Depends on platform and what type of racing you like. For example if Xbox/pc and like arcade racers Forza Horizon I think is good.

If you like open wheel simulation, the F1 series is good. Latest is F1 23. But depending on settings can have a high learning curve.

The only oval racer I’d recommend is World Of Outlaws Dirt Racing.

I have a gaming pc but my wife uses it a lot so it would be a ps5.

Obviously depends what you're looking for.

I really love Grid Legends which is an arcade closed circuit racer with a big variety of car classes and event types.

Dirt 5 is also a fun arcade off-road game.

You really can't go wrong with the Forza Horizon games.

For specific irl series I enjoyed the World of Outlaws game, Nascar Heat 4/5, and WRC Generations. Your mileage may vary with those depending on how much you're into those particular series.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is a classic with upgraded resolution and all the DLC.

Wreckfest is also a very good racer under all the mayhem.


I forgot Hot Wheels Unleashed. Another very fun arcade racer. Looks great and perfect if you love Hot Wheels.

I went to high school for a couple years in the late 60's in Knoxville IA and got interested in sprint car racing at that time. I bought the Tony Stewart game and it left a lot to be desired.

If World of Outlaws is an upgrade I might try it. F1 looks like a deep game and that might be what I enjoy.

You may want to narrow down what you're looking for in a racing game.
Perfectly realistic handling and mechanics? Mario Racing? Racing with a storyline like the PS2 NFS games? Turbo charged action games? Real cars but in fictional tracks in real cities, F1, NASCAR?...

Realistic racing on the track. Good career mode.
