I have many racing simulators. been a racing sim fan for along time... since Microprose Formula One grandprix (1992) on the Amiga.

Here are a few of my favorite racing sim games :-

Grand Prix 4
GTR2 (my favourite)
GP Legends

Was using a gamepad to play.... not easy. But i just talked my wife into letting me spend NZ$600 on a Logitech G27.

And now i'm looking at taking up iracing. Just gotta talk the wife into letting me spend more $.

Upcoming racing sims that are looking good.

Formula One 2010 from codemasters (released sept this year)
GTR3 (released 2011)
Rfactor 2

I use the Logitech G27, and most of the time I race iRacing. Its expensive with its subscription stuff but also the best by some margin.

I had to give up on race sims. My knees are terrible, after about 30 minutes or so, my knees ache to the point that I cant stand it.

I miss playing GTR2, GT legend Power & Glory mod.

Is that caused by the way your pedals sit ?

I used to get that in flight sims until I got logitech G940 flight controllers.

Pedals are set WIDER apart. That eliminated the leg pains.

Race 07 and expansions (Race On, GTR: Evo, STCC, etc)
GTR2
GT Legends

Now that I have non-sat high speed, been racing over at Race Department.com about twice a week.

I'm getting back into Racing. No new flight sims since RoF and SH5 speaks for itself.

I guess I want to do something different for awhile.

I love to play these type of games as they are very interesting and lot of tactics are used to defeat your enemy which enhances your skills.
