The only racing game I'm even interested in is 90's arcade racer. Other than that ,I find the racing genre rather dull

I think Forza Horizon has replaced PGR

 

I hope not, the games feel completely different imo and there's room for both.  I don't think Microsoft owns the studio that makes the PGR games, do they own the PGR IP?  Wondering if the hopes of a new entry in the series has to go by them.

Mircosoft does own the PGR IP and the studio that made all the PGR games Bizarre Creations went out of business on the 18th of Februarry 2011.

Wow bummer, I think they made Blur too :/.

They sure did and Blur not selling good is one of the main reason they went out of business.

I used to love doing those long endurance racers on Gran Turismo 2 as a kid. Simulator racing is still fun to me but I find myself into the Horizon series a lot. It kinda got me back into the racing genre. I still enjoy playing any MK with friends but I only really invest my time in Horizon. I miss the old PGR's and Crash Team Racing though.

As chris hu said, but a lot of those guys works at playground studios who makes Forza Horizon.
