I have all three games and the only one worth even a minute of your time is Drift King '97.
Choro Q Park is a complete waste of a CD, IMO. A racing game in name only.
Touge-King the Spirits (1 and 2, or High Velocity) are okay-ish, but don't hold the attention long.
Drift King '97 is a fantastic game when you suss out what's actually going on. I believe it's a predecessor to Dreamcast Tokyo Highway Challenge (Battle). I've put hours into this game. Fair enough, the visuals can be a bit rough and the laptimes seem to last forever, but you can get very much into this game, trying to catch opponents.

Wow, that music in Choro Q is so bad. Never even knew that game existed, but it looks rather cute.
High Velocity was an OK racer. I liked the graphics and the gameplay was alright. Drift Kings bored me to tears. Albeit, I didn't play either for very long.

I hear so many good things about Drift King 97'. Does it play like Daytona? |

It's more of a sim than the arcadey Daytona.

It's not Project Cars, but it's definitely worth a look.

It's only my opinion, but I found it so very boring and uninspired. I wasn't expecting MarioKart but, at the very least, Street Racer would've been ok.
To be fair, I played it back to back with PS4 Dirt Rally, so I suppose I didn't have the right eyes on.

A VOTE FOR DRIFT KING HERE...
I originally had Tokyo Highway Challenge on PS1 growing up and really liked it. The same goes for the Saturn version too.
Never bothered (read: fancied) with any of the Choro Q games myself. They've never appealed to me.
I've owned both the King the Spirits games too, but as stated earlier, they're just 'ok'. Worth a look for the right price tbh.
