rc pro-am 2 is a good car game in the sense that I never played it but somehow got a copy for free then a few years later I was selling all my retro games because I was about to move to a new apartment and I was tired of bringing all this retro junk I never played anyway and then I found out rc pro-am 2 was $50+

One series that's surprisingly solid is Shutokou Battle otherwise known as Tokyo Highway Battle/Tokyo Xtreme Racer/Tokyo Highway Challenge/Import Tuner Challenge.

Same goes for the ATLUS Touge series. Much like Japanese gundam games not understanding japanese isn't much of an issue.

You can easily figure out the menus if you play them via Demul, etc. Extreme Stage for the PS3 also has no region protection.

I gave Dirt 2 a second chance.

How well you take a turn is almost entirely dependant on how you approach it. If you don't go in at the exact right speed at the exact right angle the game wants you to, you can lose about a second getting your traction back. I think Sega Rally Revo did it better in that the approach is important, but reacting and adjusting your drift angle is also essential to surviving a turn. Also, hitting other cars in Sega Rally Revo sometimes helps you get through turns while it usually ruins your line if you try riding somebody's side panel in Dirt 2. Well, that's my Dirt 2 story. I don't think it's a bad game though, it's just not for me.

assetto corsa for "realistic" physics and cool mods esp. the reliant robin

also one of the few early access games that didn't disappoint (currently at release candidate)
