One racing game I think is overlooked is Split Second. I always describe it as, “What if Michael Bay created a television racing show”. It’s racing around different locations where the environment can be used to change the layout of the track or smash into your opponents.

For example, a crane could drag its tipper bucket across the track or at the other end of the scale, the air traffic control tower could collapse onto the airport track and create a completely new route.

It was developed by Black Rock Studios who also made another really good racing game called Pure which is all about quad bike racing. Unfortunately, Disney who owned the studio, shut them down after Split Second was released.
