Weird, I did a search of just driving games and Sprint was not included.  Not even Pole Position made the list.

Pole Position is listed under "Driving / Race (chase view)" for whatever reason.  The Sprints are under "Driving / Race Track".  You'd think "Driving" would be a superset of all of these, but I guess not.  :dunno

Err...

Searching under Genre of Driving shows pole position and the sprints, and all other driving games.

My guess is all categories of Driving-XXX (including plain "driving") belong in the driving genre, but the category of "driving" is the driving games that don't fit in the other specific driving categories.

edit: clarified wording
