Racing
From Wikia Gaming, your source for walkthroughs, games, guides, and more!
The term Racing in gaming usually refers to the genre or category, which usually consists of some kind of vehicle competing against other vehicles on a series of different tracks or levels, where the goal is to reach the end before everyone else. Racing games do not always have to feature vehicles, though. Some games such as Sonic R just features characters running.
[edit] Racing Sub-Genres
There are many racing sub-genres that are very different from each other. While they all share the same goal of getting to the end of the track before everyone else, the gameplay and focus is different for each sub-genre.
