Racing Games With An Imagination
Whether that imagination is fantastical settings, completely novel game mechanics coupled with stylish aesthetics and art direction, or just such a deep, loving romanticization of certain cars and cultures to completely transcend reality and enter fantasy. (Some of these are just driving games, not strictly racers.)
Inclusion on the list does not necessarily mean the game is good, and vice versa. Also only one game per franchise, and obviously no clones.
Honorable Mentions:
-Animastar (2000), cause it's not really a racing game. But damn, could you Imagine? Honestly can't believe no one's done a real creature raising/collecting racing game yet.
-Auto Modellista (2002), cause I knew someone would bring it up.
