Best Racing Games for Low-spec PC (Laptops)

Racing games are quite a popular genre, however, modern racing simulators often perform poorly on weak PCs due to modern graphics and high system requirements. For players with weak computers, there is an alternative - old "racing games" that were released at least five years ago.

This list includes all classic racing simulators that will run well on old PCs and laptops. They do not require modern hardware and can run on old operating systems without any problems.
