The Dreamcast was great for racing games - particularly arcade racers too!

The last one I remember buying was Metropolis Street Racer - good fun.

If you haven’t checked it out, give Tokyo Xtreme Racer a look

I’m of the opposite opinion. I hated MSR, it’s looked cool but the all the tracks seemed to have stupid right angle bends.

I found most of the Dreamcast racers seem to fall short in significant ways. Whereas the Saturn had games with more polish. Which is weird because the Saturn was not a good console for fast 3D graphics, technically speaking. Manx TT is up there as one of the best motorcycle racers imo

I vaguely remember the right angle bends - but don't remember taking issue with them. Though - I was much younger and perhaps not as critical! Manx TT SuperBike was good
SF Rush 2049 on DC was my jam, oh my god.
Amazing on both the N64 and the Dreamcast!
