What is your favorite racing game?

Recommended Posts

I haven't played enough of them to say.  However, I want to!  Anyway, what is your favorite racing game or games?  What is your favorite type of racing game?  What are your achievements?   Have you played online?

O.K., of course I've played Mario Kart across different versions of Nintendo.  I also used to like this motorcycle one for Sega back in the 90s.

Racing games are constantly evolving, so you can't have one favorite. A new game comes around from time to time to dethrone the others.

So here are my favorite racing games over the times:

 

  1. Test Drive 3 1990
  2. Stunts 1991
  3. The Need for Speed 1995
  4. Motorhead 1998
  5. Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed 2000
  6. Gran Turismo 4 2004
  7. Test Drive Unlimited 2006
  8. Gran Turismo 5 2010
  9. NFS Shift 2 2011
  10. Project Cars 2 2017

 

Honourable mentions:

  • Car & Driver 1992
  • Fatal Racing 1995
  • Destruction Derby 1995
  • Need For Speed 2 SE 1997
  • Gran Turismo 1998
  • Gran Turismo 2 1999
  • 1nsane 2000
  • Street Legal Racing 2003
  • Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 2010
  • Gran Turismo 6 2013

 

I was a racing game fanatic, well I still would be, if there was any racing game worthy of the name.

I also love racing simulations that I excluded from this list.

From the long list that you have just narrated here, it's very obvious that you are indeed a big fan of racing games. It's only Dirt that I played which you didn't play.

I think that either the best Gran Turismo games or the best NASCAR games are among the bast racing games.  I've completed four different GT games.  I've won the NASCAR title in NASCAR '99.  I came in seventh in points in NASCAR Racing 2 once, that game was hard.  GT games are usually better than NASCAR games, especially when it comes to driving dynamics.  Obviously GT games give you more car selection than NASCAR (which is down to three makes now).  I'm usually more in the mood for a GT game, as I like to put money into a car and have an advantage on my opponents.

I was going to say that for a prolific race game player like you, you are definitely supposed to give Dirt a try too.
