If you forgot Team Sonic Racing was due out in May next year because Crash Team Racing was recently announced at the 2018 Game Awards, Sega has issued a friendly reminder by uploading a new song from the title on its social channels.
Following the remix of 'Market Street' from Sonic Unleashed by Jun Senoue, Sega has now shared 'Sand Road' which takes inspiration from Sand Hill in Sonic Adventure. Once again it's handled by Senoue along with Tee Lopes and Takeshi Taneda on bass from the Sonic Team. Lopes, in particular, is responsible for much of the music in Sonic Mania. This song seriously peaks around the 1:30 mark. Have a listen for yourself below:
With Sonic and Crash now both receiving kart outings in 2019, the race to grab the attention of potential buyers is at an all-time high. Will you be buying Sonic, Crash or both games when they speed onto the Switch next year? Tell us in the comments.

Does anyone think it would be strange if Crash Team Racing will be the one with performance issues.
Sonic in a car makes no sense to me? All he needs is his running shoes n he could out run a rocket..
@Painay I belive sega said that it was too make the game seem more fair.
@Painay Do you really think you can race Sonic if he's not in a car?
@Painay - Bowser and his cronies being good sports in Mario Kart makes no sense to me. Why is he not trying to destroy the kingdom and kidnap the princesses?
Who cares, it's a racing game.
@Prizm Well its human nature to search for meaning within existence. @The_Legged_One that makes sense.. speed is Sonics thang it just looks dumb (to me) seeing him in a sports car
People say it wouldn't be a fair race if Sonic was on foot, so.. did anyone forget that in the original 2D games that all characters ran at basically the same speed?
At least i think Tails did in Sonic 2.
I preordered Sonic and really hope it will be a good game.
I hope the extra time they had would be spent on improving the gameplay that it seems wasn't that great.
Crash on the other hand seems that it will be delayed so, yeah, not going to see my money for a while.
I do like these tunes. Looks like 2019 is the year of the kart racer. I wonder if we will see MK8D dlc?
Why no Crush 40? The band makes the definitive Sonic music. I’ll even take Pumpkin Hill Zone at this point, I’ve kind of given up on Escape From the City.
As long as it’s a stable 60fps
@The_Legged_One @HollowGrapeJ
Maybe Sonic could run around carrying heavy backpacks as a handicap, like when Goku went training in Dragonball at some point(s?)..
@PolarExperience
I have to admit maybe you are right..
At first I listened to the new songs from this article and thought "yeah that is actually nice" but then after reading your comment I searched for Escape from the City and that is a whole superior level of Sonic vibes..
@PolarExperience Crush 40 literally helped make this song and is in charge of the game's whole soundtrack
@MetaRyan I meant more of the vocals (as the songs I listed were vocals), but that is a fair point.
Sega always pulls off great music! I'm really hoping this game will be as good as Racing Transformed was.
Very solid music here. May even listen to those OSTs whilst I am having my "happy time hour" in my room. It's that good.
It's OK, but not a patch on Richard Jacques' soundtrack from Sonic Racing Transformed. Which goes for the rest of the game too by the looks of it, unfortunately.
Sonic Racing Transformed was awesome, but this... this is like Nintendo only using Mario characters for a Smash game. With so many franchises to mine for stage ideas and musical choices, it'd be a crime
Sonic Racing Transformed was a fantastic racer.
I expect great things from Sonic Team Racing.
I can't wait for this game!
@sleepinglion More like, it would be like Nintendo only using Mario characters in Mario Kart.
@Painay Sega did make a Sonic racing game in that style before but...it was Sonic R.
I also get a touch of Flying Battery Zone from this.
Not a fan of these tracks. Both of them could've done without the cliché lead synth. Listening that annoying repetitive synth over and over would probably drive me nuts during a gaming session.
Most MK8 tracks are tolerable over and over without being particularly irritating.
@PolarExperience That's a good point. It's odd hearing the instrumentation of Crush 40 without the vocals. It would be nice for some real Crush 40 music to make it into an upcoming Sonic game, especially since I feel the music of Sonic Forces fell flat.
(Though I wouldn't say no to more music like Sonic Unleashed's, dang was that soundtrack good.)
@HollowGrapeJ Yeah, but they do only use characters from the Mario titles. The updated roster that included Link was DLC and also included on the deluxe edition.
@sleepinglion I'll miss some of the SEGA characters like Gum and Ulala. But, I'll be pretty content with the Sonic characters if they give it enough content.
I'm hoping both are good, because it'll be nice to have more kart racing content when family is over. My nephew is a Sonic fan, my siblings were 90's kids, and I like both. So it's a done deal, as long as neither fumbles too hard.
