I spent a lot of time on forza 6 and a lot on money on iracing. but eventually stopped racing. It is not fun any more and there is no respect in online racing. Just people wrecking each other

Rush 2, but just the stunts track

Mario kart 8 deluxe and super tux kart

I really wanted to try Forza Horizon but the closest game like it I could get my hands on was NFS Heat, which I had a lot fun playing. Riders Republic was also fun if you want a non car racing game. I guess I'm just into open world racing.

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage was a real banger that I played the shit out of

ACC, rFactor

Dirt Rally 2 with even a cheap driving simulator setup is incredible. It's like the dark souls of racing games, and doesn't hold your hand at all.

Assetto Corsa is another great one with a simulator. The amount of mods, cars, and tracks added to the game has made enough content to keep someone entertained for probably their whole life.

Really, any modern racing game that uses wheel and pedals are amazing compared to what existed before that. Luckily, even the good direct drive wheels and good pedal setups have gotten more affordable in recent times.

Not the Greatest of all time, but Growing up the two racing games I’d play the most was Forza Horizon and Little Big Planet Karting. Sadly I had to drop LBPK after my PS3 died and Forza Horizon I can’t find the disk for anymore.

Rumble Racing enjoyer

Road trip adventure for the ps2

• Need for Speed: Most Wanted

• Slipstream

• Mario Kart DS / Double Dash / Wii

Nobody is calling either game GOATs, but I personally really like Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and Cartoon Network Racing.

Distance

it's highly replayable esp because of Steam Workshop modding support, it's got excellent singleplayer campaigns, fun online multiplayer racing with friends and arcade modes, soundtracks that really gets the blood 🤌P U M P I N G🤌🔥

also works on Linux with no issues✨

Here's also the 1.3 Electric Boogaloo Update

and 1.5 Kinetic Update🤗

While not exactly a traditional racing game, I always loved the Stuntman series.

Recently discovered Night Runners (free demo on steam if you are interested). The soundtrack is a blast and it is very fun. Very hyped for the official release :)

I think they still have issues at the emulation so many maybe haven't had the chance but Project Gotham racing as a series is great. If youve liked modern GRIDs I highly suggest them.

My go to would be Burnout3, revenge, or dominator.

More modern probably Forza horizon but the formula is running a bit long for me.

What was that older one now, with the biggest game map in the world at the time? I think dirt.

Very beautiful atmospheric game with a lonely feel but fun driving

I am really surprised nobody mentioned yet

CarX Drift Racing Online

Best drifting game ever. A lot of customization, visual and performance of cars.

Any Black Box made Need for Speed.

(Currently busy fixing Pro Street, so many bugs...)
