TrackMania Nations Forever
A classic among online racing games, TrackMania has a community of over 17 million racers so far.
The initial game was released in 2008, the game is still valid and lived because of the solid and fun gameplay.
In the free version, you get access only to the Stadium environment, plus some features. In the paid version, Trackmania United Forever, there are also car customization features, a track editor, 6 other environments, and many more.
You can try a preview of the game by downloading a particular setup, only for Windows.
Distance
Opinions about Distance vary a lot since the game takes a bit of dexterity to carry on.
So it’s not a game for beginners. However, given its complicated gameplay and visual style, it managed to win some fans that don’t fancy racing games at all. Players have also appreciated the original soundtrack.
It comes with a multiplayer feature that allows online playing (for up to 12 players) and split-screen playing (for 2-4 players) in various game modes.
Real Racing 3
This is a very popular car game, available only as an app, for both Android and iOS devices.
Its key features include 39 circuits, over 140 cars from top manufacturers, Real-Time Multiplayer, night racing, and Time Shifted Multiplayer™ (TSM) technology, that allows you to race anyone, anytime, anywhere.
As a side note, players have complained about the numerous cheaters in the online multiplayer mode.
As is the case with apps, the free version works up to a certain level; from then on, you have to make in-app purchases.
Forza Horizon 3
The Forza series (or their latest games) always top any racing games rankings due to their ultra-realistic graphics and challenging gameplay.
Forza Horizon 3 uses some of Australia’s top-notch locations for various forms of races, time trials, driftings, and Bucket List Challenges.
The game also features a four-player live co-operative multiplayer Horizon campaign. It is also part of the Xbox Play Anywhere program, allowing live cross-platform play.
Mario Kart Tour
We left this one at the end because a car game list is not complete without a Super Mario game.
Mario Kart Tour is available only as an app, on Apple Store or Google Play. The standard version is free to play, but then there are, of course, in-app purchases.
After downloading the app, you have to create a Nintendo account, register your friends on the dedicated list and you are good to play online.
Unfortunately, the multiplayer option received bad reviews online for its many bugs. The developers are surely working to fix it, as many players have installed the app precisely for this feature.
