Arcade or home does anyone else play????
I generally play games like

Wangan Midnight MT3
Initial D (occasionally)
Outrun
Battle Gear

In arcades and at home I play things like
Initial D(Occasionally)
Kaido Battle series(TXR Drift N.A. Title)
Gran turismo
Forza Motorsport
Shutoku battle(Or TXR)

I wish I could have a better set up at home then I would play way more at home but so far i've found it difficult...Any other driving game players here?

At home, WipEout for sure and I also enjoy some Mariokart (although I know it's borderline). No particular system really I just like the series'.

As for the arcade... I don't have one anywhere nearby *cries*

oh yeah I forgot to mention I play a lot of Mario Kart on Wii... mostly time attacks though. Trying to practice that pesky Rainbow Road short cut. Nearest "Arcade" near me is Playdium they have all those which I play including a Mario Kart Arcade version... But for competition I go over to Lovegety station in Rihcmond Hill, However that place comes with a warning... Be prepared to wait sometimes hrs to get on certain games.

I'm sad that they don't make racing games with save-able replays anymore.  That was half the fun.

They have a Mario Kart arcade machine at Playdium?  I need to go there next time I'm in town!

Trackmania DS is pretty much all I need for racing. But on the consoles, I'm a huge fan of Excite Truck for Wii and PURE for Xbox 360. Both amazing titles.

I haven't tried Trackmania yet, but I should give it a shot.

The only arcade driving games I really liked for any length of time were old school ones where you could see the whole track and had to get your wee car around, at times avoiding water and oil slicks, using short cuts (including gates that opened and closed), and in one version (I think called Wasteland?) shooting other players with various weapons you could pick up.

Good times.

I was pretty impressed with the Grid series.  Oh, and most Colin McRae titles.
