9.Gear.Club Unlimited 2
If the name of theGear.Club Unlimitedgames seems familiar, it’s because they’re developed by a team featuring developers who worked onTest Drive Unlimited.
WhileGear.Club Unlimited 2isn’t without its issues, it’s a much stronger game than the first game in the series, and it definitely scratches that itch.
8.Road Redemption
Just asFast RMXis a spiritual successor to theF-Zerogames,Road Redemptionhas the same relationship with theRoad Rashseries.
In case you aren’t familiar, both that series and this game focus on motorcycle racing, but the twist is that when you’re side by side with other racers, you can attack them to attempt to get them to crash.
7.Overlanders
Even if you’ve never played aStar Warspod racing game likeStar Wars Episode I: Raceror aJet Motogame, you’ll probably have a good time withOverlanders.
If you have played one of the aforementioned games, you’ll probably like it even more. Just be warned that the difficulty ratchets up pretty quickly.

6.GRID Autosport
Like many games hitting the Switch these days,GRID Autosportoriginally came out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth playing if you’re looking for a game that straddles the line between simulation and pure arcade feeling. This isn’t the same game as the recently releasedGRIDfor the PS4 and Xbox One, and that’s a good thing.
5.Mantis Burn Racing
If you miss the increasingly rare top-down style racing game,Mantis Burn Racingis the game for you.
Physics play a big part here, meaning it doesn’t feel quite like the top-down racers of old, but that’s a positive here, because the game can be an absolute blast to play.
4.GRIP: Combat Racing
If you’re an aficionado of racing games on the original PlayStation, you may remember theRollcageseries, which featured cars with wheels that reached the top of the car as well as the bottom.
GRIP: Combat Racingadopts the game approach, leading to a feel somewhere betweenF-Zeroand a combat-heavy kart racer.
3.Out Run
As you may have guessed from the screenshot,Out Runis not a new game—this is the sameOut Runthat originally hit arcades in the late 80s. That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth playing, as its gameplay and even graphics have held up surprisingly well, even decades later.
2.Fast RMX
Remember theF-Zeroseries of racing games? Well, Nintendo sure doesn’t seem to, as there hasn’t been a newF-Zerogame sinceF-Zero: GP Legendfor the Game Boy Advance.
Fortunately,Fast RMXhas come along to fill the hole left by the ultra-fast racing franchise. No, it’s not exactly the same, but it’s close enough that you won’t care.
1.Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
It might not literally be a crime to compile a list of racing games for the Switch and not includeMario Kart 8 Deluxe, but it would feel like one. Yes, this is a port of the Wii U titleMario Kart 8, but when a game plays as solidly and is so packed with content as this one, it really doesn’t matter.
