    Racing games similar to GRID

    I played GRID on a friends computer and loved it. I'm a sucker for racing games and i found this to be an excellent one. So i just downloaded and installed the demo and tried to run it and my card doesn't support shader model 3 .

    So long story short what other racing games do people suggest?

    rFactor can work in directx 7, so I would have thought it would be alright on older cards. It's got pretty standard cars to start, but it's mainly a mod base for people to create their own cars/tracks.

    There are hundreds of different cars and tracks available, check out rfactorcentral.com for screenies and a taste of the mods on offer.
