Drag Races in 32 different racing games (NFS, Forza, Test Drive, The Crew and more)

Back in 2017 I posted a video showing drag races in 8 different racing games, which became the first video on my channel to reach 1 million views. Now it is finally time for an updated and expanded version of that video, this time showing a total of 32 (!) different games, featuring Need for Speed, Forza, Gran Turismo, Test Drive, The Crew and more.

This is the biggest drag racing gameplay compilation on YouTube and the video with the biggest number of different games on my channel so far. And I didn't even use any games that are specifically about drag racing and as usual I also didn't include any mobile games. All 32 games are regular racing games for PC, PlayStation or Xbox. Enjoy the show!

I have already been thinking of making expanded versions of my viral videos from 2017 for a while now but it's always hard to find the perfect time for it because the longer I wait, the more games I am able to include. For my new drag racing video the Motorfest release seems like a good time though, since it was already announced that Forza Motorsport 8 will not have drag racing at launch.

This time I am able to show you 4 times as many games as I did 6 years ago and I even included five different games that I have never shown on my channel before, with Test Drive 5, Test Drive Overdrive, R Racing Evolution, Sega GT Online and Juiced. I am quite happy with how the video turned out and I hope you guys will also enjoy it as much as the previous one.

Note that not all of these games feature actual drag races against other cars. Some of them only feature solo drag trials against the clock. I am showing every game the way it is, so if some clips in the video show a more basic drag mode, then that is not a fault on my part. That simply means that drag racing is not such a major thing in that particular game.

It should also go without saying that there are even more racing games with drag racing. These are simply the 32 games that I selected for this video and I intentionally picked exactly these ones, so do not falsely assume that I missed or forgot any games in the video. I am very aware that there are other games that also have drag racing and you don't have to tell me about them.

Which of these 32 games have you played yourself and which ones are you seeing here for the very first time? Feel free to share your memories and experiences with these games in the comments and in particular with the drag racing in them.

NFS Underground 1 and 2 and Most Wanted probably have the most iconic and exciting drag modes among these games, featuring nitrous, drafting, traffic and engine heat management.

The Crew got special drag cars with the Wild Run expansion, which returned in TC2 and Motorfest, although they are also infamous for being too OP for various free roam activities.

Gran Turismo featured 400m and 1000m "machine test" drag trials in the early games. In GT7 we finally got some drag races against AI but only against a few specific opponents.

Forza featured drag strips in many of its games but only some of the games also feature AI opponents for them. In FM6 you can't even do proper timed runs in single player at all and in FH2 drag races are completely exclusive to multiplayer.

Grid Autosport has one of the more "realistic" drag modes among mainstream racing games, even featuring the positioning at the start line.

Juiced, Sega GT, R Racing Evolution and TD Overdrive are racing games that I haven't even gotten around to really playing at all yet but since they all have drag modes that are unlocked from the start I decided to feature them here as well.

Assetto Corsa is another game with a drag strip and one of several games that barely didn't make the cut for this video. And if you want to see games where drag races are actually the main content, then you can look up the NHRA games.
