Wait for the Steam summer sale, the general internet consensus is that it starts on Thursday, then look here: Steam sale thread: Summer 2013 edition. I'll post recommendations for anything I think is worth grabbing and I'm sure others will too.

To answer your question though, if you want a racing game you really need look no further than Race 07, at least to begin with. That (with all the add-ons) is pretty awesome... But my advice would be to wait for the sale to start then grab either the Simbin complete pack (for all their games and add-ons) or Race Injection (if you only want Race 07), because Steam can be a bit funny when it comes to allowing you to buy any Race 07 bundles if you already own the base game, which is extremely cheap as it is.

ya im waiting for the sale but, i realy dont know what to buy haha, i heard the crysis 3 was amazing, dishonored was good too, i think ill buy the simbin bundle on steam. i wanted War Z ( survival something now ) but i i heard realy realy bad comments on this game, i think you told me one too. i need to buy gt5 back, but i think ill wait for the ps4 and gt6 and drive club. i also wanted day Z, but its a alpha on arma 2 and the real game is coming this year i think or its for 2014. The walking Dead have a game, but it looks more like a movie than a game. so i dont know what i should buy probably crysis and the simbin bundle but other than that i dont know, maybe ill just wait for the new games to release

EDIT: maybe i should buy dirt 3, i loved the first one, i played it like 3-4 years ago and still remember how much i loved that game
 
Crysis 3 - Yeah, I want this too. I haven't seen it cheap enough for my liking yet though.
Dishonored - I've got this and it is pretty great, it's a bit like Bioshock and a bit like Deus Ex, just without the conversations.
Simbin bundle - Definitely a good idea if you want a light racing sim. There are more hardcore options, but it's not exactly arcade either.
War Z - Definitely avoid. Do not buy this game.
GT5 - Might be worth waiting for GT6 now.
Drive Club - I can't comment on this at all, but it's not the same as GT. Fewer cars, an apparent focus on street racing...
DayZ - The standalone is meant to be out this year, so it might not be worth buying Arma 2 just to play it.
Arma 2 - Is an awesome game/military sim in its own right, but it's quite a niche game so you need to be sure you'll be into it. Very challenging, and if you do just want to play Arma and not DayZ, Arma 3 has almost replaced Arma 2 for a lot of people.
The Walking Dead - Be careful with this one, there's the Telltale game (called The Walking Dead) which is an adventure game, then there's The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct which is published by Activision, is a first person shooter and is absolute rubbish. Don't buy this either.
Dirt 3 - It's decent enough but it's quite far removed from the first game. Stages are short and as wide as a three lane motorway (freeway?). I haven't played much of Dirt 2 (I have played a fair bit of Dirt and Dirt 3 though) but I've heard it's better than Dirt 3 in many ways.

Frankly I don't think you'd be disappointed with any of the games mentioned apart from War Z and The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. You could also have a look at Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim, Dead Island (it's not a great game but it's not terrible and features zombies), the Arkham games (Asylum and City), Splinter Cell: Conviction, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Hitman Absolution... Oh and of course there's Portal 2 which is pretty great. And Assassin's Creed.

The WarZ (Infestation Survival Stories) probably plays better then when it was released but it still is not a good game. Pretty much everything else you asked about Neema has covered.
 
If you're into RTS games I can very much recommend Wargame: Airland Battle. Great fun, with very deep tactical and strategic gameplay elements.
