The game is 100% customizable, it is possible to create your own cars/tracks and put them into your game, small filesize, wide variety of graphic options. BEST FREE GAME EVER!

Cars seem to fly about like feathers when hitting static objects like trees etc, and for me the game dosen't run at 1280x960 screen resolution when i've got loads of tracks and cars on it!

Developer’s Description

By Dolphinity

Drive a racing car with a realistic feeling.

Racer is a free car simulation project, using real car physics to get a realistic feeling. Cars, tracks, scenes and such can be created with relative simplicity in mind (compared to other driving simulations). The 3D and other file formats are, or should be, documented. Editors and support programs are also available to get a very flexible and expandable simulator. It uses OpenGL for rendering. It attempts to do well at the physics section, trying to create life-like cars to emphasize car control and doesn't cut back on realism in the interest of fun.
