hi peoples, I was just wondering, do any of you like motorsport? I do, even F1, which is of course one big fix. I also used to love the BTCC, when it was at the brilliant years, but its not as good anymore. But I also love motoracing video games, my favourite being the TOCA race driver series. And that means that in my view Race Driver:Grid is the greatest video game of all time. So, do any of you like motor racing video games or motor racing in general?     

[Nathan|C]

I love motor racing games, some of my favourites are:

Gran Turismo 4
Toca Rade Driver
Toca Race Driver 3
World Rally Championship
Test Drive Unlimited (PS2)

I hope to get Gran Turismo 5 and Race Grid Driver soon  :laugh:

[Ncena1]

Yes I like the DTM (german) and also F1 of course

[Sam]

I allso like realistic racing games.

I play Project gotham racing 4 and test drive unlimited.

But I hate the need for speed games biceaus they are verry unrealistic.


I love Top Gear on BBC2.
Greatest show ever!

F1 is the one for me,there website is pretty good too,

Race Driver Grid is the best investment you will ever make Nathan. Im not a fan of project gotham racing, I like circuit racing rather than street racing, except if its round Monaco in an F1 car! I hate Need for speed aswell sam, Mainly cos I am about as talented drifter as james may! The WRC games were cool, Not as good as colin macrea though (RIP Colin-True Legend)
 I fell in love with toca the moment i stepped out onto the eurospeedway lautsitz in Tom Kristensands Merc on TRD3 almost 1 year a go now, super times, best racing game ever. And now theres grid, unbelievably good! And the best damage model ive ever seen.

My favourite motorsport F1, Lewis hamilton-best racer ever, he will be a true legend, although hes gonna makeit hard for himself! Although the F1 video games have always been a bit disappointing. Except F1 2009 will be with codemasters-creators of TOCA race Driver. Oh yes, F1 2009 will be a true racing game!

I think some of will love this site that i am an Admin on:

www.igcd.net

Just search for the game, and a list (with pictures) will come up with all of the cars in that game. All the screenshots are taken by the admin when possible. My profile is "CrazyCars" 

I even added Ship Simulator!

I am a big Moto GP fan, I watch every race.. My favourite is Valentino Rossi
I'm so glad that he signed up for another 2 years..

[Quaysider]

Moto Gp here as well - think Rossi will toy with everyone then win the races next season 

[RMSGreatBritain]

I like Rossi hes good. I like the DTM series aswell, more glamorous than the British Touring Car championship, But less action. GP2 is pretty cool aswell

Thanks for that web link by the way Nathan, top job!

[saltydog]

Yes, a shame my favourite commentator team won't be on Moto GP next year on Eurosport..
Julian, Toby and Randy..I will surely miss them..

[Nathan|C]

I've actually been to the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany but when the computer was rebuilt i forgot to back up pictures  

Shame, i had a picture of Ralph Schumachers Mercedes C-Class DTM car  

[saltydog]

Racing cars are the pits..

[RMSGreatBritain]

Nice Nathan

Racing cars are the pits..

I can see your not a car racing fan SD, just bikes I guess for you.

[saltydog]

Yep, watching cars go round is like watching paint dry..

It didnt used to be like that. For example the BTCC in the 90s, exilarating! 1992 for example, anyone of 3 drivers could have one the championship on the final lap of the final race. Thanks to a clash between two drivers, Tim harvey walked away with the crown!

This isn't exactly boring  :

Soper's BMW had come all the way from the back, it was the final laps and he had almost made it...then he got taken out by the Vauxhall....

That's probably the best race of BTCC that's happened for a long time...

[RMSGreatBritain]

Yeah it was, and great commentry from Murray as always!

[saltydog]

I used to like F1, untill it got boring..
But diffrent strokes to diffrent folks, eh..

Yeah. I found that what made it boring was schumacher winning all the time, but he was a great racer! Hamilton has livened things up a bit. I still watch every race because sometimes you get mad and insane races with lots of crashes (without injuries I hasten to add) and spins and all sorts. Usually that involves rain, so basically I watch every Grand Prix in the hope of rain or something funny to happen. (Aslong as no one gets hurt). Plus rain means hamilton usually wins,or comes 5th! , so thats good.

Hehe that was on Top Gear,
I love cars and I also agree that Race driver Grid is one of the best games ever, just waiting for the PC DLC for it to come out now... (It's got Nissan GTR and McLaren F1 in it  )
Top Gear is great not only for the cars but also for the humour. Looking forward to the vietnam special
I used to collect scale model cars (1:18) but I've kinda stopped now cos there isn't much space left and they get damaged.
F1 is good and it isn't as boring now cos there isn't a clear "leader" and there is a different winner/podium most races

Couldnt agree with you more-Top Ger is the best show on earth in my view, and Race Driver Grid is simply the best racing game ever.

My dad used to do "Banger racing". And Hot Rods Quite well known back in the 70's-80's! (He's "Getting on" a bit now).

p.s. I'll see if I can get some pics.

[Captain Darling]

I like F1, GP2, Renault Series, Isle Of Man TT..

Top Gear is the best motoring program.. I prefer it over Fifth Gear anyday.
