California Speed is one of the worst games I can't stop playing.

The game is objectively garbage but with all the interesting settings to race through (the inside of a computer, spaceship, on a roller coaster, or through a volcano) and the multitude of tracks and cars, it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

The game feels like it was programmed in a hurry. The physics are blah, the sound and graphics are mediocre, and it just looks like they brushed it aside to move onto bigger and better things.

But again, fuck me, the game is really addicting to play through.

You forgot these:
Biker Mice From Mars

Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat
Formula One: Built to Win

Anyway while there are lots of good 2D racing games I have to say racing games are one the few genres that actually got better in general with the "everything now needs to be 3D in order to be good" mindset from mid 90s, especially the more realistic racing games took a huge step forwards.

Anyone played Vanishing Point?

available on dreamcast and playstation.

It was made by a team who were all big fans of sega racing games. The game is great, it's like a love letter to sega.

I like the way that the game starts out bare-bones and you unlock extra cars and stuff by winning races.

Sega Rally's dirt slides wasn't like today's drift, it didn't lock on into drift mode and easy to pull off at any curve. You can't just pull it off out of your ass and rely on it, it actually takes effort and you can lose control of it very fast if you're not cautious. Drift to win is what modern arcade racing games are about, I don't particularly enjoy it.

NASCAR Rumble was amazing. Especially since the PS1 got a really shitty version of Rush 1 and there was no good equivalent till then.

The soundtrack was surprisingly great as well

People said this game sucks, but they sucked at playing it. Besides the classic NFS games and CTR, this was my go-to racing game.

The sequel sucked, like all other 989 Studios games.
