What is your First Racing Video Game?/Cuál es tu Primer Videojuego de Carreras?

I don't remember the first racing game I ever played (I was too young), but the games that made me fall in love with the genre are these two:

Need for Speed: Most Wanted​

Gran Turismo 4​

Without a doubt one of the best PS2 Racing games in the universe although I like Gran Turismo 4 better because it was the first PS2 game I played while in NFS: MW '05 I got to play it on the GameCube version and then on PS2 through emulation via Dolphin & PCSX2.

Night Driver for the 2600, if that counts. If not that, then Grand Prix on 2600.

As it is a Racing game if it counts as well.

I believe mine was Racing Destruction Set for Commodore 64.

When I got a PS1 for my eleventh birthday I had this and Cool Boarders 3. Both are technically "racing" games, but this one was the standout.

I had a blast with NFS III. I loved the music especially that silly tune from the first stage country side. I remember unlocking a car called El Nino and crashing a lot. LOL.

Need for Speed III is a good Need for Speed game but it is not for everyone because it is a difficult game because I never passed the first level of championship mode or with the 3 cars available in the game I could not pass it either, I was always in 6th, 7th or last place and I feel that I can't handle the game and there was no choice but to abandon the game. But I prefer the fourth installment (Need for Speed: High Stakes/Road Challenge) because is fairer and more fun although you needed to replay the tournament cups to get more money to be able to buy more cars to participate in the next cup tournaments yes, but at least you had good memories with those Racing games at that time.

No joke. I remember the serious pain of crashing when in first only to get sent way behind with what felt like an impossible win.

Drome Racers is the first one I remember owning. It was actually one of the two games I got with my PS2. There was some monster truck game I played on the PC before this, but I've never been able to figure out what it was called.
