Racing games usually get your adrenaline up high. Racing against other opponents, overcome the obstacles, and become the king of the race. Nothing feels better than that. Today, we bring you the best racing games to bring out the racer in you!

1. Forza Horizon 3

Forza Horizon is the famous racing game series from Microsoft, and one of the best racing games. This has been released for both PC and Xbox (sorry PlayStation owners, you have to find other alternatives). This game series has always been praised for its large collection of racing cars, beautiful landscapes, and a variety race tracks, with obstacles to make it challenging. You can choose different types of races too, such as rallying, doing stunts, or just normal racing.

The most recent installment, Forza Horizon 3, also allows you to be in charge of creating the races yourself. The game setting is in Australia, with the beautiful landscapes portrayed realistically on devices. Now, being the event coordinator, you have to take care of every step of the race, such as inviting racers, choose locations, etc. This will not only test your racing skills, but also a little bit of your management skills as well. This is quite an interesting features compared to other racing games.

2. DiRT

From the name, maybe you could have guessed that there will be a lot of dirt and sand involved. True enough, you will get to experience the rugged feeling of racing in almost every type of race tracks, and different weather condition. That includes some of the sandy, or dirty tracks, hence the name. With enhanced graphics, a wide range of cars to choose from (even from the 80’s), and the rallying race, where you complete races in a time limit, you will certainly be able to test your skills here. The most recent installment is DiRT Rally.

3. Need for Speed

This is a very long running racing game series by Electronics Arts (EA). Throughout many iterations of the game, the fundamentals stay the same: you race to win in-game currency to develop or buy cars, and to unlock new race tracks. Even though the core stays the same, the game has never felt boring by players. With large collection of cars, beautiful race tracks, and awesome physics (especially in the recent franchise reboot in 2015 with the title Need for Speed), gamers will surely enjoy the race.

4. F1

Like the name suggests, the F1 series is a simulator of the world-famous sporting event, the F1 race. The simulator is so good that it will portray the races as if you are participating in the race yourself. From sponsors, real teams, and real vehicles, be ready to see F1 in an almost real experience.The latest installment of the series is, naturally, F1 2016. It is definitely one of the best racing games.

5. Mario Kart

Contrary to the seriousness of the above games, Mario Kart gives off a different vibe. This game looks really funny, and very Mario-like. You will choose one of signature Nintendo characters, such as the Mario Bros, and then one of the funny vehicles. Each of them has different strengths and weaknesses, and the race tracks also have boosters along the way to use to your advantage. Besides winning the game, you can blast or crush your opponents while racing too. There are many modes to choose from, and it’s always fun to play in multiplayer mode. The latest game is Mario Kart 8, for the Wii U.
