Racing games arguably found their footing on the original PlayStation more than any other console, as these bona fide classic PS1 racing games prove.

CTR: Crash Team Racing

The amount of time I put into this game and playing split screen with friends is insane. I would literally just play this for countless hours. Such a fun racing game.

Driver is not a racing game. Also, I think Motorhead deserves a place on that list.

[Yi-Long]

It doesn’t, because that was a PS3 game, not PS1.

I agree that was a great series though, including the top-down RC game.

A never-ending shame that Sony killed that studio.

You're thinking of Motorstorm. Motorhead was a PS1 racer that came out in 1998.

[Yi-Long]

You are absolutely correct, dear sir. I hang my head in shame, and I tip my head to you in appreciation for mentioning Motorhead, which was mighty fine indeed!

Ridge Racer Type 4, to this very day, is my favorite racing game. That freaking intro is such a banger! Gets me stoked every time!

I think Micro Maniacs deserves a mention.
Me along with my brothers and cousins spent countless hours with that game.
