I go to our local tracks as much as possible as I'm working toward a racing license.
IMO, the best available racing sim is GTR FIA GT Racing made by Simbin. You can download tracks from the US to practice before you actually go to the track. When paired with a Logitech? wheel and a good computer system it is almost like you are on the track. The physics are the best I've ever seen for any game.
I like NASCAR games, but I've only bought the NASCAR 2005 for XBOX.
I use a logitech momo (black not the red

). NASCAR Racing 2003 by Sierra/Papyrus is currently the best NASCAR game, IMO. EA Sports is too arcadish, factor in the new team control they are just adding gimmicks instead of fixing the real problem with their NASCAR games. Once NASCAR 2005 came out and failed to meet the big hype, NR2003 went from under $10 on eBay to over $100. It still ranges from $50 to $100 but it is slowly coming back down.
Good luck on getting your license.
