should come decent with some cuts, thankfully we had some good poly and hybrid racers such as Vroom, No Second Prize and Formula One Racing, even though that was more simulation...
Winning Run was quite something back then when it came out. Late 88 /early 89. However if you look at the hardware it was running on you could guess that a "port" wouldn't be so easy. Although the Namco Sys21 used 68k as its main CPU, all the polygon crunching power came from 4 (four) DSP chips (Texas instruments). I dont see how that code would be easily ported to run nicely on a 68000 CPU only.
On the 68080 you could probably use AMMX to "replace" the DSP code, but otherwise its probably more of a rewrite than a port to get it running on a classic Amiga.
