    Default Coop Racing Games

    I'm searching for racing games, that you can play together with a mate, against other CPU controlled combatants, through a series of races (cups) or a career mode.

    I do know the following titles, but I'd like to find more:
    -Super Mario Kart series
    -Diddy Kong Racing
    -Extreme G series
    -Rumble Racing
    -Street Racer

    I don't understand what you mean by co-op. Co-op means that you work together to get through the game but you can't do that in racing games since someone has to come in first.

    I know in Extreme G it is everyone for themselves. Same with at least the first two Mario Kart games, I've never played the last one.

    I believe Burnout 3 let's you do co-op in crash and race modes.
    Everyone is beautiful if you squint a bit...

    That doesn't mean that you can't work together against the CPU drivers, but yeah, it is a bit misleading, sry.
    I just couldn't come up with a better word..

    Aww. I clicked this topic thinking someone had released a racing game based on the artist Coop's artwork.

    That'd be nice.

    The pit crew would look like 50's pin up models with huge boobs, and little horns on their head.

    There was the recent game 187: Ride or Die, where one person can drive while the other shoots the car's weapons. It's not a very good game, but you can find it dirt cheap now.

    Wouldn't the term just be multiplayer for what you were looking for?

    Though I do think Double Dash has coop modes where 2 players share a kart, though I've only ever done up to 2 player on that Mario Kart so I'm not sure.

    Yes, Double Dash has Co-Op, one player drives while the other uses power up items.

    No, that wouldn't be sufficient.
    I hate almost if not all multiplayer modes in racing games, cause they only allow you to compete in a single race against another human player. You're racing one or two times and then it tends to get boring pretty fast (examples: F-Zero series, Wave Race 64, Gran Turismo series, Stunt Race FX and nearly any other racing game).

    I'm searching for a different multiplayer experience.

    A ton of racing games let you race human and AI competition at the same time.

    One of my favorites was Top Gear on the Super Nintendo.

    A ton?
    Then why is it so difficult to come up with examples, especially regarding newer games (and remember also that I don't mean just single races against AI drivers, I was referring to whole championships or career like things)?
    My list is still pretty short, but thx for the mention, and while seeing some Top Gear screens I remembered another one, namely Lotus 2.

    I must've missed you saying it couldn't be single races. Theres a ton of multiplayer split screen racers with AI competition, but I couldn't tell you which let you race in a series together besides the Top Gear and Lotus games, and overhead racers like Super Off-Road.
