Wreckfest — 5. WRECKFEST (PC, PS4, Xbox One) - Crash racing games such as Destruction Derby or FlatOut were very popular some time ago, but the genre is now almost extinct. Good thing that Wreckfest exists. That hits exactly into this notch. Thanks to a detailed damage model and a clever physics simulation, the shreds fly everywhere, even if the graphics should improve a bit. (Image credit: THQ Nordic)

Rocket league — 4. ROCKET LEAGUE (PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One) - Is this still a racing game? Rocket League is an esports-compatible racing sports game hybrid in which cars race to score goals in an arena with a giant ball. It's arcadic, it has cars, so it kind of passes for a racing game. It's incredibly fun and keeps you motivated forever thanks to a lot of unlocks. (Image credit: Psyonix)

Trackmania review — 3. TRACKMANIA (PC) - Trackmania is easy to learn, but is sophisticated enough to keep even professionals glued to their monitors for hours. The fact that the PC-exclusive racing game is also available for free makes things even better. Try it out, have fun, never get away from it again. (Image credit: Ubisoft)

Mario kart 8 deluxe — 2. MARIO KART 8 DELUXE (Nintendo Switch) - Mario Kart is the king among multiplayer racing games. The eighth instalment for Nintendo Switch features the same great driving experience that fans have loved the series for years. It also features the largest field of drivers and the most varied courses in history. Mario Kart is perfection. (Image credit: Nintendo)

Forza horizon 4 — 1. FORZA HORIZON 4 (PC, Xbox One) - The Horizon offshoots in the open world have been the king of arcade racing games since the launch of the series. The current 4th installment is simply one of the best racing games ever. FH4 combines road racing, off-road, stages, fun game modes, a huge open world and a lot of secrets in one single game. And it looks amazing, too. It could hardly be better. (Image credit: Microsoft Game Studios)
