Racing PC Games

"Need for speed - Porsche Unleashed" is my favorite racing game. It leads me to be a real porsche owner of boxster (although my favorite cars in the game are 1995 GT, and 1998 GT1).
The graphics is very nice, the physics is the most realistic of all the 'Need for Speed' games. I bought a pack of need for speed 3 ~ 6 for $20 (Porsche Unleashed is need for speed 5). Right now in Fry's and best buy there is a pack of need for speed 4 ~ 7 also for $20.
And the musics in this game are excellent (porsche sound)! I burned the sound tracks to CD and play in my car every day.

Forza is rated as the most physics correct racing game. but Xbox and xbox 360 have no force feedback wheels. Don't know what microsoft is thinking... Both PC and PS2 have force feedback wheels.

GTR is really good, although it's one of those sims where it seems like they really cranked up the "driving on ice" factor to make people believe that it's accurate. My favorite is "Live for Speed", which is a physics-based sim and I think approximates the feeling of driving a car about as well as anything else on the market. There's a demo at...

and then you just pay for a license to unlock it if you like it. I would definitely recommend it and there's a "911-like" rear engined car, though none of the cars in the game, with the exception of the BMW F1 car are officially licensed.
