The driving games category is the category of games, presented either in the first-person or third-person player view, in which the player partakes in a racing competition with any type of land, water, air or space vehicles.
They may be based on anything from real-world racing leagues to entirely fantastical settings. In general, they can be distributed along a range anywhere between hardcore driving simulations, and simpler arcade racing games.
Driving games may also fall under the category of sports games.
