    Trackmania Nations, its free and its totally a keyboard game.

    Its not GRID or Dirt2, but its a fun arcade racer and since its free you have nothing to lose. There are some crazy tracks, its like being sonic the hedgehog running through loops and stuff but with a fast racecar :D

    Id link you a youtube video or two but its blocked on my work computer.

    I can play grid on the keyboard, took a while to get used to it. You need to tap the keys and not hold them.
