I am the main administrator of IMCDb (www.imcdb.org), and as I like car games in the same way I like movies with cars, I am also on this site (though that for this one I am not the "webmaster")

Some of my favourite games are of course games where you have to drive cars.
I never had a console, so I played mostly on PC.

The first game that I played is Test Drive, very long time ago. At that time games were only in 4 colors

I am "old" (born in 1980, which is old for video games) so the games that I played the most are old, as they are from when I had time to play ()

My favourite car games are:

- Destruction Derby (the original one)
- Carmageddon and especially Carmageddon II. I also played to the TDR2000 (3rd) version, but it is not as good as the 2nd one.

I also really like "DTM Race Driver" (= "TOCA Race Driver" in some countries) which is currently the most recent car game that I have, thought it is now a little old. I also liked the old "TOCA 2 Touring Cars".

I remember that I really liked to play to "The Need for Speed", as well as the 3rd, 4th and 5th/Porsche version of that game.
I also played a lot to "Stunts" (= "4D sports driving").
Another old game that I liked is "Network Q RAC Rally Championship". Later I played to Colin McRae Rally for some time. But after that I switched to TOCA series (that I mentionned above), as I actually prefered the races on roads rather than gravel/mud/snow races.
At a time I played a lot to GTA. Much later I also played to GTA 3.

But now I do not play anymore to all these "old" game anymore, except DTM Race Driver which I do not consider as being old, and Carmageddon II that I still like despite its age.
So I came to the conclusion that Carmageddon II is really my favourite car game (my other favourite game being Transport Tycoon Deluxe, an even older game, that I still play...)
