Racing games never get old! It’s one of those game formats that you can play consistently all the time. The only thing is that there are so many great racing games out there that it’s hard to narrow it down to just a few. Here’s our top picks for the hottest and most entertaining racing video games right now:
1. Drag Racer 3![dragracerv3-racing-icon](https://www.muchgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dragracerv3-racing-icon.gif)
If you like the Gran Turismo game then you will also enjoy drag racer v3. Because you start off building a custom car. Choose from a wide variety of car types from your basic import compact such as the Honda Civic or your exotic car like the Aston Martin Vanquish. What’s cool is that you can customize your car’s look and make tweaks to optimize for performance. This game it’s no Gran Turismo but for what this game is – it does the job well!
2. Dune Buggy![dunebuggy-racing-icon](https://www.muchgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dunebuggy-racing-icon.gif)
If we had to describe this game… It would be if Sonic the Hedgehog and a Dune Buggy mated and had a baby. Basically, you control the vehicle through hills and landscapes while collecting stars (similar to Sonic’s coins) along the way. Be careful though, as the buggy is not indestructible. Make sure to keep upright or crash land in flames. The added bonus to this game is the epic heavy metal background music that gets you pumped up!
3. Potty Racers 3![pottyracers3-racing-icon](https://www.muchgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/pottyracers3-racing-icon.jpg)
If you are in the mood for a different kind of game then you are in for a real treat! Because this game is very special. Your racing vehicle is a port-o-potty, we are not sure how anyone would come up with this idea but it’s apparently well receieved in the community. It has logged close to 300k game plays. What’s more is that you don’t just race on land, but also pilot your potty racer in flight.
4. Motocross Urban Fever![motocross-urban-fever-racing-icon](https://www.muchgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/motocross-urban-fever-racing-icon.gif)

We don’t necessarily agree with that sentiment, but being in the top 10 is definitely a great position to be in. This game is fashioned after the movie and if you have a hankering for some good ol’ Nascar racing then this game is it!

This is perhaps the simplest racing game on this list in terms of graphics and controls, but it is definitely one of the most fun.
