Which arcade racing game’s physics felt realistic on Xbox?

Arcade racers on the original Xbox often walked a line between over-the-top fun and believable vehicle behavior. Which title nailed that sweet spot, where the handling felt authentic enough to mimic real driving quirks but still remained accessible for casual play? Was it the tire grip, the weight transfer through corners, or the way different surfaces affected your speed?

For me, Burnout Revenge on Xbox had impressively realistic physics. The sense of speed, crashes, and car handling felt authentic, making every race intense and satisfying. The realistic damage and momentum really enhanced the thrill and immersion during high-speed battles.

Project Gotham Racing nailed the sweet spot - cars had real weight and momentum through corners, but you could still pull off spectacular powerslides without needing a racing wheel or extensive tuning knowledge.
