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.

Need For Speed - Underground 2
I love this game. The soundtrack and atmosphere are perfect
Really basic, but Mario Kart DS specifically. The gameplay does not do it for me, but the way it sounds coming out of the DS’s Speakers sounds amazing. Though, Mario Kart 64 & Wii are probably really close for me out of sheer nostalgia.
Midnight Club 3
What was the name of that motorcycle racing game where you also beat up other racers all while racing to Soundgarden… That one.
Road Rash?
Gran Turismo - the first one
Rock n’ Roll Racing.
og wipeout

NFS underground or most wanted.
I wouldn’t call them my favourites, but I will call them a perfect fit. The licensed soundtrack in MW has exactly the correct feel for the game.
That’s why I think they’re great. Good standalone songs put in a fitting context.
Bought and played NFS heat recently. Game was surprisingly good, music, however had too much hip-hop/pop and stuff like that for my taste so that was disappointing.
Prostreet too
I also like NFS Carbon to be honest.
Never played it, but it has kyuss. That alone makes it great. The rest are a bonus.
While not a racing game in the traditional sense, the soundtrack for I Am Your Beast is what cocaine sounds like. Listen to Negative Time without vibing, I bet you can’t.
Burnout 3
Flatout: Ultimate Carnage or Need For Speed: Underground
Yep Underground
Rocket Leagues first OST. The following seasons had some good stuff as well, but man, 2015s Rocket League featured a string of bangers!
Sonic R
It’s a hill I’m willing to die on.They put all the budget into the music lol
true, at least someone had their priorities straight!
MX Vs. ATV Unleashed
Something about the early 2000s alt and buttrock that just does it for me.
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?
I don’t even like that genre of music much, but it is so perfect for Wipeout and the selection is excellent
