This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.


Race Drivin' (レース ドライビン) is the sequel to Hard Drivin', and was released among other consoles for the Sega Mega Drive in 1993 and the Sega Saturn in 1995. The Mega Drive version of Race Drivin' was only released in North America, while the Saturn version was only released in Japan. Ports to the Sega 32X were planned[2], but scrapped.

Race Drivin' expands on Hard Drivin', by adding more courses and vehicles. Like its prequel, the world is presented in full 3D with polygon graphics. Though impressive for Mega Drive hardware, the game looks very dated and primitive on the Sega Saturn.
