Default Driving Games

Are there any driving games similar to the grand theift auto series (without the theift) that support a wheel? I'm not looking for an unrealistic game like NFS, but similar to GTR, GT legends in a city setting.

As Maddhatter mentioned there is the 18WOS series Here is one, but you will see the others on the same page. Very good games that give a realistic driving experience

ive been playing flatout2 recently and that supports a wheel, and there are some race curcuit type tracks, and has quite realistic physics.

So you think that NFS: Most Wanted is unrealistic.

Well if your trying to compare the physics and handling between GTR and NFS:MW then you should probabloy give up right now because NFS is not even in the same class of realism as GTR.

If you want to try to prove me wrong then in NFS:MW go over 60 mph and turn left and right between two lanes as fast as you can then do it in GTR then do it on the highway in a real car and you will probably end up in the guardrail as you would in GTR.

NFS was never ment to be a realistic game which is why they are so fun.

Your trying to compare a toothbrush and dustpan to a vacuum cleaner. Not gonna happen.

Man, if you want realism, don't even mention any of the NFS series games They are extreamly fun, but totally unrealistic. I mean come on... NOS won't cause you to fly out of a power slide, so hard it even flips your car at times!

Yup

A fun game is Race Driver. I have 2 and I've played the demo for 3. THey seem identical, just 3 has slightly better graphics. But a very fun game, and many different ways to race. Formula Fords are a blast with a steering wheel

I personally like Twisted Metal for my realism...
