For me: the Out Run OST. Everyone listens to and praises Nintendo OSTs or Square Enix, but Out Run is something else. I have rarely listened to video game music that catchy.
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge and Project Gotham Racing.
Burnout 3
NFS underground or most wanted.
I wouldn’t call them my favourites, but will call them a perfect fit. The licensed soundtrack in MW has exactly the correct feel for the game.
Prostreet too
MX Vs. ATV Unleashed
Something about the early 2000s alt and buttrock that just does it for me.
Flatout: Ultimate Carnage or Need For Speed: Underground
Yep Underground
Ridge Racer Type 4 isn’t here?
Boo.
in the following order:
My shortlist is probably WipEout Pulse (I love how that entire series feels like a game made out of electronic music, the same way Doom is made out of metal), WipEout 2048 (for the same reason, but I played it even more), Forza Motorsport 2 (cuz it had a huge influence on my taste at a very young age), and then maybe Gran Turismo 5?
ATV Off-road Fury had a good one
It’s not a car racing game, but SSX 3 had such a great soundtrack. It’s hard to find nowadays.
Moto Racer 2 soundtrack, my favorite ska punk “album”
Sonic R
It’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
Burnout Paradise 🎶Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty🎵
Does SSX count as a racing game?
If so, SSX was huge for my prepubescent self.
Art Of Rally!

Rocket Leagues first OST. The following seasons had some good stuff as well, but man, 2015s Rocket League featured a string of bangers!
