How about releasing some new racing games here, or even some older racing games, instead of promoting the same set of 20 racing games on GOG over and over again.

Always nice to see more games discounted, but I've honestly lost track somewhat with all the concurrent sales. :)

A lot of the blame for lack of old racing games goes on absurd time-limited licensing contracts of car brands. Eg, I'm certainly glad I bought Outrun 2006 on disc when I did as that won't ever be sold "digitally" anywhere (due to expired Ferrari licensing rights). Colin McRae Rally 2005 was removed from GOG for the same reason.

When do you plan to remove/fix the malware in FlatOut?

The issue has been known since 2013!:

Nothing like a sale that highlights just how few games you have in a genre.

Now I know why so many racers don't end up here, but why don't you at least have FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage yet?

There is no malware, it's a generic false positive, the steam version has the same issue.

How about Gas Guzzlers? That doesn't use any real life licenses, but is a very good combat racer.

This might also be the case why Race Driver GRID had to leave the store here some time ago :(

The two racing games I am most hopeful of showing up here at some point are Blur and Split/Second.

I hope GOG can bring Horizon Chase Turbo to the catalog. One of the best racing arcades in co-op, had a blast with friends and would buy it again if it shows up here.

It's a shame that the last update removed the ability to choose the driver's name.

Part of the problem may be devs needing to port multiplayer to Galaxy, since naturally multiplayer is a big part of racing games. Having to port multiplayer seems to be a fairly big sticking-point/hurdle.

Nevertheless, vote for racing games you want on GOG. ;)

This. Thankfully though the indie and "indie-adjacent" scene seems to be more willing to just use generic cars, at least that's the sense I get (maybe just because they can't afford to license real ones :P)

The olden Need for Speed games would have been great to have. But it's unlikely they'll show up any time soon.

Bring Millennium Racer: Y2K Fighters plox.
Nice soundtrack + great arcade feeling.
Vote in wishlist. 268 votes right now.

I think Burnout Paradise might have a chance of showing up here, since it doesn't use real world car brands.
