PC Racing Games

[Quokka]

Hey All

I was never a huge fan of racing games but recently I bought a wheel for the PC and a copy of the F1 game Grand Prix 4. Suprisingly I've enjoyed getting into the racing game but GP4 is just a little too unstable due to all the updates needed, plus it's very much a racing sim and maybe a touch more technical than what I'm after right now.

So can anyone suggest a PC racing game?

I'm not really sure what I'm after, it has to have a championship option and an online option would be a big plus as well. I'm not as fussed with graphics as I am with playablity so by all means shout out any older favourites and seeing as my favourite racing game is still the Wipeout series I'd certainly consider a combat racer or even a racing style game like Driver. Though I do prefer racing against other cars rather than rally style.

I was thinking about checking out the latest GP game but as someone who used to ride bikes I'm not keen on the idea of controlling a bike with a wheel and pedals .

star wars episode one podracer is a good racing game xD

How about Flat Out 2? It is a racing game with various track locations, championship modes, a touch of combat that deters the "sims" feel, and, best of all, it hosts multiplayer modes both offline and online.

I found information about the game at the following addy contained within amazon.com:

Amazon.com: Flat Out 2: Video Games: Windows


If you wish to see some of the gameplay, the following link is of a brief demo I have found:

Finally, the following link provides an official review of the game at gamespot.com:

Good luck at finding a game!
