get a ps3: GRAN TURISMO 5, but depends on what you like.
for touring i would say race 07
rally go for a dirt game
over the top arcade NFS hot pursuit
and also formula 1 = F1 2010
but in the end its all up to you and which racing style you like best. I personally like rally so I would buy Dirt but its what you like best.

Mario Kart 
Oops, that's not on Steam but I'll stand by it.

Burnout Paradise or Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
...there are no other options.

It depends on if you want arcade or sim -- there is no "best". I really liked Dirt 2 (which is what we are benchmarking this week if you want to checkout the demo: http://edgegamers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=152230), it's slightly arcadey. Split Second is a ton of fun if you want completely arcade, as is Blur for mario kart type racing. iRacing is the "best" simulator around -- it's not on Steam, but it's the best that any platform has to offer supposedly. I'm not that hardcore into racing, but if you are look into it. F1 is a great sim that's available on Steam, but it's much more specialized -- only F1 racing.
i would suggest that if your looking for a free racing game, look into trackmania nations forever. its the sequel to trackmania nations. majority of the tracks in the servers for the game are all user-created, so theres a vast variety of creativity out there. also its 1 of the few internationally known games where you face off against players from other countries.
for those of you who dont know, trackmania is a mix of f1 & nfs.

There's no winner, at least, on PC; but I'll say Blur over Hot Pursuit.
It's basically Mario Kart w/ real cars. Only problems are: it's a console port so the interface is not adjusted for the PC(i.e. lacking a lot of features), there's a low sized community, and like every other racing game...there are cheaters.

Gran Turismo 5, hands down.
Also, Need for speed Hot Pursuit.
NFS is on STEAM.
Gran Turismo 5 is for ps3 and has no comparison. forza likes to try comparing, but it straight up sucks.

Best Racing game on steam... would have to say Need for Speed: Shift
It leans more toward the sim side... but excellent game.
Grid is a really great arcade game. I liked it better than Dirt 2.
Trackmania... ehh.. ok..
Although I've read good things about Blur as well.
Need for Speed: Shift 2 will be out in about a month.. Can't wait.
