rFactor is awesome, and as close to running an F1 car or an old Group B rally car as I'm ever going to come.

And, of course, there is snow - even 20-30 mph is pretty exciting when there's a foot of snow on the road, ice is even better - brings a whole new meaning to four wheel drift (which, when done wrong ends in four wheels in a (snow) drift).
