Thanks for the hint about the sale!
Trackmania
On my list because I played a Hella lot out of TFM, 2 and Stadium :)
But at the moment I look for something else.
Wreckfest is a good time. Probably not a super technical racing game but I had a blast playing it.
Not what I'm looking for at the moment, but it made me remember Flatout. Fun times at LAN parties.
Forza Horizon 4, buy Ultimate so you get the 2 map expansions.
BeamNG.Drive has a great driving and damage model and lots of car and map mods.
I loved playing "Driver: San Francisco" by Ubisoft. It's more of a driving game than a racing game set in an open world. However afaik you can't buy it digitally anymore for licensing reasons.
Also the Dirt series is quite nice
Driver San Fran is the best car game ever made
If you’re into more than just races don’t look into it at all. Just find an illegal copy and have a night
SuperTuxKart
You can use your own maps/racers and play against your friends online
BallisticNG
I really liked Mad Max and Days Gone where the focus was upgrading your one vehicle. I really wish there was more out there like it, but Im unaware of any.
Burnout: Paradise. I have many an hour in this game.
Not a racing sim, but a pretty chill driving game.
Take a look at American truck simulator or euro truck simulator 2
Both with huge discounts on steam currently.
~~Bloodborne~~ Nightmare Kart!
I was on a similar situation, I got NFS Heat in the steam sale and it's pretty good. Like you I also liked NFS Underground and heat is very similar. The night and day mechanic is pretty cool. Regular circuit races during the day, illigal street racing at night with cop chases. You customize your cars to make them perform better, get reputation to level up and buy better upgrades. Overall it scratches that ich for a fun racing game.
Thanks. I was kind of hoping that any of the newer NFS being decent.
Seconding Forza Horizon 5. It's pretty fun and casual while still offering some challenge. There's also Burnout Paradise, which is a bit older but still very good.
