Theres also Racer - www.racer.nl
It can be a pain to get the cars and tracks working though.

Theres a couple of shots in the screenie thread from me, Enzo at the Nordschleife is fun

1 vote for trackmania nations and live for speed

Conrad11 · 12 Feb 2006 at 15:09

LOL, just played live for speed and it is possible the hardest game i have ever played in my life.....given that i have never driven and the fact i am using a keyboard....is it normal that I find it hard to drive in a straight line and I cannot even negotiate a simple corner :|

........I am playing the S2 Alpha I think?

btw....tracknations was really bad, I didn't like it in the slightest I am yet to try racer...

It's a simulation which really needs a wheel to play. It's a very good game when you get good at it.

Yep thats right if your using the XR GT Turbo. The game is a simulator and has recently been voted the best racing sim of 2005. To use a keyboard i would recommend going in one gear too high to stop the back end sliding or just not accelerating until you are out of the corner fully.

Get itno the XF GTI and try the game, its a slow car but for a keyboard user its much better. Honestly mate, if you looking to get into racing games get yourself a wheel, it makes racing games soo much better to play, and if you get LFS its one of the most rewarding games if you put the effort in. Its took me 4 months, but im now getting pretty fast.

or try mouse in l4s, way better then keyboard, i've been playing l4s for around 3 years now with mouse, i can kick some ass against wheel users

Hehe I can't imagine playing Live for Speed with anything other than a mouse.

I'm only any good at the rally track. And even then...

What was wrong with Trackmania Nations? Just takes practice and skill

I'm in the top 50 in UK
