- Mario Kart 8. It's remarkable just how well Mario Kart 8 has held up after more than five years of being released. The game feels like it took everything from the previous entries, including the customization, gliding mechanics, and unique tracks, and improved on everything in a way that makes each circuit so much fun to play, especially against a few buddies.
- Burnout Paradise Remastered. Another remaster of a classic racing game that has amassed somewhat of a cult following over the years, there isn't much of anything bad to say about Burnout Paradise Remastered.
- Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit has already earned its title as one of the most iconic arcade racers in gaming history, so all the remaster had to do was give it a fresh coat of paint to make this well-known gem even better than it already was.
- Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. This faithful remaster of the fan-favorite Crash Team Racing was received extremely well by fans and critics upon its release, primarily because of how well the game retained that chaotic nature of the original and memorable characters while still adding plenty of new features to keep the experience fresh.

Hot Wheels Unleashed
Hot Wheels Unleashed is the very best game Italian developer Milestone has ever made. Simple. No arguments. In many ways, the studio had all the pieces it needed for a top-class racing game across the years. The recent MotoGP games feature impressive visuals, Monster Energy Supercross has a track creator and MXGPonline racing with spectator options. But, with the Hot Wheelsfranchise, there is a greater sense of purpose to tie all of these elements together. It also helps that the visuals are...
Rush Rally Origins
I bet you didn’t see this one coming because we nearly missed out on this too. A remake of a mobile racing game from 10 years ago, Rush Rally Originsis perhaps easy to overlook. Don’t. Available on iOS, Android, Amazon and Nintendo Switch – with PC coming soon – the top-down isometric or chase-cam rally game is a delight, with responsive handling being the key to its moreish gameplay. It just feels so good. Once you’ve acclimatised, you can take your off-road monster to the edge of its abilit...
Forza Horizon 5
It was inevitable. You expected it. Of course, Forza Horizon 5is one of the best racing games of 2021. But, in some ways, far from a foregone conclusion. In our review, we awarded the latest open-world racer from Microsoft our coveted ‘Buy Now’ award – our top possible score. A little overwhelming at times, currently suffering from overloaded online systems and arguably too much of a derivation from the fourth instalment, we still found its Mexican location, car collecting, accessibility and...
iRacing
This year, iRacing added more than a dozen new cars to the stable, including the NASCAR NEXT Gen vehicles that will debut in 2022, a pair of TCRs, and the biggest ticketed item of the year by far, the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance. The Formula Vee, some GT cars from Porsche, McLaren and Ferrari and a new Super Late Model were also introduced. For track content, iRacing went hard with tracks familiar on the Formula 1 calendar. Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg along with the supplementary P...
Assetto Corsa Competizione
Kunos Simulazioni’s tin-topped-racing simulator continued to evolve throughout 2021. It started the year with the long-anticipated British GT paid content packand the laser-scanned Oulton Park, Donington Park and Snetterton were worth the wait. After a subdued middle of the year, that included adding the 2021 GT World Challenge Europe liveries, Assetto Corsa Competizione went straight back to the top of the list for many sim racers following the version 1.8 update for PC. Sure, there was the...
Horizon Chase Turbo: Senna Forever
If you’d have said to us at the start of the year that retro arcade racer Horizon Chase Turbowill return to prominence in 2021 with an Ayrton Senna-themed tribute, then we would have claimed to be Alain Prost and wished you bonsoir. And yet, that’s exactly what did happen. Senna Foreverwas a delightfully charming recreation of the three-time world champion’s career – except within the Horizon Chase Turbo physics and aesthetic. As you boosted and fuel saved your way through cartoon recreations...
Wreckfest – PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
With how fresh the PS5 version of Wreckfestfelt this year, you’d be hard-pressed to tell that the game’s origins are rooted in 2014. But it’s true, the ‘Next Car Game’ really has been kicking around for that long in one form or another. But, after years of constant tweaks, updates and Tournament additions, seeing it run so smoothly and beautifully on Sony’s latest consolealmost made us weep. Until, that is, we played a round of Last Man Standing with friends, and the weeping was replaced with...
art of rally – PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
As you can tell by the number of articles, videos, streams and social media posts, the Traxion.GG team is a big fan of dune’sart of rally. It tickles our inner bobble-hatter. But, more than just a rally nerd’s nostalgia trip, the unique design, thumping score and hidden-item strewn open-world levels continued to enthral us long after the novelty of the thoughtful car and driver names had worn off. The game reached PlayStation and Xbox devices, plus the Nintendo Switchthis year, but it’s the P...
RIDE 4 – PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
Sometimes when a game receives an updated version on new hardware, it’s like a fog has lifted and you can see the game for what it really is. In the surprising case of Ride 4– a motorcycle racing game where the collection of bikes from throughout the ages is the core experience – playing the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version cast new light on an underrated game. Long before the viral videos showcasing its graphics, we reviewed the new versionand were impressed not just by the uplift in visuals...

- Burnout Paradise Remastered. Much like Forza Motorsport, the Burnout series saw a significant open-world overhaul that fans didn't quite realize they wanted.
- Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. EA's hit racing series has seen no shortage of new concepts and tweaks over the years—as a few developers have offered their own take on the formula.
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It goes without saying that Nintendo's hit kart racer is vastly different from the sleeker, more nuanced sensibilities of FH. Still, it's tough to leave this classic party game out of the fun when discussing notable racers on Switch.
- Grid Autosport. Being the ninth game in the TOCA series, this Codemasters series has quietly built a nice track record over its decades-long history. The series finally makes its debut on Switch with this touring car and motorsport racer, and in convincing fashion.
