Are you a lover of car racing simulators? Then you should know that Racer is one of the best free proposals you can find in this category, which will keep you entertained for a good while. And besides, you don't even need to install it because it runs from a compressed file, so you can take it with you to use it on as many computers as you want throughout the day.

The first thing you must consider when considering Racer is that it is not a racing simulator that emphasizes its graphic section. Still, it bets above all to offer us a driving experience as accurately as possible. That is to say, it is a game designed for those demanding in-car control systems. If you want something colorful or fun, you'd better look for an alternative title.

Everything we have pointed out above has to do with the sense of the game, the concept that the developers have pursued at the time of working on this title, and the truth is that they have achieved an excellent result. The physics of each movement are spectacular and as close as possible to what could happen in real life, which is what this game can offer you as entertainment.

To enjoy this title, you must select a car and a track. As you can see in the screenshots accompanying the review, the initial options are relatively few, although later, we will unlock others. The game has many different features, so depending on your driving style, one may be more functional.

At the same time, you have the possibility of selecting what type of race you want, if you only want to train yourself to get to know the different circuits we have available and the driving system of the car you have chosen, or a race in which you will face other cars. In this second case, keep in mind that you can select if you want to challenge the artificial intelligence of the application or, through an Internet connection, people from anywhere in the world.

How about the graphics of Racer? We liked them a lot, to be honest, considering that both cars and tracks are well made, and as we mentioned, there is outstanding work regarding all movements. The feeling we are left with is that this is a realistic game, too much at times, but in no way can we criticize the work done by its creators.

TheCommunitybehind Racer is another aspect impossible to avoid since many users are dedicated to generating new cars and circuits that we can download as additional content to the game. We can access the source code of the game, which is public, to generate other cars or tracks.

We have tried our luck with some additional content that interested us. Thanks to them, we enjoyed the entertainment of varied cars, such as Formula 1 cars or other tournaments and competitions, trucks, luxury cars, etc. And what other circuits can I download to diversify Racer's proposal? Many attractive ones, such as highways, roads in the middle of the city, etc.

Finally, remember that, as we said before, Racer is a portable program, so you only have to worry about having a file decompressor, which allows you to access the executable to run it from there. If we add that it is a game that does not weigh too much and does not consume too many system resources, we can be sure to run it in seconds on any PC.

Among the main positive points of Racer, we have, without a doubt, the title's graphics, besides the fact that at all times, you can see how the car's movements and reactions to different situations seem to be taken from real life. It is also interesting the number of cars and circuits we have available and that we will be able to unlock as we win victories in the first challenges.

Of course, Racer also has some aspects that we did not like. Although the proposal is fun, and you can play it, at times, everything becomes somewhat repetitive, and we have to make an effort to keep ourselves entertained. At the same time, the program is only available in English, which could be annoying for some users, although it hasn't caused any significant inconvenience.

In summary, we conclude that Racer is a car racing simulator that will leave all users who want a feeling as close as possible to participating in a real-life competition completely happy. As it is portable and we can run it without needing to install it, we think it is worth trying to see if it is what you are looking for.
