Best driving game ever

Colin McRae Rally series prior to the DIRT game were brilliantly good. Nothing beats going down a British country road that is only just wide enough to house your car whilst you're charging down this road in, preferably, your Subaru Impreza at 100mph. But that's just me and my rallying obsession.
Surprised nobodies mentioned SimBin's creations like the GTR series (sp?) and the latest 360 release of Race Pro which is actually a very good simulation, although online has a lot to be desired for in comparison to GRID. Still, we're talking about what game creates a good driving experience for a single player, not a bunch.
Have to agree with those who've mentioned Rollcage and Burnout, those games were very good. Particularly Rollcage which excels in Multiplayer mode, sort of like a Halo...with wheels.
Burnout has that charm of speeding through traffic which I always dreamt of doing but never have the balls to do in real life. ;-)
However, I can't understand the NFS claims here. Particularly from the later games, they hardly create a decent driving experience. Like GRID, it creates an arcade feel which I'm not particularly fond of for single player modes but for multiplayer it works a treat.
Still, those are my two cents about the whole thing.

the first driving game i ever played was called, creativly enough, Driver and it was the only good driving game i ever came across. and believe me i've tried other driving games
I like the Burnout series and the Wipeout series (even though it frustrates the fuck out of me). I even like the NFS series. Not so much of fan of the Gran Turismo's though. Just boring. They are pretty to look at but not too much on the fun factor.
RealDriving... on the atari lynx.
Maybe it is just because i got to play an arcade game on a portable... maybe it's because the trick track is near impossible ... maybe it's because i got really good at the speed track and would make the game glitch. but it has a certain place in my heart.
besides that though... i liked test drive unlimited on the psp and the new turismo on the ps3

Burnout and Mario Kart, obviously, but my vote goes to...
Carmageddon! Yes, stupid car combat involving Anthill mob style giant springs and the like, armies of people to drive over or park on and then do wheelspins to spray them up nearby walls, and if you fail the race you can just destroy everyone else in the world until you're first by default of being the only person alive!
Give us next gen Carmageddon now!

My apologies in advance for the fanboy statement I'm about to commit....scarf1991 said:
Forza Motorsport > Gran Turismo
Forza has robust damage modeling, a deep livery editor that allows detailed artwork, great multiplayer and a highly active community even three years after it's release.
Gran Turismo has.... lots of cars....
F-Zero GX? It's certainly the hardest racing game I've played.
Gran Turismo 2's international license challenges were pretty darn fun, though. i love that when i first opened GT 2, there was both an owner's manual and a driver's manual included. that kind of blew my mind a bit... along with that Cardigans song that played in the opening credits.
I will further investigate Forza, though. I haven't really explored the possibilities on 360.

I'm not a huge fan of racing games but I agree with JC. It was the first racing game I genuinely had fun playing. There are few games that combine the spectacle and effective driving mechanics (if a little arcadey) so well.JC Denton said:
I can't remember the game, but I remember having one of the first steering wheels and peddles that came with the PS2 with a game.
Maybe it was Gran Turismo... I've been playing that game for years.

The original driver for Macintosh and Gran Turismo 1 for PSX.
Also, If anyone remembers Vette, that was the first driving game I'd ever played.
