The racers included below have been selected for quality and fun, rather than realism and depth of play. There's plenty to explore in both, but anyone looking for a more traditional big name racer will want to check out long-standing favorites like Asphalt: Airborne 8, CSR 2 and Real Racing 3.

Micro Machines
Micro Machines needs little introduction on any platform, and the Android game is no different. Grab yourself a car, select a race mode and you'll be thrown into a race against other real opponents playing around the world.

As is common in many free-to-play games nowadays, you'll need to play a fair amount to unlock new courses and vehicles as you progress, but there's enough variety to keep you entertained. And if you're happy to hand over some money to skip the grind, you can do that instead.
In race modes, the objective is pretty simple - get across the line first by any means necessary, which means using the weapons and other pickups you'll collect as you race. In elimination mode, points are awarded to racers that manage to keep up the pace and stay on screen, and in Battle mode there's no course to race around and the only aim is destruction of your enemies.
Sounds like fun? That's because it is.

Dirt Xtreme
For anyone that prefers their races short and on two wheels, Dirt Xtreme is a new game that pitches a great balance of exciting races with challenging courses. It's essentially a racing game that's somewhere between a straight-out motocross game and a trial bike game that rewards balance and control.
Races are mostly a minute or less, making it ideal for quick blasts when you just have a few minutes and there's a selection of different bikes and tracks to unlock.

In career mode, you work your way through different locations, each of which have multiple stages, racing against other players. When there aren't suitably skill-matched real opponents for you to race against, AI fills the gap.
The upgrade system requires you to collect multiple items for each bike part, and you can upgrade each bike multiple times to significantly increase its overall stats. Even better, a recently introduced daily bonus makes getting the parts and bike blueprints required easier.
Once you've got the hang of things, switch to full manual controls for a more rewarding experience that requires better timing and skill.
