GT5 is amazing in terms of realism, but I found the game really frustrating with all the different things you have to do to progress and stopped playing it. Will start again as I think it's a great game, but requires patience!

I really enjoyed Need for Speed Shift (although not everyone agrees) too :)

F1 2010 is a good game tbh, I have done 3 FULL seasons of full length race and the rest.

Looking forward to F1 2011 to come out

I could do with a decent driving game too, but simple one where you switch it on, select a car, select a track, and race people and try and win, simple

Forgot about that one! Yep I love it too, although I think being an F1 fan is probably a factor too.

I found NFS Shift pretty good for this, and GT5 really bad for this :)

Grid is really good on the pc but I dunno if there's a ps3 version.

race driver grid is really good on the PS3 i think F1 2010 is based on it but grid has different cars etc and a career mode, you can go on line as well

GTR 2 on the PC. Old school, but still enjoyable.

Let the autopilot do most of the driving for you in 24 Hr Le Mans.

old block buster is good for renting this stuff to trial it.. their loyalty scheme allows me to get a free game after so many film rentals so I can have a play and see if i like the games first :)
