Games Compilations Racing for survival

Racing for survival

While the mainstream racing genre is racing on sterile paved tracks, some people prefer something more extreme. For example, survival races.

They are also called "derby". Victory in them does not always belong to the one who arrived at the finish line first, but to the one who, in principle, was able to reach the final.
