There are usually small and simple games, but they are also really fun and addictive. They are absolutely free and they can be played directly from your browser, so there is no need for installation. These kinds of games are very diversified having all sort of fun or crazy topics. Of course there are also some more serious or educative, but the purpose of all of them is to entertain you and make you have some fun at your computer. For the fans of action games there are many action and adventure games, for the fans of sports there are games with all the possible sports, for the girls there are many girl games and so on. But if you are a fan of cars and driving you will also find many free online driving simulation games. So today we are going to choose some of them and discuss more about them.

The racing games are some of the most popular online games, so you will find many of them on every site that offers these kind of games. There are many kind of driving simulation games, some involving classic racing, others involving drag or drift races, other involve parking a car and so on. Now let’s begin with some car games from the famous miniclip.com site. First we will play the game called “Formula racing”, and as you already figured out it is a game with Formula 1 cars. Your goal is simple: win the race. You will control the care using the arrow keys, and you can also change the view by pressing the space bar. As you drive on the track you will also find bonus items. These can be a big M that will give you an extra boost of + 30 km / h top speed plus takes 0.75 seconds 0-100 from acceleration or repair items that will take 20 points from your damage. There are a few different cars to choose from and these are: a cool black one called Basher, a red and yellow car called Winner, a green and yellow one called Runner and a white and red one called Speeder. Beside the different colors of each car, each has different characteristics in acceleration, top speed and durability. So pick the one that is best suited for your driving style. You can play a quick game, or start a new tournament. The graphic of this game is really cool and quite advanced for a simple flash game. The driving sensation is also good, and this can be a fun game especially for the fans of Formula 1.

Another driving game from miniclip, one involving some very cool looking cars it the one called “Hot rods”. Both the graphic and the driving sensation for this game are really good. Actually it is among the best free online racing games we found so far. This race game comes from the drag games category. A drag race is a simple race where 2 cars drive one next to another, and it is made in a straight line and the acceleration is the most important thing. Actually the races from this game are longer than a normal drag race, and beside acceleration they also require a good top speed, and good handling of the car to avoid traffic. Unfortunately there is a lot of traffic on the road, so you won’t have to just sit and relax while driving at the top speed in a straight line. You will have to use the break from time to time, and you must steer the car quickly to avoid other cars and also to collect the golden coins.

To drive the car simply use the arrow keys, and to activate the nitro. When activating it, you will drive a lot faster…but only for a short period of time, because the nitro is limited. So don’t just use all of it at the beginning of the race, and use it wisely. Try to save some for the end of the race too, because you will probably need it a lot. But luckily for you, you will be able to restore the nitro if you collect the red lightning bolts found on the road. But be sure to collect these before your opponent does. You will race against one opponent, and if you will the race you will also win his car, and use it in the next race. As you advance in the game the vehicles will be better and better. The game is really addictive, and once you won a new vehicle you will want to w in all six of them, and complete the game. You can drive on both sides of the road, and sometimes it will be really necessary to drive on the wrong side of the road, because there will be 2 vehicles in front of you, that you won’t be able to take over. You can also take them over by going on the grass but you will lose speed, so it’s not worth it. If you go a long way on the grass, you will be automatically placed back on the road. Like we already said this game is really nice and the hot rod fans and the drag races fans will enjoy it. Have fun!

So these were just 2 driving simulation games, but imagine that there are hundreds or even thousands of them. So if you are a fan of cars and racing, you will always have a new free online racing game to play. Have fun!
