How to play
It's a time trial seen from above. You race the clock, not other cars, and the grass beside the road slows you right down, so the fastest line stays on the tarmac.
- Pick a Track: the easygoing Park loop, Harbor with its S-shaped bends, or Canyon and its hairpins.
- Press Start and hold the gas. The timer starts with you.
- Drive 3 laps. A lap only counts if you go all the way round, so cutting across doesn't work.
- Your Best lap turns into a white ghost car that drives that lap again on your next run.
Controls
- Keyboard: accelerate with W or the up arrow, brake with S or the down arrow, steer with left and right, and pull the handbrake with Space.
- Touch: your left thumb steers with the two arrow buttons, and your right thumb works Gas and Brake.
- Drift: a hard turn at speed, or a quick dab of brake mid-corner, kicks the rear out into a slide.
- Pause: the button stops the race.
Tips
- Brake before the bend, not halfway through it, then get back on the gas as you come out.
- Take each corner wide on the way in, cut close to the inside, and use the full road on the way out.
- Brief slides help the car rotate. Long ones bleed speed.
- Glance at the minimap to see which way the next bend goes.
- If the ghost gains on you somewhere, rethink that corner: you probably slowed down more than you needed to.
FAQ
Is the car game free?
Yes. No sign-up, no download, and you can race as many times as you like.
What is the ghost car?
It's a replay of your quickest lap on the current track, driven next to you on later laps so you can compare your line and speed. This browser remembers it for next time, unless site data is blocked.
Does it work on touch screens?
Yes. There are on-screen buttons: steering arrows for your left thumb, and gas and brake for your right.
Does the car game work on a school Chromebook?
There's nothing to download or install, so it works in Chrome on a school Chromebook. The school's network still decides which sites load. If this one is blocked, ask a teacher or the IT team, and skip proxy or unblocker sites, which break school rules and often carry malware.
