Default Virtual racing?

Hey guys,

What sort of games/sims do you play in your spare time? I've been playing the Live For Speed S2 alpha since it came out (playing with the new suspension detail ), but recently I've started playing the GTR demo quite a bit...

Wow, I didn't realise the S2 demo was out. I used to play LFS a fair bit, but haven't touched it for probably 12 months.

Downloading the demo now...

If you like GTR demo, the full version is now available at Hardly Normal stores. Lots of addon tracks and liveries as well as the tracks that come with the game. Excellent sim.

Other than that at the moment, getting my online fix via Forza.

How much is it? It's not a bad sim, but I can think of many other things I need to buy for my IRL driver (clutch, stereo, wheels/tyres, etc)

I've also been playing Richard Burns Rally for a while now, it's great fun when I have a few friends over for multiplayer time trials. I played NASCAR season 2003 for a few hours today, but didn't see what all the fuss was about :

Via the website, but not as a package with media.
