Here are 15 of the best free racing games for Android. Which one do you choose?
Hellrider
A crazy and unbridled racing arcade. The character design, each more colorful, is just great. It has several game modes and many challenges you will have to complete mounted on your motorcycle while making good use of your non-regulation weapon.
A very fun title with an excellent soundtrack that helps package one of the most remarkable arcade experiences for Android devices in recent times.
Asphalt Xtreme

With Xtreme, they have improved in everything: multiplayer races, more than 400 events, and 50 cars from which we can choose between monster trucks, buggies, pickups, and even trucks.
It is a freemium game with over 10 million downloads and a 4.2-star rating on Google Play.
Mario Kart Tour
Mario Kart Tour had the honor of boasting the most successful launch in mobile gaming history (until Call of Duty Mobile came out and stole its title). In any case, as with Super Mario Run, Nintendo has managed to provide this Mario Kart Tour with graphics to match, brand of the house, and simple but addictive gameplay.
At the playable level, it is more limited than the versions of Mario Kart for video consoles, although it makes it feel like a game of the franchise at all levels, which is quite positive. It has many circuits and characters that we can unlock, and since 2020 it also offers a multiplayer mode. It has a lot of microtransactions, but otherwise a most enjoyable game.
#DRIVE
A game that stands out for its successful visual aesthetics and its simple but highly polished graphics. Inspired by the road movies of the 70s, #DRIVE is an endless runner or infinite race game, where you will go through procedurally generated roads and cities while you flee from the police and collect bottle caps you use to unlock new cars.
The concept is very basic, but the truth is that it exudes a truly unique personality. Without a doubt, the developers hit the right key. A good racing game for mobile.

As a curiosity, it also has a multiplayer mode that allows up to 4 people to play simultaneously on a split-screen.
A very fun craze with a 4.5-star rating on Google Play and over 50 million downloads. If you don’t like Nintendo’s proposal and its Mario Kart Tour, take a look at this title.
