As an avid gamer, I would have to say, out of all the genres, racing games are my favorite. And my favorite part of racing games are the courses. As the topic title suggests, out of all the racing games you own, what are your favorite race tracks?

Here's mine: (Notice: I'm more into kart racers than realistic racers, I'll admit that.)

1. Downtown Downpour (Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild)
2. Clockwork Wumpa (Crash Nitro Kart)
3. Aquatic Capital (Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity)
4. Gigan Rocks (Also Sonic Riders 2)
5. Egg Factory (Sonic Riders 1)
6. Floating Gardens (Chocobo Racing)
7. Cortex castle (Crash Team Racing)
8. Urban Subway (Jet Moto 3)
9. Skate Park (Speed Punks)
10. Shipwreck Cove (Also Speed Punks)
11. Treasure Ship (Rayman Arena)
12. Pretty much all the tracks in Hot Wheels: Beat That!
13. Mute City (Various F-Zero games.)

What about you guys?

Only one I can really think of would be Maple Treeway on Mario Kart Wii. Even then that track can be highly annoying. Especially those flipping Weeglees when they strut in front of you

Yeah, I hate those.

My favorite Mario Kart tracks are:

Peach Beach, Daisy Cruiser, Delfino Square, Waluigi Pinball, Mushroom City, Coconot Mall, DK's Snowboard Pass, Tick Tock Clock, Airship Fortress, Mushroom Bridge, and Toad's Factory. (Yeah, I prefer Double Dash, DS, and Wii over the old ones.)

I really enjoy racing games too, usually games that are less realistic but I find myself ending up with all kinds of racing games in my collection.

Something I've realized is that my favorite racing games tend to have soundtracks I really enjoy. I really think that one of the main reasons I like one racing game over another is the soundtrack.

Let's see here..

1) Big Snowman (Snowboard Kids - N64)
2) Silver Mt. (Snowboard Kids - N64)
3) Most tracks (F-Zero X - N64)
4) Toad's Turnpike, especially on Mirror mode (Mario Kart 64 - N64)

5) Rainbow Road (Super Mario Kart - SNES)

My favorite tracks in Mario Kart are all the bowser castles because the lava, thwomps, fireballs, etc. make for harder and fun levels. Also i like Double Dashes rainbow road because of the sweet music, also because it was crazy with the turns and no railings. A vast improvement from the tedious 64 version.

I'm not to much into racing games, so thats why they're from the mario kart series

And I know we're not holding an election or anything, but I'd like to nominate Sequoia Forest and Planet X (Both from Jet Moto 3) as the hardest race tracks in a racing game ever.
