"Atari have provided us with some automotive media of a decidedly more serious bent. Next month, the company is publishing Race Pro, an Xbox 360-exclusive racer that puts the focus on hardcore simulation, a la Gran Turismo or Forza. The Swedish developer, SimBin, has been laying it down in the PC racing-sim world since 2005 with games like GTR, but this is the first time it's moved into the arguably more competitive console racing market."
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.

The highlight of today's new content is the Race Pro downloadable content, which comes in the form of two new packs containing new cars and tracks. There's also some new Guitar Hero: World Tour tracks, Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires content and a range of themes and picture packs. Here is the full Marketplace update for Thursday 30th July 2009:

The long awaited downloadable content for RACE Pro is finally here and available for download. There are a number of new cars added to the game, as well as the Mid Ohio track (plus variations) and the Spa Francorchamps race way.
Who the hell was waiting? Didn't know people actually still play this game yet alone bought it.
Looks like Forza with a slightly better graphics. But still can't compare to GT.
Looks like another flop on the 3FIXME.Get that pre-order Jolly1.
so mistaken !
GT for practice. Thus the reason, GT is the foremost race car simulation for the race car enthusiast. The race car simulation game for the thinking gamer. This game and the Forza series are just too arcady to be a simulation. All Forza has going for it is the user created design on their car. I wonder what this game have to offer.
