This guy is a racing game Youtuber, so I was surprised to see him create a video about the steam deck. Are there any other racing games you would put on the list?

Any "arcade" racer will do well on it. I've already played Forza 4/5, Dirt 4/Rally, and Grid Autosport on mine. It lends itself well to those type of games.

Even the lighter sims work decent enough. (Project Cars, etc.) If they work with the major controllers, they tend to work on the deck just fine.

And going off the with supersquirrel, there are a lot of other types of driving games that work well. (Spintires, American/Euro Truck Simulator, City Car Driving, and Pure Rock Crawling.)

Don't forget Snowrunner, the game where instead of racing against time you race against mud.

If you want detailed and fun offroading but in more focused and bitesized amounts (perfect for on the go) check out the superb Offroad Mania. There are timed levels and infinite procedurally generated rock crawling endurance challenges among other modes. The low poly art style looks great and allows for extremely efficient performance on the deck.
