I still remember getting my Dreamcast and getting Sega GT. My friends were playing Gran Turismo and I had Sega GT and boy I loved it more than Gran Turismo.

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!

Sega GT was so fun. I found an easy way to make loads of cash early on, and by the time I had to actually improve my driving skills, I was far more interested in discovering and ranking the easiest ways to drive a kei car to financial glory

I played Sega GT and hated it. I thought the controls weren't great and the graphics bad compared to it's counterparts. I thought the true gems were Test Drive Lemans and Ferrari 355 challenge. Test Drive Lemans was a Great racing game with some of the best graphics on the Dreamcast. IGN did a story on it back in 2001 I believe and the Melbourne studio said they programmed it in Assembly to extract as much as they could out of the Dreamcast. F355 was not slouch either. There are other great racing games on the Dreamcast but I can't personally say Sega GT was one of them.

  >Ferrari 355 challenge Didn't they basically take the arcade version and put it on a disc? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the arcade hardware was very similar to the Dreamcasts hardware so it took comparatively very little effort to port it over.

    The arcade version ran on 3 Naomi's which powered 3 screens. Those boards also had more ram than the Dreamcast. It was still not have been a straight forward port. The games also ran at 60fps on the Dreamcast.
