Looking to burn some virtual rubber? You have come to the right place.

There are few things that can match the thrills of a fast supercar and fewer still of having a bunch of them racing against each other. Unfortunately, not all of us can indulge in this sport but that’s where these racing games come in. Not only do they let us race cars we can only dream of owning in some of the fanciest locations around the world but also do things you just can’t in real life. Such as hitting a wall at 300kph and walking out alive.

I have included some popular titles such as Asphalt 7 and Real Racing 2, which are two very diverse games. While one encourages you to drive rash and break the law the other requires disciplined driving around a track. But racing doesn’t just have to be about cars, which is why I have Riptide GP, where instead of driving cars on the street or the track you are racing jet skins on a water track. And for those with simpler tastes, ther is Hill Climb Racing.

If you’re a petrol head, these games should be on the top of your list.

❶ Need For Speed Most Wanted

Need for Speed Most Wanted for mobile is based on the PC and console game of the same name, which itself is a reboot of the 2005 game. As with the other two games, Need for Speed Most Wanted for mobile focuses as much on cop chases as on outright races. Not only will you have to outrun you r opponents in the game to win the race, but you have to outrun the cops who are out to get you. The game features a wide range of popular branded supercars and dozens of tracks and races, so the action continues for a long time. Highly recommended for racing fans.

Platforms: Android, iOS

Price: ₹275

❷ Hill Climb Racing

Hill Climb Racing is a simple yet insanely addictive game. Although not exactly a racing game in the strictest sense of the term, hill Climb Racing has you driving a car on a bumpy road to see how far you can go. The game employs some of the bets amusing physics we have seen in a game and it’s hard not to laugh when the car flips over and your driver snaps his neck (yes, that’s strangely funny in this game). The best part? It’s completely free of cost. Hill Climb Racing is a great pick up-and-play title that anyone can enjoy.

❸ Real Racing 2

There are arcade racers and the n there a e simulators. Whereas arcade racers let you play fast and loose without worrying about too much about things like driving discipline and vehicle physics, simulators demand accuracy and precision in driving. Real Racing 2 falls in the latter category, where you drive popular cars from top manufacturers on some of the most famous tracks around the world. There are rules to follow here and things like physics to keep in mind. This game is for those who respect the art of racing and want to do things the way the professionals do it. Within the virtual world, of course.

Platforms: Android, iOS

❹ Riptide GP

Riptide GP differs a bit from most racing games out there, wherein instead of cars you now have jet skis to race across a water track. The game features some very realistic physics and water effects. It features seven different jet skis which you can race across twelve different tracks. Race your opponents to the finish line and pull off some mid-air stunts with your jet ski for extra boost. Riptide GP is a fun racing game for those who might want something other than cars.

❺ Slingshot racing

Slingshot racing as the name suggest isn’t your average car racing game. It is a steampunk visual masterpiece written exclusively for touchscreen devices. The real gameplay difference in a race here is the grappling hook that slingshots you around corners. The racing takes place in a bird’s eye view arena. This game has many modes and the career mode has 80 races with different objectives. The environments you race in are awesome. The pickup mode has you racing to collect cogs in a track. It also has local four player multiplayer.

❻ Asphalt 7: Heat

Asphalt 7 is an absolute treat for racing game fans. It’s got loads of cars to choose from made by popular car makers. Soundtracks in the game create that vibe you get when you get when you see Fast & Furious movies. You can either play Career mode, have Quick Races with type such as Drift, Elimination, or the Burnout-esque Beat ‘em all mode. There’s also multi-player over the internet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Graphics are fantastic and the landscape of cities is believable. The best part is when you activate Nitro and Screen goes blue and blurry, as you try hard to stay on the road.

❼ Bike Race Free

Taking rest from the photo realistic graphics, Bike Race Free is a simple game where you ride what looks (and vaguely sounds) like a dirt-bike across mazes. The controls of the game are simple – accelerate, brake, and tilt the device left or right to control the angle of the bike. Using these, you will need to navigate over numerous tracks with increasing difficulty. These tracks have bumps, inclines, declines and spirals that range from straightforward to unusual, so the laws of physics are put to test. You have 13 bikes to choose from, and nine different types of worlds to explore.

Platforms: Android, iOS

❾ Race, Stunt, Fight 2!

Remember Roadrash? Well, this game is sort of modern-day reminder of what fun that game used to be. In Race, Stunt, Flight 2, u can cause total anarchy on the road as you ride your mean machine. You can choose between a street bike, a Harley or even a cop-bike. The objective of the game is not just to come first, but also to beat the crap out of your opponents, before they do you the honours first. You have weapons straight from hell to choose from – a baseball bat, chainsaw, shotgun, even the flamethrower. You get power-ups as you tread your path.
