OK, put down that spoon, the best C64 games are like so:

1: Revs+
2: Motor Mania
3: Raid Over Moscow
4: PitStop II
5: Action Biker


1- Amazing & CLASSIC Formula 3 sim by Geoff Crammond -- I particular
   noted the way you had to fire the engine up with 'T', and could
   stall the car if you spin and forget to drop to clutch. LOVED IT
2- An absolute CLASSIC in C64 gamedom -- 1 player Spy Hunter style
   graphics, loved the way you needed to stop for fuel and could
   puncture tyres etc.
3- An original and varied game format --  It's got Zaxxon style bits,
   shooting bits, flying bits - classic gaming.
4- Top 2-player racing -- a good balance of arcade/sim -- excellent
   the way you did your own pitstops (tyre changes and fuel)
5- Clumsy Colin on a bike in a £2 Mastertronic game; ride around
   suburbia looking for bike upgrades, nice feeling of freedom;
   ride over the roller-coaster just for the hell of it.

Note that they are not *all* driving games :-)
