Best tracks in the entire genre of racing games

[Apteryx]

What are your top 3 favorite tracks in the genre of racing games? I'm curious if there are some tracks we can all agree on being awesome. For me it's

1: Nova Split (BallisticNG)
2: Coconut Mall (Mario Kart: Wii)
3: Australia GP (literally every formula 1 game ever since Australia got a spot on the calendar)

Edit: I meant racetracks not music tracks

Oh a thought u meant music tracks xD

Diddy Kong Racing had some real nice tracks

Well, I haven't played through enough racing games to comment on the best tracks in the whole of the genre and truth be told, the tracks are kind of the least memorable part. However, I do like Ghost Valley 1 in Super Mario Kart for one very specific reason. It has a shortcut at the end which you can only take if you have the feather to jump over a gap.

The feather is a pretty useless powerup most of the time, so much so that it was removed in Mario Kart 64, but it shows what the idea and potential behind it could have been. There are other times the feather comes in handy mind you. They are just few and far between.

aww man i like racing games but racing tracks are one of the few things that i don't always memorise, along with actors' name and name in general.

i can only think of suzuka circuit from real life and many race sim basically but only barely remember it.

how about gt4 grand canyon? not the best in practical sense but damn it's beautiful.

i also think of wales in dirt rally too... i hope it's wales, and maybe german track due to how simple yet intense the whole concept of gassing up and hit the sharp turn can be.

ironically this is less of the best and more of the one i remembered the most.

I always enjoyed Bernese Alps in Forza games. I hope it’ll appear in the new FM game.

Also I'm more Electrodrome fan than a Coconut Mall fan.

This is a great track, I just find it too narrow for the most part.

The entire lineup of courses from NFS III: Hot Pursuit says hello.

Hmm. Good point actually. I usually did it like in the video - race against the clock. In Spa (and others) i also had races. :o)

But all in all i played mostly against the clock to figure out the tracks, and car setups.
