Racing games for the PC

[LoweJacks@domain.elided]

IMHO the best racing game for the PC is Grand Prix 2.  It has been out for a 
few years and the graphics are not as slick as some of the newer games, but 
if you are interested in setting up your own suspension for and GP car with 
all its frustrations and joys, let alone racing, this is the game for you.  
It is set in the 1994 season and you can race the full F1 season.

GP2 is also possibly the most hacked game ever,  download the right software 
and you can design your own car, or download a predesigned car.  Want to 
improve the power of your car or reduce the grip to simulate grooved tyres - 
no problem.  Don't want to drive the 1994 tracks - design your own or 
download a number of other tracks.  Want to race other people - join a racing 
league.  You can try other peoples suspension set-up's or post your own.  
There are no cheats only the joy of getting that perfect set-up and lap time 
and of course winning a race.

I have tried TOCA, Colin McRae etc, they are all good games, but I always go 
back to GP2.  It is the most satisfying racing sim out there.  It is cheap to 
buy but after years of playing it, I am still trying to master the game.  It 
is claimed that Jacque Villenuve (spelling ?) used this game to learn the 
tracks when he joined F1.
