One of the best racing games that appeared in the arcade - or nearly.... there was Daytona. Ridge Racer was release in 1993 by Namco. The graphics and music where cutting edge at the time. The arcade machine gave you the choice to use a manual gear box with clutch and do those crazy drifts that ridge racer first introduced!

Destruction Derby on the Play Station - A great game with great graphics - At the time, not now obviously. Destruction Derby was one of the original release games for the PlayStation. It became a bit of a revolution in its day as it had a realistic (ish) damage engine which produced crash effects. Apart from the graphics the game was great fun to play especially with a friend, the bowl, destruction and carnage in 3D - how many cars on the screen!
