🚗 Car Games

What the automatic list dragged in

Left to fill itself by tag, the first forty-eight included GTA New York, Grand Theft Stunt, Minion Rush 2, Russian Taz Driving 2, Cyber Truck Drive Simulator, Bentley Supersports and Ford F-100.

Out of two hundred candidates, twenty-two carried a name that belongs to someone else — real marques with their badge on the bonnet, and characters out of films. They stay in the catalogue, because anybody searching for them should find them. They are not on a page that says we chose it.

That costs something real: lamborghini car games and bmw car games are searched 1,100 times a month between them, and the honest answer is that we have nothing for either.

What English asks for that nobody else does

what gets searched	per month
car racing games	8,800
car games	6,100
3d car driving games	3,900
multiplayer car racing games	3,100
pc racing games	3,100
kids car games	2,800
two player racing games	2,400
ipad racing games	1,900

mobile racing games	1,600
car mechanic simulator	1,400
car stunt games	1,000
car wash games	889

Two things stand out, and neither shows up in Spanish, Portuguese, French or Italian.

Playing together. Multiplayer and two-player racing come to 5,500 searches a month. In Spain the equivalent slot is taken by console searches; in Brazil by lowered cars; in France by crashes. English wants somebody else in the passenger seat.

Which device. iPad and mobile racing add another 3,500. That is a question about the machine, not the game, and it deserves a number rather than a promise.

Here are both numbers: nine of these forty-eight are two-player on one keyboard, and twenty of forty-eight are marked for touch.

The racing page is a different page

Sixteen of these also sit on racing games; thirty-two do not.

The split is real. Racing is about the finish line, and that page includes bikes and boats. This one is about the car itself: drifting it sideways, wrecking it, ramping it over a gap, washing it, or driving around a city with nowhere in particular to be. car racing games outsearches car games 8,800 to 6,100, so if it is the finish line you want, the other page is the better one.

Weight

The whole car shelf is the heaviest thing we host: a median of 14.5 MB against 7.8 MB for the catalogue. A car game has to bring a place to drive — textured road, buildings on both sides, moving traffic, a sky, and a car with enough polygons to hold up in the rear view at two hundred.

These forty-eight median 7.4 MB, under the site average and half the shelf they came from. The exact figure for every game is printed on its card before you press play.
