Formula Racing

Play Formula Racing free online. Five laps of a grand prix in a fast single-seater — use the slipstream to overtake.

High-speed single-seater racing against five rivals on a long grand-prix circuit. These cars are fast and grippy, with brakes to match, so carry speed through the sweepers and brake hard and late for the hairpins. Tuck in close behind a rival on the straights to catch their slipstream for an extra burst of speed.
