    Hi I wanted to ask what is the best racing game out there for PC's that simulates Formula One ? I was thinking maybe Grand Prix 4 or F1 Challenge 99-02, but which one is better in terms of physics, graphics and gameplay. Both are pretty old games though (nearly 6 years), but i don't know if there are any newer releases ? I had F1 2002 on my desktop years ago and that was nice but I've lost the CD for it over the years. Any other recommendations ?

    Live For Speed has a few formula cars you might want to try out. Their Formula BMW (FBM) is included in their demo with unlimited minutes and multiplayer!

    Yep, I was just about to say the same thing until I glanced at your post. I was just racing on the Crash Demo Rallycross server a while ago... it's so funny and intense. LFS is my favorite racing game and i've played a ton.

    No, unless you count emulators.
