In the classic era it seemed normal to walk into an arcade and find a steering wheel attached to an arcade cabinet. Which treasured racing gaming experiences, cabinet, console or PC, can you recall from the pre Gran Turismo days?:cool:

Bump N' Jump Firebird
Namco Rally-X
Vigilante 8 2nd Offense
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge
The Duel: Test Drive 2
Stunts
Grand Prix Circuit
Additionally, Need for Speed 2: SE. This game actually predates Gran Turismo by about half a year, so it totally counts.
Vigilante 8 came out after Gran Turismo, I'm fairly certain. At least the sequel. There's other games, like Spy Hunter, that had a lot of driving but weren't actually racing games. I liked those too.
Anyway, racing games...
Moto-Cross(Fonz) I remember the vibrating handlebars!

Sega Rally Championship I always picked the Lancia Delta or Stratos.

Rage Racer
And others I'm forgetting.
Pole Position was great.
Rad Racer was pretty good for the NES.
Of course, Super Mario Kart.
SUPER OFF ROAD
listen to this music
check out these pixels
Edit: The Top Gear series had some of the best music of all time on the SNES
Edit edit: Let's also not forget the greatest racing game of all time, UNIRACERS.
How could I forgot Super Mario Kart?
Also, Lotus 3 music, on hardware from 1987
