M3 challenge is obviously the best.... you cant even decide if you want H-pattern gearing in volvo the game and a lot of settings are missing... ferrari challenge just suck..

VW Polo 3D Challenge is my favourite! It's an incredibly fun, fully 3D car racing game for the iPod/iPhone with great graphics. And it's free! images/smilies/happy.gif

BMW 1 Series online game! It was great back in 2005, when I was 12, that is.

I loved the BMW Challenge and the Ferrari one was really fun, but the brakes always locked up and there was no way to fix that. Plus, no H-shift setting images/smilies/sad.gif

I downloaded M3 challenge after reading this thread and I'm amazed how great it is for FREE! Graphics are up there with LFS (and beyond), it works great with my wheel (although the only force setting that works properly is G25 preset and it's a bit squishy on my DFP) and the sound is great. Very inpressive game, shame the damage is rubbish. Not tried the others, prolly will.

No mercedes c class coupe game?

You run into a wall at full speed, and it just rebounds you in the correct direction at full speed.
