the best racing/driving game I know is Motor Town: Behind the Wheel.
Don’t let the graphics fool you. Check out nexusmods, get the most popular ones and hoon to your hearts content – it’s not quite as deep as BeamNG or My Summer Car (which I also recommend, but they are not my favorites), but you can do some very goofy shit (1000HP EV engine in a go-kart is a personal favorite). Plus there’s tons more to do besides just races. It looks like a deceptively simple game, it is not.
My Summer Car isn’t even really a racing game, it’s a Finland simulator that happens to involve fixing a car. And it’s also possibly the best “actions have consequences” game. An example: There is a local drunk you can sell booze to, who will regularly call you and ask for a ride home from the pub. Spoilers follow.
1
If you stiff him by selling him bottles filled with water instead of alcohol, he will slash your tires and cut your brake lines.
2
After giving him several rides home, he will drunkenly confide in you about winning the lottery, not having told his wife, and that he hid a suitcase full of money in the woods. You can actually find this suitcase and steal his money.
3
If you steal the money, some time later, you’ll go to sleep and awaken to him in your bedroom with an axe, about to kill you. You can knock him out and escape fairly easily, however
4
at the end of the game if you’ve stolen the money his body will be found swinging from a noose underneath a nearby bridge, and will have left a suicide note pinned to his front door by an axe.
