So the best racing game of all time is what? GT3? Burnout Paradise? Need for Speed Hot Pursuit ? Forza Horzon 4? PGR 3? CMR 2.0? Rallisport 1?

*For thread purposes excluding kart racers aka Mario kart, futuristic racers like Wipeout or stuff like wave race.

Forza Horizon 4 is the most i've ever enjoyed a racing game. I still boot it up just to drive around and have fun in even if i'm not racing. 2nd place would be Burnout Paradise I think. Both make the act of driving so fun even outside of racing.

Burnout 3, Midnight Club 3, Wipeout VR and Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled are my faves

Edit: seems like weird restrictions so then burnout 3 or midnight club 3 ig

I'll second Beetle Adventure Racing!

(only because Mario Kart: Double Dash, which I played with my 5-year old son, doesn't count)

Burnout 3: Takedown

The speed, the beautiful crashes, signature takedowns, perfect early 2000's soundtrack, and a course selection I've memorized like the back of my hand. The king.

I only played the demo but Rollcage was probably my favorite racing thing. I also played a metric ton of Ignition multiplayer with friends back in the day and we loved it.

In terms of actual racing, probably Rage Racer.
I prefer Burnout 3 and FH3, but not really for the racing side of it.

My vote goes towards Ridge Racer Type 4 or the two PSP Ridge Racer games. Pure arcade style drifting thrills. Miss that series q.q

PGR2 for me. First racer I played online and I still have memories of doing 5 laps of Nurburgring at night in Caterhams. Plus the Kudos system still holds up.

Forza Horizon 4 is the best car game. EDIT: actually for its time, Test Drive Unlimited was better. What an amazing game.

The best racing game without a doubt is iRacing. Nothing made me feel like a real racing driver like that game.

Depends on the definition of racing but probably iRacing still, though I've not had subscription in years and they don't want to offer any discounts to returning players. Off the track Richard Burns Rally.

F-Zero GX never ceases to amaze me all these years later. It feels so good, the music is excellent, and the stages are incredibly diverse in design and play. Truly a top tier game.

Burnout 3 pretty easily for arcade-style racers.

Probably Forza Motorsport 4 or Gran Turismo 6 for sim-style.
