PGR 4

Im not a huge racing fan, im going to say that right now. The racing games I do like are very arcade like and have no real simm feel to them (burnout, need for speed, etc.). PGR 4 is the game I recommend you give a shot. Its very detailed and the cars handle very smooth but not soo smooth that it takes the fun out of the game like Forza and GT do for me. Its got that arcade style but with the simm surroundings all wrapped up together into one package. The courses that I have played are pretty cool and allow you to practice your racing styles to take online to the actual fun games. The addition this time around seems to be rain and the motorcycles. Almost every track seems to be wet or slick to show off the hi-res textures put into the cars as well as the surrounding track. The vehicles and motorcycles handle well in my opinion and move and flow very well. The AI is really good and will interact with you when you pass them or they pass you kinda thing with gestures and breaking and some other features. The sound is beautiful with some cool mixes of tons of types of music all thrown in to keep up with the tempo and local of the races. This is one I recommend testing out on a weekend and seeing what you think. I wont buy this but definetly will be playing it until I have to return it to the store.
