Top 20 best racing and rally games with split-screen mode

The best way to compete in races or rallies is to play split-screen games with friends in front of the TV.

Sure, playing online with other players can be fun, but nothing can replace having fun together in split-screen mode. Only then can you experience emotions together, rejoice in victory or laugh at failure.

Unfortunately, many racing games do not have a split-screen mode. Luckily for you, we’ve prepared a list of the 20 best games that have this mode. All racing and rally games presented below have a split-screen mode available not only on consoles, but also on PCs.
