Default Best PC Racing Simulators

Hi,

From my understanding the following is a list of the "best" racing
simulators for their category. By "best" I mean most realistic and
lifelike. Of course, there will be differing points of view as to
which ones are the best which is why I'm putting this list out there.
rFactor can probably fit into most of the categories but I've never
actually used it myself.

Nascar
1. Nascar Racing Season 2003

Modern Formula 1
1. F1 Challenge '99-02'

Vintage Formula 1
1. Grand Prix Legends

Australian V8 Supercars
1. GTR2 (V8 mod)

GT
1. GTR2

Classic GT
1. GT Legends

Please alter the list and add other categories if you feel obliged.

Regards,
Mike.

As you mentioned, rFactor goes into a lot of places. I'd put the BMW
Sauber F1 addon at the top of the heap for F1. Yes, it's only 1 car,
but it's still better than F1C as a whole imo. I'd also suggest that
Richard Burns Rally will get the nod in the Best Rally sim.

You consider 1979 vintage? If so, GP79 rFactor mod is better than GPL, IMO.

I think ARCA Sim Racing beats N2003 in most every category.

Unfortunately I will never get the chance to find out if it is better or
not because they were too myopic to make it available as a digital
download purchase.

Hmm, I'd say EA F1 2002 was pretty good at F1.

And I'd add either Colin MCrae Rally 4 (or DiRT) as the best rally sims.

And of course not forgetting GTA3 as the best car-jacking sim...

Don't you have a postal service where you are?

Yes, but I don't do cross border shopping because it is too much of a
hassle and costly.
