What a dumb list and an impossible task to attempt..

However, I can't hate on anything that gives a shoutout to Mashed (although the sequel Wrecked is better in many ways).. Why the series didn't continue or at least Wrecked wasn't ported to Switch is a mystery to me, these are the perfect couch co-op party games.

Excluding F-Zero GX is like excluding Bloodborne from your "Top 10 Lovecraftian Soulsborne PS4 Games" list.

And OutRun is top 10, easy.

The fact that Diddy Kong Racing isn't on this list is shameful.

There's an obvious lack of simulators there. Only iRacing is worthy of entering in a top 25 list?

Luke Riley knows his racing games, and he had the most contribution to this list. I think I like it.

TOCA Race Driver 3 is SUCH a complete package of a game, it rivals many modern games.
And Driver San Fransico is such a novel and creative, game, I'm shocked this came from modern day Ubisoft. (RIP Reflections)
Picking GT3 over GT4 is a strange decision, but ok.

Is FH3 really that good over FH4?

Well yeah. A list of racing games without the first Sega Rally or Scud Race deserves no consideration from me. It just tells me the person who has done it didn't seet foot in the arcades.

Wipeout > F-Zero. Yes, a good list!

Actually the list is pretty bad, but plenty of great games on there.

I misread Forza Horizon 3 as Motorsport 3, got really confused. I mean, FM3 ended up being my most played of that particular series in the end anyway, I guess.

It's a weird list. Trials HD? No Sega Rally?
I wouldn't personally choose Burnout 3 as my #1, but I can respect it. I miss that game.

The weirdest thing about this list is Wreckfest imo, at 24.

Like that games alright... but it's just okay. Aside doing the damage physics justice, it doesn't have a lot going for it. The event/campaign structure is poor, the tracks aren't that interesting, vehicle handling isn't that exciting. It could be a much better game.

Easy to swap that one for something like Motorstorm Pacific Rift.

I've won races in Burnout 3 without steering at all, only holding down the accelerator button. Number one racing game for sure.
