CSR Racing 2
With the likes of Asphalt 8 and Asphalt 9, CSR has also emerged as one of the most popular racing games on the Google PlayStore. However, as Asphalt Xtreme was targeted towards off-road racing, CSR Racing 2 is based on ‘Drag Racing.’ It’s a
simple game, with punchy graphics. You’ll buy cars, add upgrades, and then race. It features a campaign mode, with plenty of races, with the option to go and challenge users around the globe, online. Like the previous games mentioned in our list above, the game’s freemium, meaning it’s free for you to download, but with additional in-app purchases. The game’s a good time killer, with captivating graphics, and one would actually want to go through the entire campaign mode, till the end of the game.

GT Racing 2
Another racing game added to the title of Gameloft. Not compelling as the Asphalt series, but attractive enough to make it to our top 15.

Nitro Nation: Drag and Drift
Another Drag Racing game, that has hit the PlayStore by a storm. It is relatively new, but compelling enough to turn heads. It’s based on a Freemium format, with in-app purchases. The most interesting thing to note is that the developer boasts no energy limit, no delivery time for car upgrades, and fewer pitfalls (pertaining to Freemium Games).
There are tons of cars to unlock, multiplayer modes, online gameplay, multiple upgrades, customized visualizations, and much more. However, it should be noted that due to the game being rather new (in terms of drag racing, comparatively), there are some bugs, so you have to beware of those bugs. But the game itself is a joy, and good enough for racing game fanatics.
Real Racing 3
This pick is for the more ‘Realistic’ and ‘Practical,’ users, who simply enjoy the game, for the depiction of reality, or in essence: being true to life. This game gives exactly that. ‘Real’ is there to stay. This is another game that is free, with in-app purchases. As the name implies, the game gives more precedence to reality, and how races take place, in real life setting, on tracks.
The game is packed with content, including 100 or so cars, from various manufacturers, with a real-time Multiplayer mode. Evoking the feel of realism, the tracks of the game are digital replicas/ recreation, of the original ones. Other than that, there are a total of 2000 events, with different rules for each event, based on types of races. The game is a bit old, though, so we wouldn’t blame for one to want something more recent. But nonetheless, it is pretty popular in 2019, as well.

Riptide GP Renegade
Now here’s something, that would captivate the experimenters out there, who look forward to the fun packed experience, and get noted from the regular race cars, and want something more. Jet Skies, namely! The Riptide GP series is one of the most under-the-radar racing game series out there. It’s basically a wave runner game, where you simply choose a Jet Ski and challenge your opponents.
The graphics and the details are quite great to the eye. Renegade has a campaign mode, online multiplayer mode, and various other little things to make it compelling enough. The game is under the Vector Unit, that has made a name for itself, when it comes to unique racing games, including Beach Buggy Racing, adding Karts and buggies to the racing picture.
However, the Renegade isn’t free, unlike the options mentioned above. But the price isn’t there to break your wallet. It costs around $2.99, from the Google PlayStore, which is pretty tolerable, considering what the game offers.
Beach Buggy Racing

#Drive
This is a rather interesting pick. It’s one of those games, where you’d have the vibe to download, at first glance. It stands out from other racing games, as it blends a high- speed car chase, with the best elements for the endless runner genre. At first glance, you are immediately drawn by the procedural generation of maps to plot out the curbside attractions and towns, the user must pass through, on the Outlaw tour.
Although endless runners are casual games, more often than not, the touch controls are quite sensitive and bear in mind that it requires your complete attention, given each car having its own pace of handling and acceleration. The game is absolutely free, but with the caveat of being flooded with ads, but those ads generally give you an extended run.
Horizon Chase
An interesting game, and an interesting choice of ours, yet again, since we want our users to enjoy racing at it’s finest, and at the same time, accommodating diversity. Horizon Chase is a fun Retro Style Racer, with gameplay reminiscent of the classic 80’s arcade racer: Pole Position. Featuring bright and colorful retro graphics, and over 70 tracks, spanning 32 cities.
There’s plenty of unique features to enjoy here. Each race is commenced, with a pack of 20 cars, with the user starting from the back of the pack. You must weave through the pack to emerge victoriously. The game is free, with you being able to play the San Francisco track, by paying for the full version.
Repulze
This game is proof that not all good racing games, with racing cars, requires wheels, to make a game captivating enough. A game with a $0.99 purchase tag, is compelling enough for one to spend on it, for fun, thrilling gameplay experience. Race through 24, gravity-defying tracks, in unique, experimental hovercrafts. Asides the unique way of collecting turbo boosts, that sets the game apart, the entire game is wrapped up in an overarching story-line, about the evil corporation, controlling everything, from the shadows. All in all, the game is definitely going to fill your void well.
Collin McRae Rally
Perhaps the best rally game out there. With a price tag of $0.99, you are bound to get the most fruitful experience of rally racing that you could possibly can. Rally Racing is all about winding your car down with mud, dirt, and gravel, while aiming to set the best time possible, to reach to the end of the track. This offline racer is the best option if you’re looking for something other than street games.
The controls are tight, with on-screen, and motion control options, and the game has a good grasp on real-life physics, perhaps the most crucial to rally racing. You also have to pay attention to the audio instructions of your co-driver, during gameplay, which makes it an, altogether, surreal experience. Regardless of the lengthy loading times, the game is one of the best, if not the best, rally racing games out there.
Fast & Furious Legacy
A game, based on the popular movie franchise: Fast & The Furious. The name itself, gives the game enough precedence, as the movie franchise is known for the cars and the racing stunts. The game features a good mix of missions and races. Hit the roads, and rage through the challenges, upgrading rides, facing bigger challenges, the game features all the main characters, portrayed in the franchise. Plus, the game’s free for the user to download, giving it worth a shot.
Death Rally
Here’s to the more aggressive and over-the-top users. This pick is for those who simply do not enjoy racing ‘Clean.’ They want some roughness; they want some ruggedness. Death Rally is a gritty, combat-heavy, top-down racing title. The game features an array of Mad-Max style of weapons, and it’s an all-out death-race, to devour the competition, with weapon parts, all over the battlefield.
The best part is that, even if you’re not first place, you still end up getting cash bonuses, for destroying your competition. The game’s perfect for someone looking for some good road rage, plus it’s free.
