The Duel-Test Drive II is available on the Mac.  It is pretty good and is very
accurate at "rewarding" smooth drivers with less speed loss on corners, which
is VERY true when racing.  Grand Prix Circuit is a very good simulation (at
higher levels) of what racing is truly like - and it isn't easy!  In fact, I
do pretty well on the track, and attribute that to the HOURS I've spent with
GPC!
