I've had a look round, and these seem to crop up:

Live for speed 2
rFactor
GTR2


Now, for Christmas I should hopefully be getting this baby:

So I was wondering what game is the best on the market right now for this beast of a racing wheel?




As always, help is much appreciated

A couple of the guys I race with are using the G-25. I'm still using my old trusty Momo Wheel.

I'm currently racing in a league that uses rFactor with a NASCAR Mod.

Gran turismo 4, and soon to be Gran Turismo 5... But then you'll need a ps3 and an HDTV... I dunno. I just always loved gran turismo much more than any pc games I tried for racing. I used a logitech driving wheel... I forget the name but it was blue and had force feedback.

Its good, but it doesn't really compare with a lot of computer games...especially in force feedback.

I like LFS the best...what it lacks in number of tracks and vehicles it more then makes up for in performance.

Its also REALLY optimized for basic computers so it will run amazing on a good one.

The driving in it is amazing,while the car list doesn't hold up to some others there is a good representative of most class of car you want. How many cars do you actually drive anyways?

Most tracks have quite a few configurations too, and they even have auto cross parts where you can build your own (you can actually use the editor to place tire stacks/cones/lines on any track to make chicanes or tighten corners.)

Buy a S2 license and be happy.

Edit:
Isn't race by the ISI guys? I don't know much but I hear its a lot like the rFactor engine? I think rFactor does a great job with F1 cars and the like but it seems to keep the same sudden snap over steer. Giving it a bit of a slide through a corner is way more difficult then it should be, and it seems almost impossible to hold at times.

LFS is the opposite, but not as bad IMO...much better for street type cars and GT type cars. LFS F1 cars seem a little tame (I think because there areo model isn't complete....) but handles street, light race and GT cars MUCH better IMO.

I own GTR, and GTR2...drive a momo wheel...
If you are into realism (down to the shims and packers on your dampers) then the GTR series is it.  I've been playing driving/racing sims for years and years and GTR is the shit on PC.
On a console, it gets no better than Gran Tourismo...

I would gladly go out and get GTR again...its my first and strongest recomendation.

Good luck and enjoy

Probably the most important part of this message after reading above: I am in a weekly tournament actually with RACE, but it has been an rFactor conversion - using Chevy Lacettis, BMW 320si...SEAT Leon even! Great fun!

I also have a Logitech G25 and I am pretty impressed with it. The paddles are sensitive at first but the clutch is wonderful, and the pneumatic touch is just wonderful! Always keeps it pressure.

DiRT is more arcadia in my opinion.

I must admit, it's pretty fantastic and I'm highly impressed. A 2007 Nordschliefe has also been released and I must say, it has been done to staggeringly detailed perfection! I also have various other mods, including TPSCC, Megane Trophy, CTDP 2005, Zonda, Panoz...the list goes on! I really recommend the GT Championship though. I can give you download links by request (Megaupload and I'll try and upload it to Rapidshare)

Were using the NROS 1.3.5 Mod. We only have 1 more race for our current season then we will probably switch over to another NROS mod.
