    Hey guys,
    do you have a list of racing games that can be played in local LAN?

    You could add the ones you know if you want to.

    Grid 1 and Split Second were a lot of fun for me, I remember playing those with friends. Flatout 1 and 2 also, lots of fun.

    Some older Need for Speed games had LAN, I think Underground, Most Wanted..

    Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 can be played LAN.
    Prodigy covered the others I know, I will add rfactor to the list

    Split second was a good game, but I could not really get the feedback through the wheel right

    I reinstalled my old PC with the DFGT for try having some LAN fun, but had no luck...

    I installed Dirt2 on both PC, but when I launch Steam from one PC it disconnects from the other, and if I go offline on Steam, GFWL do not connect and can't play multiplayer.
    Is there any workarounds?

    I only have cracked version of Dirt2 and they are both the same version and the LAN directly with no internet, just a LAN cable between them
    Steam only works on one PC at a time connected to the net I think.
    You could try setting both to offlline mod of steam and give that a run

    Dirt can't be played online anymore, since GFWL service is shut down. There are a lot of discussion over that on Steam, people wanting refund or the working online.

    I haven't played Dirt2 in years.. Maybe through Hamachi a network connection could work..

    Dirt2 servers can be found through Game Ranger I think
    Where you become the host server.
