Racing Games

Car racing games

If you want a car and a road, start with Arcade Turbo Racer 3D, a slide-and-boost racer against seven rivals on beaches, canyons and neon city streets. Open World Racer 3D gives you a whole city to explore, with eight street races at markers on the map, thirty hidden stars and six speed traps. Rally Stage Champion 3D sends you alone against the clock on gravel and snow while a co-driver calls each corner, and Offroad Buggy Racing 3D is all dirt, big wheels and bigger jumps. For a straight-line test of nerve, Drag Strip Legends is about nothing but the launch and the perfect gear change. Highway Traffic Rush and Endless Road Racer 3D are endless runs through traffic, and the retro racers Neon Circuit Rush and Retro Rally Classic take you back to the arcade.

Sim racing and car building

Sim Racing Circuit 3D is the most serious game here. It has a cockpit camera, braking boards, tyre wear, a pit box, a ghost car for hot laps, and driving aids you can turn off once you are ready. Build & Race Workshop asks a different question: can you build the right car? Choose a body, an engine and a set of tyres, then find out on tracks that each want something different. Slicks on snow are a very short lesson. Drift Legends 3D and Car Driving Simulator 3D are good next steps if you like a car that feels real.

Kart racing and games for younger kids

Kart Racing Grand Prix 3D has drifting, items and two-player split screen on one keyboard. RC Car Racing 3D shrinks you down to race remote control cars round a giant living room, past towering sofas and under the table, with a battery to keep charged. Doodle Racer lets you draw your own track and then race three scribbled cars around it, and Cloud Kart Dash is a gentle first race. None of them has any violence, and every finish earns a reward.

2 player racing games

Racing a friend on the same device is hard to beat. Split Screen Showdown has five tracks, power-ups and a best-of-three tournament for two players on one keyboard, and Kart Racing Grand Prix 3D has a split screen mode too. No accounts or online lobbies are involved, so you can just sit down and play.

Crashing, stunts and big jumps

Not every race is about being first. Demolition Derby 3D is about being the last car still running, with panels flying off and beaten cars waving a little white flag. It is cartoon damage only, and no driver is ever hurt. Mega Ramp Stunts 3D sends you down giant ramps high in the sky, and Monster Truck Stunts 3D is what it sounds like.

Bikes, boats, trucks and hover ships

A race does not need four wheels. Try Superbike GP 3D or Motocross Supercross 3D on two wheels, Jet Ski Racer 3D and Speed Boat Racing 3D on the water, or Truck Racing 3D if you prefer something heavy. Galaxy Racer 3D leaves the planet altogether, with hover ships on glowing tracks in deep space and no walls to save you. FPV Drone Racer 3D takes the race into the air.

Racing games that teach

Some of these races secretly teach you something. In Grand Prix Math and Speed Sums, right answers make your car go faster, while Keyboard Kart Race does the same for typing. They are a good way to get some practice in without it feeling like homework.
