Maybe in appearance, but not in "substance", since the arcade games have
force feedback steering integrated with the vehicle model (physics) as well
as really solid controls.  The home game versions were released well before
FF was available.  Atari still has the code around, the same vehicle model
(with parameter changes) was used, iirc, in SF Rush.

The arcade games come up used every now and then, if you have room for a
big cabinet.  A friend picked up one last year, needs some work but the
parts are available if you hunt.  The sit-down Race Drivin' (Yellow cabinet)
was probably the best version, had a nicer gearshift than the earlier red
cab Hard Drivin'.

Same core group developed Silicon Motor Speedway, and some of those
sites have been re-opened <http://www.racesimcentral.net/;.

The closest thing to it I've seen in a regular action game was jumping
from a moving paddlewheel boat to a small rowboat tied to the side of it
in one of the add-on packs for ***.  Although they weren't moving
independent of each other, they were both moving rapidly down a river
which made the jump more difficult than if they were both standing still
or just one boat was moving.

In Crimson Skies, but it is more about flying your plane above another
plane at the same speed and the rest is done for you.
