though

2. R factor: Same as above really, and just as aged

3: Assetto Corsa: The newest game on the block that has already got a fairly decent drifting community behind it. It looks good, as it is newer than the other two. It also has a wealth of mods already, though some of the more niche mods are a tad harder to find. The modding communities from both Rfactor and live for speed are slowly moving over to assetto corsa, so expect even more mods for it in the future. 

It is possible to play these games with a control pad by the way, but it takes more work to get a setup that feels good. But these are the 3 games I would recommend for drifting. If you are looking for a game with the size car list and customization available within Forza and Gran Turismo on PC, then you are going to be a little hard done by. There is only really shift and shift 2 that offer that sort of gameplay, and even then; it is limited in comparison to Forza and Gran Turismo. Hope this has helped you out though.

Is that the spot that Cars aims to fill ? I would have say yes but I don't know anymore with the claims they made about the lack of traditionnal progession.

In my opinion, if you can't afford at least Logitech DFGT, don't buy a wheel.  :ph34r:

Whether or not a wheel is a must in a specific game, you are asking for a realistic driving/drifting experience.... -->with a keyboard<--

 

That is such an odd request.

drift oz? Nvr heard of it. DFGT is an entry lvl wheel if u're into simracing in my opinion, not premium.
