What do you consider a good finish in racing games?

[Couatl]

Most: First offline, top 25% online
Trackmania: First page on small-medium servers, first or second on large or huge

[Ad Bot]

[Lego lad]

Replay until I get 1st.

[Snoop Da Dogg]

for mario kart:
1st
for diddy kong racing:
1st-3rd

[Mr Noobler]

negative first

[gr8dayseth]

depending on the game, somewhere in the first half, third, or quarter of everyone.

[SgtDaemon]

1st or gtfo

[Landmineman4000²]

I always loved the music on 4-8th place from Mario Kart Double Dash

[ThatDarkNinja778]

1st place obviously, any other place and I'll retry.

[Biostorm]

Everything but last

[sir dooble]

1st if playing against bots, but I'll take 2nd if the race has been a bitch and I can continue with a Silver. (this happens more often in Forza 5 because my older brothers drivatar is an aggressive stuff)

In multiplayers 1st-3rd is always nice (provided I'm not just racing 2 other people lol).
With my friends I would like to be 1st but I won't bitch if I don't do well. We just race for a laugh.
