LMH Mixtape #247: Racing Games 4

For Episode 247, instead of the usual free play, the boizz returned to a classic topic: Racing Games.  This was their fourth lap around the course for this topic, proving there's still plenty of gas left in the tank when it comes to racing games.

We start out with some classic Famicom tracks from Vs. Excitebike and Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race.  We then move on to the Super Famicom with the smooth jam "VS Race 1" from Kat's Run: Zen Nihon K Car Senshuken.  If you're looking for some great elevator style tracks, "Race Result" from Suzuka 8 Hours and "Result" from Redline: F-1 Racer both deliver those smooth jazzy sounds that we can't get enough of.  Finally, we finish the race strong with an absolutely bonk jam "Like The Wind (B COURSE)" from the Sega arcade game Power Drift.  This time, instead of putting your feet up, it's time to put the pedal to the metal and race straight into this week's mixtape!
