Like others have mentioned, I think it has more to do with industry wide trends than anything to do with the genre itself. It seemed like a lot of racers were middleware. That part of the industry has all but disappeared as the big publishers try to push everything toward AAA style releases. That is too bad, as there used to be some fun little racers out there.
