What racing games (emulated or PC) do people play?

Been thinking of upgrading specs for my racing cab (in process of
being built, not all the way built yet, but I have a PC already).  The
PC I have is just a AMDK6-2 333Mhz, nothing special, has to run
MAME v. 53 or so to get decent frame rates and thus only older classic
stuff.

Wonder if it's worth a $100 upgrade to an Athlon X2 system to play
some newer racing games... what do y'all play?

I too would be interested in what other racing games people play.

I have a 270 USB wheel and pedals. For some reason, all we seem to play regularly is Need for Speed Underground (PC) which does require a modest PC and video card. And Spy Hunter of course.

I'd like to hook it up to my Dreamcast for Daytona USA but haven't explored that possibility.

I'd love to build a driving cabinet some day.  My biggest issue is the 360 vs 270 degree/pot-based vs optical based steering wheel problem.  Ideally I'd like to play the most popular arcade game like Pole Position, Super Sprint, Super Off Road, Road Blasters, etc (which use 360 degree wheels) in addition to the good PC games, just about all of which are 270 degree wheel games.  I wish there was some solution or hack to switch between a 360 and 270 degree wheel.

I'm going w/ the design limitations of my cab, which is more of a restoration conversion than a new project... the SCI cab is a 360 and I'm just planning on a mouse hack.
I shoould still be able to play 270 games I think, it's just harder, right?

In a similar thread someone suggested Trackmania - which is a great driving game with very well done graphics. Plays pretty well with a joystick although I am sure it is much better with a wheel. One shortcoming - no visible damage to the cars after a crash. There is a downloadable free version - http://trackmania.com/
