For me: the Out Run OST. Everyone listens to and praises Nintendo OSTs or Square Enix, but Out Run is something else. I have rarely listened to video game music that catchy.
Really basic, but Mario Kart DS specifically. The gameplay does not do it for me, but the way it sounds coming out of the DS’s Speakers sounds amazing. Though, Mario Kart 64 & Wii are probably really close for me out of sheer nostalgia.
My shortlist is probably WipEout Pulse (I love how that entire series feels like a game made out of electronic music, the same way Doom is made out of metal), WipEout 2048 (for the same reason, but I played it even more), Forza Motorsport 2 (cuz it had a huge influence on my taste at a very young age), and then maybe Gran Turismo 5?
That’s why I think they’re great. Good standalone songs put in a fitting context.
Bought and played NFS heat recently. Game was surprisingly good, music, however had too much hip-hop/pop and stuff like that for my taste so that was disappointing.

What was the name of that motorcycle racing game where you also beat up other racers all while racing to Soundgarden… That one.
Road Rash?
Yes thats it. I gotta go find that disk somewhere in my old folders now
Gran Turismo - the first one
And Two honestly.

I don’t even like that genre of music much, but it is so perfect for Wipeout and the selection is excellent

Moto Racer 2 soundtrack, my favorite ska punk “album”
It’s not a car racing game, but SSX 3 had such a great soundtrack. It’s hard to find nowadays.
in the following order:
ATV Off-road Fury had a good one
Burnout Paradise 🎶Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty🎵
NFS underground or most wanted.
Prostreet too
I wouldn’t call them my favourites, but I will call them a perfect fit. The licensed soundtrack in MW has exactly the correct feel for the game.
