So what do you think was the best racing game on the old-skool systems?

I'd have to say Forza, but with PGR:2 following closely behind. Forza is the best racing sim IMO, and PGR:2 is a good arcade racer.

Gran Turismo 2. Particularly with the bleem! disc for use on the Dreamcast. Then Forza. Then Test Drive LeMans, also for Dreamcast. Way ahead of it's time, IMO. For rally, I'd go Rallisport Challenge 2 and to round it out I'll give Toca 2 a shout until GRID is released. There ya go.

Haven't played Forza, but Gran Turismo is what I'd choose for realistic driving.

I'm gonna have to say GT because it's just a really memorable game for me and and awesome one at that. Burnout is my second favourite driving game.

Burnout all the way. Burnout 3 takedown is the closest to racing game perfection in my opinion. An excellent blend of graphics (for the year 2001) gameplay and playability. Its the bench mark of a good racing game.

burnout is my favorite series atm

Burnout is my favourite series of racing games. Equally fun in singleplayer and multiplayer modes, lots of action, plus the crashes look awesome.

The first racing game I feel in love with was either RAD or RC Pro AM on nes.

Then I loved Rock N Roll racing, RPM Racing, Test Drive the Duel and F-zero for snes.

Then playstation hit and gran tourismo rocked my world. Ridge/Rage Racer was also extremely sweet. Ridge Racer at the arcade was so freaking sweet. If there was something on the N64 I dont remember it or didnt spend very much time with it.

For the ps2 era GT and RR continuted on but then NFS got revamped and blew everything away.

NFS still has a hold on my heart strings. Im crossing my fingers and praying to the game gods that NFS: Undercover wont be a total cluster ----. It looks like an awesome update of Most Wanted but what has me peeing my pants is the fact that they say they have made the cop AI smarter/tougher. I like mixing it up with the cops and then GETTING AWAY more than being arrested personally.....

I wouldnt mind some of that old school flavor where we had weapons and cool tracks but hoping for that is like wishing for a ice cream cone in hell.
