Name your Top 5 favorite racers ever.

1) Project Gotham Racing 2. I've spent so much time racing online with this game I don't even want to count anymore. Almost lag free, perfect voice support, perfect handling (not sim perfect, but "fun" perfect)
2) Both Rallisport. Excellent arcade sensations, with pretty graphics as a bonus.
3) F1 Spirit (obscure Konami game on MSX). I don't remember how much time I've spent playing this game so long ago, but it was such a great racer, with a lot of different races (from Rally to F1)
4) POD. On of my first 3dfx game. Really impressive when launched, and Ubisoft did great by releasing a lot of free bonus tracks.
5) Sega Rally 2. Nuf said :)

Ridge Racer 64 actually wasn't that bad. Better than that crap that was RRType 4, IMHO. At least Namco redeemed themselves with RRV. Still Rage Racer tops my list, along with Rock N Roll Racing, Top Gear 2, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, and Burnout 3: Takedown. NFSU, RRV, F-Zero get honorable mentions.
 
No particular order, really

Midnight Club 2 - had more fun playing this online than anything though
Burnout 3
Mario Kart (SNES)
F-Zero GX
Rage Racer
 
1. F-Zero X
2. Excitebike 64
3. Metropolis Street Racer
4. Waverace: Blue Storm
5. F-Zero GX

I wish Leftfield had been given another chance at the Excitebike franchise.
 
1- TOCA Race Driver 2
2- Dale Jarret and Terry Labonte Racing
3- Gran Turismo 2
4- Cruisin USA (arcade)
5- Race Drivin' (arcade)

Please tell me you mean the PSOne game, and not the shitty Xbox/PS2 game...
Click to expand...

Yes i mean the godly Xbox/PS2 version. Maybe you remember the shitty Pro Race Driver Xbox-Ps2?

Actually it's just a hair before "Dale Jarret and Terry Labonte Racing" (a codemaster Psone TOCA game under a very bad name) because of it's online mode. Dale Jarret and Terry Labonte is a better game in some other regards as there is a better cockpit view and night racing + better and dynamics weather effects.
 
1. Daytona USA (arcade)
2. Daytona USA 2 Battle on the Edge / Power Edition (arcade)
3. Rave Racer (arcade)
4. OutRun2 (Xbox)
5. Ridge Racer V (PS2)
 
Well, going by "feeling" value, I guess my (PC heavy) top5 in no particular order would be something like:

Fatal Racing
Death Rally
Slicks'n'Slide (does this count? :))
Moto GP (Xbox Live)
Slipstream 5000

Carmageddons rocked... and many of those scifi based racers, Dethkarz, Rollcage and others.
 
1. GT3 - there is none higher, sucker MCs call it sire :D
2. GT1
3. GT2 - didn't play as much as the other two
4. Wipeout XL
5. Formula 1: Championship Edition (PS1)

PEACE.

Ridge Racer Series
Colin McRae Rally Series
Mario Kart Series

There's a lot of other great racers out there too, but I have to say these are my top 5.
 
Rage Racer (PSX)
Pitstop II (C64) - I should have sued Epyx for 'Quickshot lockjaw thumb syndrome'. :lol
Final Lap 2 8-Player Link Up (Arcade)
Super Cycle (C64)
Virtua Racing (Arcade)
 
1. Need for Speed: High Stakes - all time favorite racer. It had everything that made NFS3 good but better tracks.

2. Ridge Racer (the first one on PSX) - played the hell out of it for years.

3. Mario Kart 64 - same as above but with the multiplayer

4. Wave Race 64 - amazing game with OK multiplayer. Just a fun game overall (GCN sequel made it too complicated).

5. Metropolis Street Racer - Just really stood out by rewarding stylish driving with standard racing.
 
In no order:

R4: Ridge Racer Type 4
Gran Turismo 2
Wipeout XL
Project Gotham Racing 2
Burnout 3

Honorable Mention for burning up many enjoyable hours back in the day: Jet Moto
 
1. Daytona USA (arcade)

#1 and it ain't close! Absolutely perfect control for just a fun arcade racing experience, never ever ever gets old. Multiplayer, forget about it. Ridiculously fun.

2. Super Monaco GP (Genesis)

This game was just absurdly good for its time. I still fondly remember earining my way on the Madonna team for the first time.

3. Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)
4. Sega Super GT (arcade)
5. Virtua Racing (arcade)
 
1) F-Zero- i have to agree, this is just such a well-balanced, fun but serious racer (F-Zero X mainly)
2) Mario Kart- multiplayer
3) Gran Turismo
4) Sega Rally
5) Colin McRae Rally

OMG, another Slicks 'n' Slide lover ! Me and my friends at university spent soooooo much time playing some 4 players sessions of that game, all on one keyboard. Intense fun.
I wonder if Timo Kauppinen works in the gaming industry now.
 
I put alot of time into each of these. All of them were great for their time.
