Ignition is one of the best in the top-down genre and arcade racing games overall, the mechanics work really well.
As for the other game: ‘Virtua Racer’ was released on Mega Drive (aka Genesis), and even Gameboy had some pure-3d racing games, though looking like crap. So it would definitely be possible to fit a 3d game on a floppy. However, I’m not so familiar with street racing games: you could try searching for a ‘DOS racing games’ compilation video on YouTube, if you played it in DOS.
In my high school, someone actually stripped down Quake 1 to have a handful of character models and iirc six multiplayer levels — so that the game fit on a floppy. This was copied and given out to people, and whenever the sysadmins removed the game from the class machines, it quickly found its way back again.
