The Top 5 Racing Games This Holiday Season
Need some last-minute gift ideas? You can't go wrong with this list, which we collaborated on with GT Channel.

Personally I think Driveclub should be in that list for the price it sells for and for what is has to offer. Not many racing games offer so much value for money.

I've loved my time with Driveclub VR. Defintely a game worthy of consideration for top 5.

Driveclub is two years old though, this article is focused on 2016 games it seems.

There was DLC released for DC in 2016 so I think that game deserves to be mentioned.

IMO Driveclub is definitely a top 5'ver.

Driveclub is worth a tenner, not much more.

Stop overrating it people.

I like DriveClub as much as the next person (it's pretty hard not to like something that looks that good, sounds that good, and is just so approachable for a variety of different talents). Although it doesn't say specifically in the article or video that this list is chosen out of games released in 2016, it's a fair assumption based on the others in the list. In that light, DriveClub probably wasn't considered in the first place (DLC may have been released, but that's even farther away from what the article is intending).

Number one for me: Gran Turismo Sport

A game that isn't out yet?

It's sure a solid list. For me personally I would place FH3 on top of the list but I own Dirt Rally as well and it is well deserved on the top spot as well.

As far as bang for the buck goes, I would also add in Project CARS GoTY edition. It's now 27 EUR on the XBox Holiday season sales and that's the full game with all car/map DLC packs ever released. You can be sure you will have the end game with all content and not missing out on anything. Also the only console sim racing game apart from the aging GT6 that has dynamic weather and pit stop strategies with rain tyres. And it would be the perfect warm up for Project CARS 2 which should come out hopefully in 2017.

To you maybe. The game activity-wise on this forum though has far outpaced the other titles; so people are rating it according to their own interest levels.

Despite it being more than two years old, I do agree that it would still make a good option for Christmas.
