Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.
Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.
Every racing game not trying to sim stupid cars is gold these days.
I really enjoyed some Xbox game called "quantum redshift" and I've been trying to capture that feeling ever since. VR game called Redoubt gets close.
GT3 had the right amount of advanced and customization without going overboard or being too realistic. It was my sweet spot.
Rallye Racing 97
Had fun with the original Forza Horizon and Midnight Club L.A.
Midnight Club was my absolute jam back in the mid oughts, loved the shit out of that game. Kinda got away from the Arcade style racers, but that game has a special place for me.
GOAT: F-zero GX
Best kart: sonic and all stars racing transformed
Best drifter: inertial drift
Best arcade: track mania turbo
Best Car Combat: Gas Guzzlers extreme
Great topic for discussion.

I don't typically go for racing games, but I have fond memories of playing Extreme-G on the N64. It had wepons, high speeds, and a soundtrack that tricked a young me into thinking I might like techno music.
Trackmania
Burnout 2: Point of impact (got me into burnout) Burnout paradise Split/second
I don't know if it counts, but for me it's Distance
Any AG racing fans in here?
BalisticNG is my latest main game, but my love began with the WipEout series.
I also enjoy Redout and Redout 2, but the lack of weapons means I can only go so long before needing to play WipEout or BNG again.
Obligatory mention of !ballisticng@sopuli.xyz
Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I'm in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.
Major fan hear. BallisticNG is such a love letter to WipEout, its fantastic
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.
I generally hate racing games. The one I do remember playing a lot was 1990's Stunts. It was an early polygonal game. You could make your own tracks. It's was pretty ahead of its time.
Nobody is calling either game GOATs, but I personally really like Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and Cartoon Network Racing.
Old Gran Turismo, Wreckfest, and Rollcage are mine.
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.
