Pure just got released on the pc, its a great game also.(for gamepad racing)

Most others i play on pc are sims where a wheel is a must if ya wanna do well. (ie: Papyrus Nascar, GTR etc...etc...)

How anyone can feel that they are in a race car with a gamepad is beyond me. If you want to get immersed in a racing game, get a wheel, it doesnt have to be the G25, I have the momo and it held out well over the 4 yrs i have had it......

It might be more immersive with a wheel, but wheels take up lots of space. My desk area isn't conducive to using a wheel, either. Neither the pedals nor my chair stay in place. Also, I can't drive worth a damn in a game even though I can drive my truck in real life pretty much at the limits of it's handling. For that reason alone, a gamepad is way way more fun.
 
I really like TrackMania Nations (the free version). It's probably the most fun free game I've ever played, and it works great with my Xbox 360 controller.
