am currently playing forza 3 (and it is very good),but keep thinking about my favourite driving game as i'm playing it. it would have to be project gotham racing 4
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmVZ-UqWPwE for me it is the best driving game that i have ever played.from the graphics (which still look fantastic imho) to the weather effects (just stunning,when racing over the brooklyn bridge in a thunderstorm in new york 
if only they had the Edinburgh tracks in it from the 2nd game then it would have been absolutely perfect. just an awesome game p.s not my video by the way.

Gran Turismo 3 (ps2)
For me this is the best of the series, not too many cars like GT2, getting every car was realistic, no downloads either. the graphics were amazing for their time. Each car was beautifully rendered and pushed the hardware. The soundtrack was good too, the music really summed up the dance and indie charts of it's time. GT4 was too similar and didn't bring anything new to the genre while GT5 feels like an anachronism next to it's Forza counterparts.
Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA)
The best multiplayer racing game bar none. Linking Gameboys via a cable and playing this (bowser castle) brings fond memories. So underrated, as good as the original, N64 version was good too.

Wipeout on the PS1
Actually I quite enjoyed downhill domination as well, although you needed to race the technical downhill sections from the first person perspective to make it tough.

Hot pursuit on the iPad ain't half bad, the original coast to coast takes some beating for it's time though.

For sheer feeling and feedback, has to be F1 2010 .... top game, have also enjoyed Dirt 3 and GT5 on the ps3 ..

Does Wipeout 3 count? That was one of the very few games that was more than just a game, it was a sport in itself. Took months of proper graft to master the lightening fast top speeds.. you had to be REALLY into it. Not much else that I've played required that level of absorption and dedication.
As for cars, GT3 I loved too. Those 60 lap hour long races were pretty epic! Being quick was one thing, being quick and saving your tyres required a similar level of fine touch to Wipeout.

geoff crammond's f1gp - still my all-time favourite!

Favourite racing games include:
Supercars 2 (Amiga)
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (Amiga)
Rock and Roll Racing (SNES)
Micro Machines V8 (PS)
Wipeout 2097 (PS)
F-Zero X (Gamecube)Always been a fan of the arcadier/sillier/fantasy racing games, Gran Turismo and Project Gotham just don't hold my interest. I did like V-Rally and Burnout, but those were mainly for causing ridiculous crashes. Never even played the normal mode on Burnout, only Crash for Cash.

GT something..,.
5 was, well, good, but underwhelming
4 found hard work on the PS2
Surprisingly, prob a close call between GT5P and GT5

Out Run. In the big plastic ferrari in the arcade on Llandudno pier late 80's. 50p a go or 3 goes for a pound. Splash wave tune selected on the stereo.

Dirt 3 is pretty good, really enjoying that at the moment.
I like RACE too, it's no simulator but it's lots of fun.
F1 2010 is very good too as is PGR4.But the best driving game ever is Forza 3.

I wish I was better at Forza though - even managed to get hold of an original (now discontinued) MS wheel and I'm still crap

Actually, I retract the Forza thing. What kind of crazy fool was I?
Grand Prix Legends. With all the user created updates.
500bhp in a car that weighs 500lb, real life physics, online support community that has a 'negative' challenge.What an awesome game, so difficult, so challenging, so engaging. Loved it. And yes, I did go negative. hundreds of tracks, insanely difficult handling, 1960's cars, fantastic!

Screamer. With 16gb of RAM for the graphics upgrade.
TBH there's only 4 things you need from a car game- good engine sounds, good crashes, good opposition, and NO ****ING DRIVING TESTS. Bloomin Gran Turismo, honestly, I've spent longer doing bloody silly GT driving tests than I spent actually learning to drive a real car.

From the annals of history... Stunt Race 2000 on the Acorn; like Stunt Car Racer but with madder tracks where you could go pretty much anywhere, including a massive "pool table" thing where you could knock the balls around. Never seen anything like it since, though, so I stuck with Wipeout 2097... I wasted many hours of my life playing that, far more than any other game...

Used to love '1nsane', pretty good offroad racer with nice physics and damage. You could race ATVs all the way up to 8x8 behemoths.
And one of the first games to have decent online play.
