Back in the early 2000s, it was just about at that point in time and history that many avid fans remember a ton of racing video games so fondly. Even for dirt oval racing fans, Ratbag Games had brought the World of Outlaws to life with their 2002 release of World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars 2002.
Since then, there haven’t been many World of Outlaws standalone titles. The ones that did come out weren’t great. In reality, the only current way to get your fill of World of Outlaws is to sign up with iRacing and purchase their World of Outlaws content, such as the 410 Sprint Car and some of the tracks on the schedule.
Recently, iRacing and Monster Games announced an upcoming World of Outlaws console game that will launch later in 2022. Our Ross McGregor decided that now would be a great time to take a look back at what could arguably be considered the best dirt oval racing game of all time.
Sure, it wasn’t the perfect game, but it was pretty good for its time. The 2002 game featured an extensive career mode, decent dirt and car physics, and a fairly fun local multiplayer aspect. We can only hope that the upcoming iRacing and Monster Games effort will take this title as inspiration for their future titles.
Have you ever played World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars 2002 before? Let us know of any fond memories you might have down in the comments. Keep it pinned to Traxion.GG as we get closer to the next World of Outlaws video game later this year.

Iracing and monster could literally just copy this game and modernize it and I would never play another game in my life…….I love this damn game so much

@bunkermonkey_uk 2 года назад

It's coming, this September!

@Sturz.mp3 2 года назад

Boy do I have news for you

@robstone7325 Год назад

not on pc just play station

@AdamsBrew78 Год назад

Just got the 2022 World of Outlaws this week and I’m hooked. It’s the most challenging and one of the most fun racing games I’ve ever played.

@alexbowers343 7 месяцев назад

Mate I’m the same!! Grew up playing this game(and dirt track racing 1&2), and when I got my bald in the new WoO game I was quite disappointed in the lack of damage compared to this game and the fact the in car camera is so far forward you sitting in front of the steering wheel basically and there is nothing in the cockpit, no gauges not even a wheel. This game needs a remaster!

@METALMISFIT6 2 года назад

I agree..I played the hell outta this game

@strikingsnake94 2 года назад

It’s nothing like NASCAR

@PaperBanjo64 8 месяцев назад

No but if you can race a sprint car the skills learned can easily transfer to NASCAR.

@RTPJu 11 месяцев назад

Just try Dirt to Daytona

@jarmandalitz95 2 года назад

My favourite game of all time, still turn on the PS2 and play it from time to time, with a night of playing the game now becoming my New Year’s Eve tradition

@lucasracing838 2 года назад

Try Tony Stewart's Sprint Cars on Xbox/Playstation. Makes so much fun and the career is good. You can improve your cars. It is worth the 20$ in my opinion.

@DJ-zv3rr 2 года назад

New one is coming out in September

@racefeen22p 2 года назад

I've always praised this game. This is one of the games that ushered my young mind into one of the more technical sides of racing games. I was highly upset when I purchased a PS3 Sprint car game and it was below mediocre. The physics didn't feel good, all the ruts and marks on the ground was just carpeting. It just sucked.

@ShortBusGameplays 2 года назад

This was my FAVORITE game growing up, probably because my dad worked as a crew chief in the World of Outlaws. He actually worked on one of Sammy Swindell's cars when he drove the #83 Beef Packers car for Roth. His knickname is Slammin' Sammy by the way, a bit of a bruiser on the racetrack.

@daboiracing3848 2 года назад

You have to check out, Saturday night Speedway.

@mrcyr5685 Год назад

I 100% AGREE!! I OWN THAT TITLE.. I still have it.. 15yrs later!! I use to play it alot on Friday, Saturday Nights... The Good 'ole times! Real Fun and Simple to Run -Josh A. Cyr (From Maine)

@johnhunt5005 2 года назад

I remember road to Knoxville game more but now has a 21 year old who loves going to my local racetrack. I would love to buy a ps2 and grab a couple of older games I remember. Man time flies by you when your younger.

@bubba_gump94 Год назад

This games career mode reminds me so much of dirt to daytona

@alucard72 Год назад

I still have this game I purchased it 20 years ago.

@greatestbrand5191 2 года назад

This game STILL holds up super well today. Incredible sprint car game

@TraxionGG 2 года назад

Couldn't agree more!

@scottracing51s 2 года назад

Ratbag did dirt racing right ive loved everyone of the dirt track games still pick them up anytime i run across them wish someone would go back to pick up where they left off and bring them to newer consoles

@rayracing26 2 года назад

I have so many good memories with this game like when me and my dad were doing split screen and we kept throwing sliders in each corner for the win and I one keep in mind I was 7

@brettanderson9633 2 года назад

I have real life grudges against certain drivers that bumped me in career mode of this game! Looking at you Jac Haudenschild! But I have to disagree, the difficulty of the career mode felt earned and realistic. It dunks you in with some early easy local series, then lets you run against the Outlaws just so you see the speed difference! I think it was designed to show you how far you have to go to compete with the best. You are suppose to come in last place against the Outlaws the first time you run against them.

@PulsingKrugotvoid 2 года назад

My only complaint with career mode, and I feel every racing game today has this problem, is you make money too fast. And you are fully upgraded a year and half in

@joerinne8475 2 года назад

Don’t get me started on stalls? They don’t have a clutch it’s a direct drive so if you go to slow it will die. Hit the breaks to hard it will die.

