Anyone play racing games for the PC? It would be a great way for us to hook up online for some wheel to wheel action.
I HIGHLY recommend GT Legends. The price has plummeted ($20 on Amazon.com), and it is an excellent game with a very good multiplayer component for online racing (you can read my review of the game and watch a gameplay video RIGHT HERE on DriverHeaven.net.)
Let's race, baybee!

I, for one, would love a little online gaming interaction. Havn't really found a game that I like although I will check out the one you reference. FlatOut2 has been recently released and I always liked that one.
I'll look for a GT Legends Demo to give it a shot.
edit: I'll download it when I get home this evening:

I put $20 of gas, in my tank, I'm going to have more fun than GT Legends 
But if where talking computer games, I like Need for Speed, got excellent real life physics, and when you play mulitplayer the lead always changes, becasue of traffic and cops. |

you cant beat IRL wheel to wheel action but GT Legends has NFS hands down. NFS is still arcade-ish, GTL is full on simulator with old school racecars of yore 
some pics from my local car geek forums:

I agree that NFS is too arcady,
personally I prefer the simulators like Grand Turismo series, I just wish they had it for the PC instead of just the PS2 but I do have that regardless, along with the 900 deg wheel

I also agree that NFS games have gotten to arcade like. The Porsche unleashed physics were pretty good, but still not 100% real.
Personally, my favorite racing game so far is Forza Motorsport. Seems pretty accurate.
Anyone know of a good racing game for the PC, which has good graphics, and a broad selection of cars? Forza isnt made for PC, bummer.

Forza yes I have to agree is a good game, though still not as real as the GT series, though that racing line is not a good idea, you use it once and tend to get addicted to it instead of using the surrounding graphics to judge your speed and line.

Seriously the GT Legends game handling is second to none realism wise... well thats if its anything like the developers last games.
The only question is... CAN WE DRIVE 924s???

I prefer the games that have the actual real circuits. What tracks does GT Legends have? Which game has the most real circuits?

Either way. If people get interested, I might be willing to employ my work server.

Nope, but there is a 914/6, a 911RSR, and a 906.
| fcelenza wrote: | | What tracks does GT Legends have? |
Present day versions of Spa, Nurburg, Dijon, Monza, Hockenheim, Donington, & Mondello to name a few.
Oh, and RTFR(eview)!

Anyone like the rally games? I really like Rallisport, and I especially like the Colin Mcrae series.
