New driving wheel, what game should I get?

[grohl]

Just got a new Logitech Driving Force GT. It was a slickdeal for $60 AR. Nice!

I am a FPS gamer mostly, but ready to try out a driving game. It is PS3 compatible and I have a PS3, but wondering what PC game would work for the time being...

Shift, Dirt 2, are installed in my pc right now and are awesome.

I agree with these two.

Dirt 2 is just fun. It's not hardcore sim, but it's awesome with a wheel!

I'd rather use my G25 and h-shifter with sim games, but I still definitely enjoy Dirt 2, and it has enough realism to at least not detract from the experience.

NFS: Shift. Now that, that is an experience.

If you search some online communities, there is just a TON of setting and internal physics parameter modifications that completely brings out the underlying hardcore sim engine.
But it's entirely enjoyable by default as well, but the first thing I did was look up G25 profiler settings and in-game settings, and that led me to more modifications. The game was new so I was following as the community slowly evolved and came up with better and better solutions. I need to load the game back up some time soon and see how far the modifications have come, especially with recent official patches.

I may buy track IR just so I can use the in car view and turn my head to see whats going on around me. Shift I have to say with some tweaking is the most fun I have ever had in a sim. I play with a g25 infront of my 120 inch projector. May try eyefinity but with a screen that big cant bring myself to buy a DP adapter.
