Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.
Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.
Every racing game not trying to sim stupid cars is gold these days.
I really enjoyed some Xbox game called "quantum redshift" and I've been trying to capture that feeling ever since. VR game called Redoubt gets close.

Had fun with the original Forza Horizon and Midnight Club L.A.
GOAT: F-zero GX

Best drifter: inertial drift
Best arcade: track mania turbo
Best Car Combat: Gas Guzzlers extreme
Trackmania
I don't know if it counts, but for me it's Distance
I don't typically go for racing games, but I have fond memories of playing Extreme-G on the N64. It had wepons, high speeds, and a soundtrack that tricked a young me into thinking I might like techno music.
Great topic for discussion.

Recently discovered Night Runners (free demo on steam if you are interested). The soundtrack is a blast and it is very fun. Very hyped for the official release :)
I really wanted to try Forza Horizon but the closest game like it I could get my hands on was NFS Heat, which I had a lot fun playing. Riders Republic was also fun if you want a non car racing game. I guess I'm just into open world racing.
