Best Sim?

Whats the best racing sim out on PC at the moment? (GRID = arcade)

I'd wait for NFS Shift, but there's LFS, GTR2, Racer, and rFactor.

edit: Here's a comparison of realism features:

Personally I'm a fan of Big Rigs over the Road Racing.

It's an intricate game that relies heavily on it's amazing physics engine and realistic graphics.

Don't be fooled by the game's boxart, because the game is nothing like what the box depicts.

There aren't cops in the game to get in your way of racing to glory, in fact there isn't anything between you and your desire for speed.

I highly recommend this racing simulator as it's how I learned how to drive 18 wheelers. Of course, I haven't actually driven one in person because the experience I get from using this simulator removes any need to drive a real big rig.

No car "racing sim" can promise 18 wheels of thunder like big rigs can because no other program can deliver this quality of simulation.

The only thing that this game could do to make it a better racing sim is if there was an in cab view. If I could sit in the cab, rather than having the camera fly behind me I think I would have a slightly better experience.

TOCA Race Driver, I don't know which one, but I know some people that've played it and they said it's an amazing simulator.

e: just watched some youtube videos and Toca 3 looks pretty awesome.

I read somewhere that NFS:Shift is going to be more realistic driving physics wise than GTR2, but looking at some previews of the game and videos, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Wish Forza would come out on PC...

You probably saw them playing with the more arcade styled handling. The game has both.
