While all the ones I listed are great, I have to go with Sega Rally Championship. It's just too much fun to play. Virtua Racing and Daytona USA have quirks that I don't really happen to like (such as VR's insanely inaccurate driving physics or Daytona's habit of centering your car so it goes in a straight line, WTF). The later games I've never played so I can't comment on them.
If I forgot a game, it's because I clearly didn't know about it, so don't think I'm playing favorites here.
Daytona USA by far, then Rad Mobile, then Out Run
There's just something about VR that I just love. It's a nice blend of fun and nostalgia. :)
When you get into more "realistic" racing games, you move away from SEGA's offerings.
OP lacks Initial D.
daytona with 2 players
if i come across one i always play with my girl on it
Sega Rally all the way, can't say anything bad about it.

But Sega Rally 1 was made by Sega. How is it not in spirit?Quote:

You can usually find it at GameWorks and the like.
I was mainly focusing on games that were entirely owned by Sega. Like Virtua Racing, Daytona and Sega Rally.Quote:

It is available in the US, I just couldn't find a US image. :P It's pretty popular in arcades, too.
Alright then, if I could edit the poll, I'd add Initial D. to the list, but I can't...
I wasn't saying the SEGA realistic racing games are bad, just not the best. It's why I picked VR - it's almost the only game in its category. When you move to realistic racers, the SEGA games are good, but then they have to compete with lots of other realistic racers.Quote:

For Shame. I see no mention of Ferrari 355. While some may not consider it the most fun it by far the most realistic and rewarding when you get good at it.
@Chilly: There's nothing wrong with liking one game over another (the whole point of this poll), I was just confused by how Sega Rally "was moving away from Sega's offerings". It's still a Sega racing game like all the other ones are.
