Top Gear 2 has the most awkward control options I've seen in any racing game. I tried each option and couldn't get comfortable with any of them. The biggest fail: If you prefer to use the B button to accelerate, there's an option for that... but there's a catch: you'll have to use the L and R buttons to steer instead of the control pad. WTF?
Fortunately, the controls aren't an issue in Top Gear or Top Gear 3000. 3000 is my personal favorite in the series.
A few games that weren't mentioned in the article that I think are worth a look:
Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat (NES)
Formula One: Built to Win (NES)
R.C. Pro-AM II (NES)
Super Cars (NES)
R.C. Grand Prix (SMS, also ported to the Game Gear)
OutRun 2019 (Genesis)
Biker Mice From Mars (SNES)
Dirt Trax FX (SNES)
F1-ROC II: Race of Champions (SNES)
Lamborghini American Challenge (SNES)
