Good Racing Game

TBirdUK · 10 Jun 2010 at 12:04

I have just set up my pc, with 3 screens via a triplehead2go, and want a driving game to play with that is not too complicated, can use a steering wheel and go multiplayer against another one of my pcs (single screen) via a lan- any suggestions?

Cheers

Try the Flatout series.
It's great fun online (and LAN), and is very easy to pick up and play.

Blur came out recently, could give that a pop.

There's a free racing game on Steam that might be worth a look - TrackMania Nations Forever (http://store.steampowered.com/app/11020/).

It's pretty good too, especially as it's freeee.

thanks all - do any of these game show damage - I remember a game ages back that allowed you to race, but also get ahead by damaging the other racers cars but cant remember what it was called - was a nascar type game??

Flatout series has great damage modelling. Blur also has some damage to the vehicles.

Rfactor is what you need.
Massive modding scene & Untold tracks & car classes to download & use, To many classes/tracks really but if you go online you can see what ones are popular & then just download them.

LFS needs a mention as well as that games plays Brilliantly.

Live for Speed 2.

Superb racer for the PC, Very accurate with a good community to boot.

GTR Evolution.

A fun yet not arcadey racer.

Race Driver 3 is good fun too.

Has previously mentioned, Flatout 2 is worth a look.

Dirt 2, great with a wheel and just the right balance between arcade and sim. Looks great and can be had for less than tenner at many online retailers.

JoeFX · 10 Jun 2010 at 14:01

It's probably not for you, but I just started subscribing to iRacing (www.iracing.com) it's very good (if you like proper sim racing that is).

You can use promo code PR-INRACING and get a one-month sub for about £3.50

Looks good with the three monitor setup too.

try grid maybe? dont know if it has lan but you could probably do it over hamatchi

Hank_Marvin · 10 Jun 2010 at 14:44

dirt 1 + 2, grid, nfs shift

afoster · 10 Jun 2010 at 14:53

Grid.

One of the most enjoyable racing games I've played.

andicole0 · 10 Jun 2010 at 14:56

Any of the race series http://www.race-game.org/

Dirt 2 and NFS Shift are both great looking games, and both play very well IMO.

rick fowler · 10 Jun 2010 at 16:48

any of the sim-bin, rfactor but can be a pain in the bum for some dirt 2 is ok gets a bit boring after a week,but all depends on what you would like really,i mainly do iracing and not looked back since good learning curve to drive the right way,i been on there for a while and not looked at anything else tbh,best move i did in a long tiime since rfactor.
