I like the Road Rash games on Genesis a lot.

No clue whether people consider the wii retro yet, but it’s a tie between Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity on wii (since that’s how I experienced it) or Cartoon Network Racing on PS2 (same reason). I’m fairly certain PS2 is technically retro by now, as insane as that sounds.
Ridge Racer for the PlayStation
Stunts was the best. You could draw your own circuits.
The first that come to mind are, in no particular order:
Need for speed hot pursuit (PC)
Sonic drift 2 (game gear)
Monaco F1 (mega drive)
Death Rally (PC)
Big Red Racing (PC)
Ballistics (PC)
WipeOut (psx)
The racing game in the Sega 4in1 pack (game gear)
Virtua Racing (mega drive)
Micromachines (mega drive)
Penny Racers (psx)
All very different from another.
Almost forgot: carmageddon!
I hate that I can call this “retro” now, but 100% INITIAL D arcade machine or PSP game.
SPEEDY SPEED BOY
GASOLINE’S BURNIN’ IN
Top Gear 3000. It’s the main reason why I have a SNES emulator installed on every device I own lol.
that’s like picking a favorite child! Power Drift, SEGA Rally Championship, Super Hang-On, and Hang-On GP, and OutRunners are all vying for that spot. Kirby Air Ride gets an honorable mention for the same reason as that other commenter, i can count on one hand how many times i’ve actually played the main racing mode
F-Zero X
I crave speed and murder
Ridge Racer 4 on PlayStation. Such great mechanics. It’s genuine fun.
Outrun, especially Outrun 2. I like arcade style racers the most.
Also in that vein, San Francisco Rush.
Yeah, rush 2049 was my favourite from the SF Rush series.
Lots of great ones mentioned here and while I don’t know if it’s my favorite, I have a deep soft spot for Super Off-Road. It has an incredible spatial sense and fluidity for its time and still holds up at any barcade.
Yeah, fair. Me and my brother definitely played alot of that.
Radical Psycho Machine (RPM) Racing for the SNES!
Fun fact, this was one of the few games that played entirely in the SNES’ High Resolution graphics mode!
Lotus III or Micro Machines probably. Maybe Road Rash (either version).
Grand Prix on Atari was pretty fun.
Diddy Kong racing.
