Following on from the UK toy maker Zappies mentioning a brand new Sonic racing title is in the works, another toy manufacturer has joined the conversation. Diamond Select Toys also passed comment on the rumoured game, adding a little extra fuel to the fire.
The company was present at the New York Toy Fair, where a spokesperson told an interviewer: "There are some minifigures […] some come with diorama pieces you’re going to build a race track from the game…"
The evidence surrounding this new Sonic racer isn't exactly concrete, but now with more than one company starting to bring it up, it could be indicative of something on the horizon. We'll have to wait and see what SEGA says during its SXSW Sonic the Hedgehog panel next month.

And I’m sure people would take a Crash Team Racing Remake/Sequel over a Sonic Racing Game
I liked modnation racers but didn't seem to catch on.the handling on the beta was much better than full realise version .good idea when you could make your own courses and players.
Apart from the fact Sega released All Stars Racing twice as wasn't transformed the same game with added stuff ???. I enjoy transformed a lot I play it in steam as a time killer or when I'm fed up of Diablo 3 or other games. I welcome a new racer if Sega can take the time and not screw us over with MTs but I feel this new game will have them
@Derpie1 Not me. I'd take a sequel to Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed over a remake of CTR any day.
BUT - if it's an entirely new Sonic racing game and not related to the All Stars series...I'd be much more skeptical.
Transformed and it's prequel were superb games and much better than many recent Mario Kart titles, so yes I really hope a sequel is coming.
@Nakatomi_Uk Not quite. Whilst ASR Transformed was a totally new game, with new vehicles and courses custom-made for the transformation gameplay gimmick, four courses from the original ASR were unlockable as "classic" tracks towards the end of the campaign mode.
The original ASR is worth a look-see if you're interested in a more traditional, wheels-only karting experience, but ASR Transformed was an improvement in almost every department.
If a third game features a similar leap forward, then I'm really hoping these rumours are true.
Glad to see this rumor is pointing to being true.
I hate how secretive companies are nowadays with their games. So many games I'm looking forward to this year haven't even been officially announced... new Sonic Racing title, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and a few Nintendo titles for the second half of the year. Eh, at least I won't have to wait long before they're shown off.
Whether it's a Sonic Racing game or not, what's really important here is that it's becoming pretty obvious that Sumo Digital is working on a kart racer and that's all I need to know. I absolutely loved All Star Racer Transformed
