5 racing games that nailed realistic driving physics – and 3 that didn't

Way back in 2004 Richard Burns Rally was released for Windows, as well as PS2, Xbox and even the ill-fated Gizmondo handheld (remember that?). Astonishingly, the PC iteration at least maintains a small following today, due to its realistic physics and continued updates in the form of fan-made mods. In 2015 the 'Next Generation Physics' mod kept the game, on the inside at least, up to date and still competitive with its more glamorous successors.
