Race Driver: Grid
A successor to the popular TOCA (or DTM, or V8 Supercars depending on location) series, Race Driver: Grid took the next step in not just graphics and presentation (remember the tire barriers that would fall apart on impact?), but also in terms of gameplay. Players start out as a driver but soon run their own team across several disciplines, including endurance races at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Race Driver: Grid also introduced a feature that many racing titles have copied and are still using today: Flashbacks were first introduced in this 2008 title, meaning players could rewind the action in case they made a mistake and try again in offline modes. Despite its age, the game's graphics still hold up reasonably well – just be prepared for an overload of motion blur as was en vogue at the time.
The title even inspired a revival of the series after five years in 2019, as the simply-named Grid brought back much of the spirit of the 2008 title. The series' most recent entry called Grid Legends was released in 2022.
