Obscure/Semi-Obscure Racing Games With Insane Soundtracks
No F-Zero, no Ridge Racer, no licensed bullshit.
Requirements:
-Under 100 plays on here. I thought about lowering it to 50, because stuff like Auto Modellista and Jet Moto just doesn't feel right. It could just be my age though.
-I repeat, no licensed bullshit. I swear if I have to hear Rob Zombie or In Flames there's gonna be hell to pay.
If people run into this feel free to suggest stuff, I'm not gonna be able to remember everything and I've already wasted an hour on this and wanna do something else.

Fuck it, it's below 100 plays and I think the series has fallen off public consciousness enough at this point.

Ah thank you! I should try Space Race again, I think I only played my PS2 copy for like an hour or something years ago.
sega rally 2 is a particular fav of mine since it’s an interesting look at hideki naganuma’s early work. goated list btw im def listening to the osts for all these
It's over 50 plays, but the Konami Krazy Racers Soundtrack is definitely underrated. Good original tracks and arrangements of other songs.
Gallop Racer (horse racing is still racing), specifically Gallop Racer 2001,
Gallop Racer 2003 - A New Breed, and Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer.
Option TUNING CAR BATTLE, Option TUNING CAR BATTLE 2, and Option TUNING CAR BATTLE Spec-R have good OSTs
Racing Lagoon barely makes your criteria (I really like GS Wakaba Bank)
Sega GT 2002 is fantastic, particularly the menu theme and Horizon
Zero4 Champ Series: Drift Champ rules, I like Part 1986 and Tsukuba Nights
Gekitotsu Toma L'Arc: TomaRunner vs L'Arc-en-Ciel is funky, I like REVENGE OF JAMMER and FUNK NATION
Wangan Trial is composed by Soichi Terada
Reciproheat 5000 goes insanely hard
MotoGP 4 is great and hard, but I like the chill of Paddock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=kCvYYyK1rsE&feature=emb_title (Really all the MotoGP OSTs are good)
Burstrick Wake Boarding is technically a racing game! The menu theme and staff roll are chill
Alpine Racer is equal parts chill and bumpin' (esp. Snowbound Landscape and Never Break Away)
It has racing in it, International Track & Field 2000 has great DnB
I might be misremembering but WipEout: Fusion's OST should be artists who were commissioned rather than licensed. Neuro by Braniac goes.
Ace Driver has Keiichi Okabe, Yoshito Yano, and Yuri Misumi kickin' ass
Driving Emotion Type-S https://youtu.be/LgAXjjka2cY
Drift Spirits IGNITION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur5RA0P9xbk
Extreme-G 2 (oh and the first and third too I guess)
Extreme Snow Break https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6anPlzQB8k
Initial D Arcade Stage isn't all licensed Eurobeat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMp1TbiW6dk
Moto Racer DS isn't great throughout but Mus_Pres? Ooh la la https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5VZa8Eabxg
N2O: Nitrous Oxide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrvB3rtf0_o&list=PLLcnodT_dgYQm5gb9sEPg_QsVlDZador8
AirRace Championship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJzPlCd8G-s
Colin McRae Rally 2005 (and the others) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faYvI4X0VNk
Total Immersion Racing has some good electro, I like INGAME2 https://youtu.be/W5Te77YZGxQ?t=1192
Tommi Mäkinen Rally sucks ass but the OST is a cheesy Euro-fest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAFKJ5DrPN0
Dirt Dash <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNsSntE9jdQ&list=PLUK78ossghTIMxp7zntop-nc1kQxHHDl2
Ollie King, I mean, cmon, it's got Hideki Naganuma, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB58V1rmHBg
San Francisco Rush 2049 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPk7yMxEnh4
Le Mans 24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uJVyLIK6aY

I'm sending the funny van after you for the frog ascii.
sorry to also necro this but I feel like sega rally 2006 def deserves a place on here as well. a veritable who's who of sega's all-time best composers, including jun senoue, hiro, original sega rally composer takenobu mitsuyoshi, naganuma, and richard jacques
