Racing Destruction Set was an early Commodore 64 release for Electronic Arts, first released in 1985.
I’d consider it a timeless classic – especially among C64 race games.

Alleykat, Commodore 64
Alleykat is a strange-but-enjoyable mix of vertical shooter and race game. Although – in this case – you ARE taking part in races, but not actually racing anyone.
Winter Games, Commodore 64
One of many classic Epyx-published multi-event sports games from the Eighties, Winter Games is a collection of playable snow and ice-based Olympic events, but without the official license.
Badlands, Arcade
Badlands is a fun multi-player arcade race game, very much in the mould of the classic Super Sprint, except with a post-apocalyptic theme and with guns and missiles on the cars.
Diddy Kong Racing, Nintendo 64
Rare’s excellent Diddy Kong Racing arguably eclipsed Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64.
Stunt Car Racer, Amiga
Geoff Crammond‘s Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga is a blistering game!
In fact: on all systems Stunt Car Racer appeared on, it worked extremely well. Mainly because Crammond programmed most of them himself (barring the Amstrad and Spectrum versions), which gave them consistency, and a boost because he was such a good programmer.
