RS Clio 182
F1 2011 by far.

If we are talking all-time - TOCA Touring Cars & TOCA 2 by Codemasters on the PS1 would be in my top 5 - remember opening it on xmas morning and being amazed by the taillights reflecting on the ground at Donington. The actual racing & damage was amazing aswell.

Jesus - I had all of those bar the TOCA one on the PS1. The Test Drive follow up (The Duel) was the one that kick-started my love for the Porsche 959. To this day, I would buy one of those in a heartbeat if I won big-style on the Lottery!
Buggy Boy was simply epic on the Amiga. It came with the bundle I got - loved it!

This is what was played before people forgot how to enjoy themselves without staring at a screen, dribbling and touting an e-Penis

The game itself was merely good. What made it absolutely epic was the fact that it was the first proper multiplayer game I played. We hooked up 2 Atari ST's in seperate rooms, linked with a ye olde RS232 cable and played hour after hour of Stunt Car Racer. It was astonishing to me, in those early days, that the guy I was racing on my computer was another person controlling their car from their own computer. Amazing stuff.
Populous and Vroom were the other games we played.

Lol! Those were the days! In the current iPhone/Android world, that was on par with sending texts via smoke signals.
Me and a mate got F-16 working on our Amigas using RS232 the same way (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-16_Combat_Pilot) - and just as you say, realising that that other plane shooting at you was your mate, made all the difference! Actually, I used RS232 for years afterwards - the original Doom and the first Command & Conquer games were played between us at uni on two PCs that way. Messing about with baud rates, flow control, etc?! Young's these days have it piss easy with XBL and PSN...

Road Rash FTW. Plus Desert Strike but that's not a racing game
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i

I wonder why they give Forza 4 8.5, but give 3 9.5? 4 is better than 3 lolwut
Has anyone played Race Pro on the 360? Thats a good sim!
graphics werent amazing but the game has to be the most realistic ive played on the 360 (with a steering wheel ofc)

Oof yeah, we killed entire nights with Doom, Hexen, Descent, C&C and Duke Nukem3D over 2 hooked up 486's.
Anyway, back on racing games - I'd forgotten all about V-Rally. That game was superb. I spent most of my 2nd year at university playing that game - 1 on 1, winner stays on. Good times. Pretty much all we played till Tekken 2 came along.
LOLZ!!?
What?
Linear? You race cars around in circles, much like any other racing game with circuits.
Dull, well, maybe, I'll pass that
Overcompliacted? Seriously? Go play bloody mario kart...
Sorry, that's getting overangry pointlessly. Did you mean things like the set-up menus?
One thing on GT5 I just think is f**king stupid, paint. Not sure if they have patched it out not played it for ages, was going to fire it up again the other day when I saw the multiple GB patch. Just thought, nope not interested.
However, having to buy a car to paint another car the same colour is f**king retarded. No other word for it. So I have to buy a car the colour I want, then I get a single use paint of that type. So to paint two cars the same colour. I have to buy 4 cars, I can't just pay for paint. I mean who in their right mind thought that was logical? To make matters worse, I couldn't even buy my car with the standard factory paint it came with in game. Oh no, it's not an option. So I had to purchase a car of a similar colour so I could get it to a factory colour!

GT5 was a crushing disappointment but only because it's predecessors were so good. It's not a bad game in itself.
Though it did wind me up the other day - Trying to enter a European Hot-hatch competition and was really struggling to find a decent hot-hatch. When I finally did it told me that I had to buy summat online to use that car. f**k. That. Ended up with an RS Meggy IIRC.

275 Trophy
This is the deffinative list, +1
Out of that Richard Burns Rally for me. It wasn't the graphics or the cars, but the brilliant way they mapped the force feedback to the wheel. You could steer the car with the throttle almost blindfold, such was the depth of feeling you got through the wheel. Bare in mind this is now 8 years old.
