Im really getting into racing games recently. But I really like old school stuff like Outrun and Virtua Racing, plus top down racers like Neo Driftout and stuff.

but im looking for something modern. I know of Gran Turismo, but i also know it has a ton of DLC and takes up nearly the entire HD. I see Horizon Chase Turbo,

Anyway, I like rally racers, and anything with checkpoints. But Im open to other stuff.

Honestly the best racing games are still all from the 6th and 7th gen, but some of the best newer ones that come to mind:

Inertial Drift
Hot Wheels Unleashed 1/2
Wreckfest
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered
Burnout Paradise Remastered

If you also want some 6th/7th gen recommendations:

Driver San Francisco
Midnight Club 2/3/LA
Burnout 3/Dominator/Revenge
Split/Second
Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

I could go on.

Kinda pushing it for "modern" but Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is literally my favorite racer.

I looking forward to trying the new one someday.

Forza Horizon 4 and 5 have been fantastic to play the last few years. I got bored with Gran Turismo feeling the same every game since 3 and I appreciate the more arcade/casual balance the Forza Horizon games have. I dont need to run a 24 hour endurance race, I need short races between 5-10 min when ive got time to play.

I see Horizon Chase Turbo,
Horizon Chase Turbo is a lot of fun. And Horizon Chase 2 is good if you want more
