So who is number 1 in racing games???

My guess would be EA/Need For Speed.

Can't wait for Grid 2. All of Codemasters' racing games are pretty boss.

If I had to take a guess, #1 must be Polyphony Digital. GT5 sold pretty well. But that's consoles, where CM is trying to compete with it's F1 series. On the PC, the simulation crown belongs either to rFactor, or SimBin's titles.
As for rally...most stay with the classics (CMR, RBR, etc...)...or Dirt3 for the graphics/sounds.

If you really want to stretch the definition of racing, wouldn't Nintendo be #1 with its Mario Kart series?

Good, but still, will this mean there will be emphasis on stopping people from using exploits in game right from the start to appear as fast drivers?

DiRT 3 is currently at a stage where the community is like MW3 or whichever shooter.
Most of the time there will be someone using an exploit within a lobby to avoid losing or to appear like a fast driver and increases more and more as the game becomes older.

This has not been resolved by CM since GRiD and needs to be resolved.

If you have not already done so try it, one of the best rally games based on simulation.

keeps you in suspense and demands the full attention

tried it a long time ago, still preferred cmr 2005. I'm a CMR fanboi haha. :laugh:

I'm glad they took the colin mcrae branding off of the newer DiRT games, a disgrace to the CMR series :shadedshu

Although I have seen some pretty awesome mods for RBR.
