I like the Road Rash games on Genesis a lot.

It’s a close call between Super Hang-On, World Rally and Colin McRae 2.0.
Ridge Racer for the PlayStation
I guess it depends on the definition of “Retro”. I never got into racing games until Jet Moto and Wipeout on the original Playstation.
Someone already beat me to Topgear, but I’m not seeing Mario Kart? Also GT2 on the PSX was great fun.
Grand Prix on Atari was pretty fun.
I suppose crash team racing would be considered retro now.
I spent countless hours finding all the secret paths and shortcuts
No clue whether people consider the wii retro yet, but it’s a tie between Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity on wii (since that’s how I experienced it) or Cartoon Network Racing on PS2 (same reason). I’m fairly certain PS2 is technically retro by now, as insane as that sounds.
Top Gear 3000. It’s the main reason why I have a SNES emulator installed on every device I own lol.
I hate that I can call this “retro” now, but 100% INITIAL D arcade machine or PSP game.
SPEEDY SPEED BOY
GASOLINE’S BURNIN’ IN
Ridge Racer 4 on PlayStation. Such great mechanics. It’s genuine fun.
Probably F-Zero GX. Though I’m older than that, I wasn’t playing racing games a lot before that. An older game I’d enjoyed a bit was POD (: Planet Of Death).
I’ve played Mario Kart quite a bit, starting back with super, but I can’t really pick one as my favorite retro racing game, because the one I like the most is 8. Though Wii came close.
It’s so satisfying when you get good at knocking out other racers. I remember as a teenager I would set my top speed to high and whittle down half of the other racers on my way to the front of the pack.
It’s easy to get in the top ten when you drop the racers count down fifteen places.
Hell yeah. And then you’ve got one of those crazy hard story mode challenges where you pretty much have to destroy as many opponents you can to have enough juice to win. The one with Michael Chain and his gang.
Lots of great ones mentioned here and while I don’t know if it’s my favorite, I have a deep soft spot for Super Off-Road. It has an incredible spatial sense and fluidity for its time and still holds up at any barcade.
Yeah, fair. Me and my brother definitely played alot of that.
The first that come to mind are, in no particular order:
Need for speed hot pursuit (PC)
Sonic drift 2 (game gear)
Monaco F1 (mega drive)
Death Rally (PC)
Big Red Racing (PC)
Ballistics (PC)
WipeOut (psx)
The racing game in the Sega 4in1 pack (game gear)
Virtua Racing (mega drive)
Micromachines (mega drive)
Penny Racers (psx)
All very different from another.
Almost forgot: carmageddon!
F-Zero X
I crave speed and murder
Lotus III or Micro Machines probably. Maybe Road Rash (either version).
