Thats not true. I like some racing games. Such as F-Zero,Redout 1 and Burnout and Mario Kart. I dont care for realistic racing sims though. Based on what I like any games you would recommend :3
I wanna go fast and make vroom vroom noises. (I dont even have a car IRL cause cars are the devil but I think fast things are fun in games)

Rock n’ Roll Racing, a sci-fi themed SNES racer in which you use prize money to buy vehicles upgrades like better engines, armor, guns, and mines. Soundtrack includes chiptune renditions of songs by bands such as Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
Holy shit.

If motorcycles are your jam then there’s Road Redemption on Steam. It’s like Mario Kart but much more brutal, with guns, swords (and decapitations), and blunt weapons (to knock helmets off to pave way for decapitations).
Edit: forgot to mention, the game display artwork shows a cop about to get nailed with a nailbat. Also I think you get extra points for getting cops. Just saying.
Road Redemption is so ridiculous in a good way. Worth the jankiness.
Yeah the weapon-switching is a bit awkward but the racing combined with the combat make it absolutely beautiful. Doing it all at ridiculous speeds makes it that much more thrilling. There’s few video games that aren’t VR that can make you sweat but that’s absolutely one of them.
Garfield Kart is the only racing game series I need.
You should definitely try Blur which was 360 and PS3.
I just set up an abandonware PC copy of Blur with amax-emu earlier this month, it was shockingly straightforward to get online play back and is a rare game that honestly looks as good as I remember.
And this was on a steam deck, I imagine it’d be even easier on a normal PC.
Give Flatout 1 or 2 a shot. They’re arcadey racers with a focus on destructible cars and wrecking your opponents. There’s also a separate party game mode with lots of silly physics minigames mostly revolving around launching your car’s driver through the windshield as a ragdoll to play curling, darts, soccer, etc
Squandered franchise, they really messed up in a similar way to Skate.
The Wreckfest games are the modern equivalent from the original developers, but yeah, they don’t have the same kind of audience Flatout 1 and 2 had.
Crash Team Racing is goated, as is Diddy Kong Racing
I haven’t played Diddy Kong Racing in like 15 years and will still randomly get the track music stuck in my head sometimes. That game had no right to be as good as it was.
Actually, after the gaming revolution of 1998 and the establishment of The Republic Of Gamers, all games have the right to be good.
Can’t have bad games anymore because of woke 😔
Maybe if you learned your history you’d know about the Retro Gaming; Retroactive amendment to the Gamer’s Bill Of Rights created in joint with the UN gaming commission in 1999 as well, but whatever.
Split Second is a cool hidden gem that has tons of map destruction and changes the course up each lap.
Just too bad the PC port is horrible.
I used to play Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing on my 360, I remember really liking this game, but from what I seen the newest one, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, is really good too, and it has Hatsune Miku which is super cool!
For games with no vroom vroom noises if speed is enough for you:
- I used to love playing Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, but from what I have seen online, the consensus is that the first Riders game is considered better, tho I never played it, and there’s also a modding scene for both with competitive play. This video goes over it if you’re interested.
- Haste is an indie game about running super fast that looks super cool, but I haven’t played it yet.
- If you’re into shooters, Ultrakill let’s you get FAST, blasting through no stop at the speed of light scratches an itch in my brain I didn’t knew could be scratched. Also the fanbase is thirsty for Gabriel (yes, the angel) and constantly makes yaoi of him and V1 (the playable character) if you’re into that.
There’s also arcade racers that tend to be beloved like Daytona for example, but I never played any of them.
The second one ‘Sonic All Star Racing Transformed’ is decent too. You transform between a car, a plane and a boat depending on the part of the stage.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
See I want realistic so I can funnel my autism into tuning the car to be juuuust perfect for the right scenario.
Oooh let’s increase camber and decrease caster. Maybe decrease bump stiffness but add a touch of rebound.

It’s people like yourself that make the world such a beautiful place 🥲
I was surprised how much I enjoyed that Star Wars Pod Racing game when it came out.
Oh hey I played the OG a fuckton on my N64 way back in the olden days as a kiddo. Its a legit solid sci-fi racing game
I always wanted a current-gen remake where the Star Wars of it all was almost completely stripped out of the game, and it’s just an online racing sim where there are so many interchangeable parts to build your custom pod that there is no meta.

tldr: at least as much 4 player split-screen fun as mario kart, but tends to run on most potatoes and is 6€. visually stunning, challenging, very enjoyable.
i was sceptical at first, but it’s right up there with mario kart (and for me wrc) as great single and multiplayer fun. i really love it for how bonkers it feels sometimes. it’s not as resource heavy as many other modern titles, has a great linux native version and tends to be fascinating to look at too. what confused and made me struggle at first is that you need to create multiple (offline in-game) profiles, one for each user in your split screen race (up to four ppl). so, if your controller needs some settings to be changed, you need to change it within the profile you’re using for your race. this is really cool as that way each player can have their own custom setup, but it really confused me at first…
They need to bring back the CaRPG. It’s such a shame what happened to Gran Turismo, there was nothing like it
there was a game called roadtrip adventure I think
Yes! I loved the Gran Turismo games, and I’m not a car or racing fan. The game loop was extremely satisfying, but the more recent games seem to have lost some of the things that made the game interesting.
Initial D is the only racer I love
SPEEDY SPEEDY BOY
GASOLINE’S BURNIN IN
I love using shitty everyday cars in realistic racing games.
Download Sega Model 2 and Model 3 emulators and you can play Sega Rally 1 & 2, Daytona USA 1 & 2, Indy 500, Sega Touring Car Championship, etc.
There’s been something of a modern revival in arcade racing games too with games like Parking Garage Rally Circuit (has mods and lots of user created tracks too, with official DLC coming soon) and Victory Heat Rally.
