Look at your avatar.

Uhh, Farcry 2? It's got so much realism you won't like it.

GRAW 2 if you can get past the Third person part.

Mario kart, its the most realistic mario themed kart racer available!

It doesn't get much more realistic than what you've already disregarded...

Perhaps Microsoft Flight Simulator?

EDIT:
I just remembered something.
Red Orchestra.
I heard that the realism made the game much harder than it would have been without.

Yeah, it's so realistic that no matter where you are, your grizzled old companion is there to drag you away from gunfire...
Also, I wouldn't use Far Cry's method of fixing an engine. I was angered to find that my truck didn't have a magic bolt.
Oh! And pulling a bullet from a hole doesn't make the hole magically disapper either.

EDIT: Whoops! My bad, I forgot to name a game.
I would try lowering my standards of realism, honestly. These are games we are talking about. Although, I have heard good things about Full Spectrum Warrior from some of my friends.

Basically all Tom Clancy games? GRAW2... Rainbow 6?

Red Orchestra.
