Racing Games

About racing games

Racing is about the line, not the throttle — the quickest player is usually the one braking earliest. The tag runs from top-down time trials you can learn in a single lap to full 3D circuits with a real sense of speed.

Nearly all of them are keyboard-first, and holding a direction through a corner is generally slower than tapping it. For the wider set of vehicles see car games, or bike and moto for two wheels; many of these also sit in the sports category.

Playnix lists 196 racing games, ordered best-first rather than alphabetically. Most sit in the arcade and sports categories. The three ranked highest right now are Slope Racing 3D, Vangers HD and Drag Racing Club. Every one of them loads straight into the page — no download, no plugin, no account.
