Racing games are a genre of video games that focus on high-speed competition, where players race vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, or futuristic machines, against opponents or time. These games range from realistic simulations, like Gran Turismo and Forza Horizon, which emphasize accurate vehicle physics, driving mechanics, and real-world tracks, to arcade-style racers like Mario Kart and Need for Speed, where the focus is on fast-paced action, power-ups, and exaggerated stunts. Racing games often feature a variety of modes, including time trials, tournaments, and multiplayer races, offering both solo and competitive experiences. They appeal to players who enjoy adrenaline-pumping challenges, vehicle customization, and the thrill of crossing the finish line first.
