Rigs of Rods

Rigs of Rods, is a realistic driving simulator that gives you the possibility of driving all kinds of vehicles within a virtual environment: trucks, cars, planes and boats. That means you can drive, fly or sail in total freedom in an open environment.

Our Recommendations: 

Real Racing 3 (Android, iOS)

This game sets the standard with what mobile gaming is capable of these days as EA bring you unrivalled graphics along with fantastic gameplay. We really do believe that this is the closest you can get to the on-track feel in your pocket right now.

CarX Drift Racing (Android, iOS)

It may take you a while to get good at this game, but we can assure you that once you do, you won’t want to put it down! We absolutely love drifting and this is the ultimate way to burn tyres on the go.

Offroad Truck Driver (Flash)

This game is a great time burner whether you’re at home or at work with some spare time. Nothing is more convenient than loading a flash game and stepping into the action as you deliver goods in your truck in the most challenging conditions.

Drift Hunters (Flash)

Not another drift game?! Yep, we’re afraid so, it’s just too good to leave off the list and the perfect opportunity to practice your oversteer control before you head home to your gaming rig!

Live For Speed (PC)

We recommend that this is played with a steering wheel and pedals, but don’t let that put you off. This fantastic simulator is up there with the likes of Assetto Corsa and will cost you absolutely nothing! This is a particularly popular game with the modding and drifting communities.

Rigs of Rods (PC)

This game features quite possibly the most realistic crash and damage physics we have ever witnessed in a game. If you like having fun and crashing into things in a safe and controlled environment, we definitely recommend giving this a try!

Of course, these are purely recommendations. You can play a selection of free flash games at SmartDrivingGames – also make sure to check your phone’s App Store frequently for new releases.

  1. Quite a comprehensive list of free driving games. I haven’t played them all but can vouch for Asphalt 8: Airborne and Real Racing 3.

  2. Android and iOS seem to be quite popular when it comes to driving games. I think driving games are also great for high-end mobile devices, especially to show off technical and graphical prowess since developers can really shine in those aspects, especially when better hardware allows for compactness, performance, and aesthetics.

    I will say, driving games on Adobe Flash Player like Drift Hunters, City Rider, King of Drift, etc. are kind of dead now, especially since you can’t conveniently play these older games on a browser. Instead, you have to resort to Flash preservation projects, such as BlueMaxima, if you want to play (some) of these games.
