Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.

Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.

Crash Team Racing is the pinnacle of kart racing games. The driving is more skill-based than the leading brand name, and it doesn't have shitty rubber-band AI.

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is still great fun, easy to learn but hard to be good at.

Nothing compares to F-Zero GX. The abandonment of the franchise is a travesty, and should be considered abuse of the gaming community.

Where do you play it? Your comment kinda made me want to play it in my Switch.

I'm playing the remake on PS5. I think they did a pretty nice job with the graphics upgrade, and with the new tracks.

I'd recommend getting a proper controller for it. CTR is a dpad and shoulder button masher.

Hmm, such as?

I only have the Pro controller and the joycons.

Yeah I meant don't use joycons lol

Pro Controller at the very least. CTR is a game that should be played with a dpad for steering. You can use the analog inputs but some more advanced tricks (such as tight steering) will require a solid dpad.
