An expanded game of Virtua Racing
Virtua Racing Deluxe is an enhanced port of Virtua Racing, released as a launch title for the Sega 32X in North America and Europe in late 1994. Much of its team was comprised of developers who had produced the port of Virtua Racing to the Sega Mega Drive, however the visuals in Virtua Racing Deluxe are far more accurate and the some music was rearranged. Naofumi Hataya also composed several new tracks for the game, in some cases replacing original themes.

Graphically I don't think it's that much better than the Genesis/Megadrive version, but it definitely makes up for it in handling and amount of content. Its biggest setback is the one it shares with some of its contemporaries... it's a 32X exclusive.
Dang this would’ve been liquid magma on a Genesis in 1994
I played this a ton years ago back when I was trying to get more into racing games and I couldn't ever finish it, so it's super satisfying to see how much better I've gotten at the genre. That being said though, this game is certainly no cakewalk as the CPU is particularly fast even on Easy difficulty (which doesnt really matter as winning on Easy doesn't even get recognized by the game...)
As the name implies, this is an enhanced version of the mega drive virtua racing. The poly counts are higher, the framerate is smoother, and seeing as this was an in-house job everything feels right. There are even bonus cars and courses not even found in the arcade game which is super cool and makes this worth checking out even if you can access the arcade version. The stock car is slower but turns better and the prototype car is insanely fast but can't turn. Considering I had a hard enough time with the stiff handling on the mega drive version I found the stock car to be the most comfortable vehicle. The two extra courses are neat, with one being a bit more urban and the other being a canyon course. Until the sega ages switch port came along, this was basically the most authentic way to play virtua racing at home, and honestly it stands as one of, if not the best 32X game on the system.
the replay music also BANGS dude

Vrrrr-BOOM. VIRCHUA RACIN'!
This game features two extra tracks, two extra cars, and it just runs far better than the original Genesis port. Truly a showcase on what the 32X could do, and it really couldn't do much. In my opinion, it's the best game on the system.
