Race It: Car Racing

The pitch is immediacy: open it, pick a car, race someone. There is no career to work through and no garage to manage, which makes it a good fit for a short break rather than an evening.

One-on-one racing keeps the pressure personal. With a single rival there is nowhere to hide, and the lead changes hands often enough that most races are decided in the last section.

Handling is arcade-simple, so the learning curve is measured in seconds rather than laps.

Rivals adapt their pace to yours, so a comfortable lead rarely stays comfortable for a whole lap.

Races are short enough to run several in a few minutes.

1. Pick a car and start a race immediately.
2. Take the inside line into corners.
3. Defend the position on the exit rather than the entry.
4. Win the head-to-head to move on.
