Racing games are always popular, as the success of recent four-wheeled titles have shown, but there seems to be a definite shift away from traditional motor sport disciplines toward a more freeform street racing style.

Need for Speed, Project Gotham Racing and Ridge Racer all focus on road cars rather than the racing variety, which is why it is refreshing to get hold of the TOCA Race Driver 3 game and have a whole swathe of real race cars to choose from.
