iRacing apparently is the best hands down... read up on how the best driver gets $10k and a raceday... topgear and other outlets put the worlds best iRacing driver in an indy/F1 etc car for a day and were stunned by how good a racer he was (and he'd never had a drivers license before...)

iRacing looks very interesting... i'm tempted. Anyone here play that? Too bad there's no subies, or any AWD car at all =\

ok i just tried iracing.com...

the feel of it is 100x better than GT5. Force feedback actually works in this game, counter steering works, and the physics feel spot on. Feels much more connected to the road, and the cars sound good too.

I wish they had more cars, but the track selection makes up for it. Me likey, I'll be playing this instead of gt5. Current promotion is 3 months for $12. If anyone wants to try it out, can you let me know so I can refer you? =-)

Grid Race Car Driver and Dirt 2 so far are the only ones I would recommend, both made by Codemasters.
