Street racing Games which revolve around the practice of street racing, i.e. racing of motor vehicles on a public road. This practice is mostly illegal in real life, and many games depict it as an underground, illicit affair (and may feature themes such as dodging regular traffic or avoiding police), but this is not necessary for inclusion in the group. MobyGames
Tank Gameplay featuring tanks whether they are fictional or based on reality. MobyGames
Track racing These games allow the player to participate in or otherwise focus on racing/driving on racing tracks.
  • This does not need to be a real race track, but it needs to be clear the environment has been fenced off or designed in such a way that a track is created, regardless of the surface or the setting.
  • Racing games that take place in open environments where all obstacles or routes are natural, without human intervention to create a track (e.g. Outrun), do not receive this genre.
  • Invisible barriers also do not count as a way to create a track.
  • In order to receive this genre, the majority of the racing needs to take place on a track.
