For me its colin mcrae rally.

- this question refers to any game where you mainly drive a car, 4x4 or roadster etc....

- it DOESNT have to be a SPORT based game.

The original Carmageddon. Excellent physics/handling, plus you get to do what you really want to do in a driving game: run people over!

'Driver' is a good one as well, in an unrealistic yet fun handling kind of way!

Chase HQ! Is that the one with one diving and the other shooting out the sunroof?

Class!

In a very particular order...(i.e GPL is clearly the best!)

1. Grand Prix Legends
2. Gran Turismo (for its time GT2 was the best IMO)
3. Duel: The Test Drive II (PC and Amiga early 90's)
4. Driver
5. Hard Driving (on the arcade)

I remember it from the game boy. You had to chase a car, when it had a 500 mile advantage over you. Using turbos to catch up to it, once you got to it, you had to ram it until it reached its damage metre and then you arrested the "bad" guys.

Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga/PC... The rollercosater track was awesome...

(Programmed by one Geoff Crammond who later went on to produce all the "Grand Prix" games for PC...)
