A subcategory of [[Sports Game|Sports Games]]s. You are on a course or given a course to take and your goal is to get from point A to point B as fast as you can, usually before your opponents do. Sometimes you're just the car, and you never even see the driver, sometimes you drive nothing at all.
 
Most racing games are [[Driving Game|Driving Games]] and all sit somewhere on a line between "arcade" and "simulation". Toward the arcade end [[Every Car Is Rear Wheel Drive]] and brakes are nearly unnecessary; toward the simulation end, games like ''[[Gran Turismo]]'' and ''[[Forza Motorsport]]'', where brakes are the only thing saving you from skidding head-on into the wall and cars are as close as can be made to their [[Real Life]] analogues. The most popular racing games are the ones that blend arcade style with real-life cars and locations, or ones that feature an already-popular franchise. Stricter driving sims are more the preserve of the PC market, where there are large online racing and modding groups.
