Whats the best driving game you have played on the PC?

Grand Theft Auto 3. When you're bored of driving jump out with an Uzi and go mental!

Otherwise Colin McRae 2 probably.
"!nsane" is a good crack also, and on budget methinks.

Grand Prix Legends - Absolutely the best driving game available for the PC. You need a steering wheel/pedals setup, and a lot of time to learn how to drive these cars (based on the '67 F1 season).

You can also race online. Pick the game up for £5 on the sold-out range.

If you prefer the more arcadey style game then something like gta3 is a blast - I'm playing through it at the moment.

 

We have been playing a demo of one in the office called "Rallye Trophy" it looks really good.
The stage we are playing is a Mini Cooper in Russia, its great fun trying to beat the fastest time unfotunatly I`m five hundreds of a second of it

 

Hi

not really what you wanted but will pass the time.

Cant believe no-one has said GP4, or is that a bid difficult to master for the Scooby lot? And yes, Grand Prox Legends, the most realistic driving game on a PC (or any format) ever. You can even get a Direct 3D patch to make it work with Gforces etc.

F1 2002 is much better than GP4 and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

 

Hahahaha, what, couldnt you get GP4 to run on your machine? That's the only reason I can think of, as anyone in their right mind would choose GP4, unless that is you like winning every race because 2001's granny of an AI is so completely lame. Yes its not bad for a console type game. Do you play it with a joypad?

You should check out Rally Championship Extreme....

With the wheel, it is fuggin' great!!!!

As good as CMR2, but with a central driver-cam

Grand Prix 4 with steering wheel & 128 g4 card! I'm beating Schumacher................I could be the 2002 World Champion...

 

n if u like yank oval racing, nascar4 or nascar thunder are both awesome sims. Multiplayer is mindblowing, 40 odd cars (pc willing) thumping out V8 tunes around daytona

 

Another good oldie is Sports Car GT. Active community means loads more cars and tracks too. I'm currently enjoying Aussie V8s.

 

to answer your question.... GPL

If you need pursuading, have a look at this http://magnust.d2g.com/slideshow.asp#

 

world superbikes 2001 if this counts

 

Grand Prix Legends - Where can I buy this?

 

Get Grand Prix Legends for £4.99 from Sold Out Software.

I've played GPL for years on a crap PC (PII 233Mhz) and I cannot believe how excellent the graphics updates make the game look

 

Currently have the following driving games installed :-

need for speed hot pursuit 2 (very arcadey and fun legging it from the police)
rally trophy - quite amusing game with old volvo amazons etc
rally championship extreme - very good game, personally prefer it to macrae 2 (shock horror!)
gp4 - bored of it, its just gp3 extra gfx version.
gta3 - nowhere near as good as psx2 version
mafia - not really 100% driving but ive never had as much fun at 35mph


theres screenies of hot pursuit 2 here - http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?ThreadID=145532

GPL for tarmac, Rally Trophy for gravel/mud.

Biggest downside of GPL is the amount of time required to patch it correctly, add the updates to get the good graphics...and, last but not least , learn to drive!
