Whether you are a petrolhead in the physical space or in a virtual world, there’s actually a tonne of skill to these games. With the need for quick reflexes and fast thumbs, we’ll look at, in our opinion, the 6 best racing video games of all time. There are a few exemptions from this list which are:

– Games based in the future (No Wipeout or F-Zero).

– Kart based games (No Mario Kart)

– Only games released before 1990 (sorry OutRun).

– The games have to involve racing (No Rocket League)

So…Ready. Set. Go.

R4 Ridge Racer Type 4

UK Release Date: 16th April 1999

Forza Motorsport 7

UK Release Date: 3rd October 2017

Consoles: PC, Xbox One

Description
: The premier racing game of the modern era. This game features an extensive list of cars available. From Alfa Romeo’s to Volvo’s. You’d be hard to please if you weren’t impressed by the roster of cars available.

Dirt 4

Gran Turismo

Consoles: PlayStation One

Description:
The father of modern racing video games. This was a gaming revolution when it first came out in the late 1990s. Boasting the best-reviewed racing game of all time based on innovative gaming mechanics. Many sequels later, none have been able to reproduce the charm of the original.