@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance 2 года назад

Lol. I can't stand Sammy Swindell. I personally like Jac Haudenschild and Joey Saldana. With this aside, this game was the very first video game I ever played. I was 3 when it came out and was 5 when I started playing. I'm gonna look at ebay to see if there's a nice disc of this game on there. One thing you'll notice is that Tyler Walker is dominant as an AI on this game. Walker, in real life, was pretty good but he wasn't Godly. I still stand it's because he was sponsored by Ratbag; World Of Outlaws Sprintcars 2002's game developer. Speaking of Ratbag, Saturday Night Speedway was another classic, although I prefer WOO2002 just a little more.

@shawnchristianson324 2 года назад

It needs to have great damage, not just a few debts. These cars get absolutely thrashed in real life accidents.

@cracklecracklebaybay5612 2 года назад

This game and the PC "Dirt Racing World of Outlaws Sprint Cars" game were 2 of my favorites growing up. So good.

@brentkrueger7848 2 года назад

If the 2022 game dosent at minimum replicate the 2002 version it will flop

@tsmcbride06 2 года назад

Still playing the old version in 2022 !

@07perrydew 2 года назад

That game on PC for me is was pretty good! It was challenging to start out with!

@jakeglover8699 2 года назад

You seriously said sprint cars are like nascar 😂

@Pinsonneaultmotorsports Год назад

One of the reasons why the sprint cars race at night is because the fuel they use is alcohol the dampness and the temperature determines how well the fuel will run

@Rheper. 2 года назад

So question I play this game just about daily how did you get your graphics to look so good mine looks like it’s stuck in 2002 😂😂

@WilsoGaming 2 года назад

I had this game by ratbag a great game

@The52car 6 месяцев назад

If I've already got Road to Knoxville and Showdown at Eldora, how does this compare? Worth picking up a copy?

@logannaslund1057 2 года назад

cool game unfortunately real world winning that much money to keep upgrading your car is not how it works ….. more like you start out with a lower end car finish middle of the pack take home $60 paycheck when it’s over lose a few hundred $ during the night go back to work fix some shit that you found broken on the car and repeat all over for next weeks $60 check lolol $350 if you win

@logannaslund1057 2 года назад

i do remember i had a game very similar to this made by rat track i think it was called like saturday night speedway or somthing like that … chicks stomach on the cover with car keys in the middle of her belly button

@nikescar 2 года назад

Nice look back at a classic game! Check out Viper Racing next from NASCAR Heat devs Monster Games.

@Greyson.Kyler429 2 года назад

I played the hell out of this game back in the day, this game sparked my love for the World Of Outlaws series and also I've been watching this series ever since I was a kid.

@KTRacing20 Год назад

i’ve found a way to get it for free on pc and it even supports online multiplayer

@fernandoapikachu2427 Месяц назад

5:04 About the “no restarts” thing, I wanna know why most sim racing games did that back in the day, like yea it’s realistic, but it’s frustrating as hell, in my opinion😅 I’ve never played the game, but it sounds and looks fun as hell:)Hope I can get it in the future:)

@TraxionGG Месяц назад

Haha you are not wrong! I like being given the option at least... Especially when things happen like controller disconnections or you accidently unpause or something😅

@HoldenBTW 2 года назад

This aged well with the new world of outlaws game that came out

@RacingDen115 2 года назад

Rynogt4 is currently doing a playthrough of this game which is pretty cool

@trentonbransongaming9422 2 года назад

Best game ever made!!

@noid919 2 года назад

Used to hammer this on PC with my Logitech Momo wheel set. Great memories. Then I went real world racing but those days are now gone. Just bought a G923 setup and about to go iRacing - fun times ahead!

@skillteridge259 2 года назад

I loved this game back in the day and still now

@racing393 2 года назад

@codywilkerson0 8 месяцев назад

Anyone know where to get mods for this game ? Would like to mod it and see what I could make

@flightis3dollars 2 года назад

Fantastic game with many hours of enjoyment back in the day. Still remember when I beat the big guns as a local hero.

@Zachouse1 2 года назад

@TraxionGG Год назад

Agreed!

@1RacerXer 5 месяцев назад

@The52car 6 месяцев назад

Isn't this just the PS2 port of that?

@trashydrifter7557 3 месяца назад

The new one had eh damage wish it was better

@GarrettDeskovick 2 года назад

Ahead of it's time

@EdT180sx 2 года назад

I put in hundreds of hours on this game lol. If I had a PS2 I'd fire it up right now! Best racing game on console hands down.

@Timbo23B 2 года назад

I know you could still play it on a computer today which leads me to another question. How do you get it on pc. been playing when I was very little with my dad

@robwinemiller9712 2 года назад

this was one amazing game, played the crap out of this one, actually played on my desktop, and the keyboard, tried steering wheel but did better with keyboard

@learmec 2 года назад

I've played thru this game many times winning every trophy you can. Going thru it again. Great drinking game.

@allenbest9702 2 года назад

They need to make wrecks more realistic, and it will already be a better game than the previous ones

@donjezza 2 года назад

such a great game

@arjunbadeshia2893 2 года назад

I dunno I still prefer FIM speedway grand Prix 15

@jshirwin68 2 года назад

Love that game. Great game even today

@patmcintyre9912 2 года назад

Tony Stewart Sprint car racing rules.

@Johnnyonthespot1 Год назад

Ive played this my whole life and playing it now. And I bet my entire life nobody can match me. I have perfected this entire game by every cubic inch and there's nothing I did not accomplish on this game. It's so bad I make up my own goals and beat those too. And those goals are impossible to this game. Right now I'm chasing the pro championship in a 10,000 car with the engine upgrade lmao nobody can do that.
