End of Year Community Awards: Best Racing Game of 2017
by 
With 2017 having come to a close we look back on the developments that have taken place and acknowledge the various efforts in sports gaming. The next category in the annual Community Awards is open for voting. You can check out the winners from previous years here.
Best Gameplay, Best Career/Story Mode, Best Franchise Mode, Best Team-Building Mode, Best Presentation, Best Online Play and Best Post-Release Support can already be voted on! Categories still to come include Sports Game of the Year, Best New or Non-Yearly Sports Game, Best Mobile, and Best New Feature. All winners announced later in the month.
This was an exceptional year for racing games and arguments could be made for a number of them as the best of 2017. The nominees include the highest-rated racing games with winner of the Press Row Podcast award, F1 2017, vying with what in most years would have been the frontrunner in Forza Motorsport 7 and the fun off-road racer DiRT 4.
