About Stock Car Hero

Stock car racing where overtaking is the whole game. The pack is ahead of you, the track is busy, and getting through means threading gaps that close while you are looking at them. Boost is there for the moment a gap opens, not for the straight.

Coins picked up on the way pay for upgrades, so a run that ends in the middle of the field still buys you something for the next one. The tracks vary enough that the line which worked on one is not the line on the next. It plays at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.

How to play

  1. Steer through the traffic ahead of you.
  2. Collect the coins scattered along the track.
  3. Save the boost for a gap rather than a straight.
  4. Spend the coins on upgrades between runs.

Controls

Tap or clickEverything. One input does the whole game.

Tips

  • Pick the gap before you reach it. Deciding late in a pack of cars leaves you nowhere to put the nose.
  • Boost out of a squeeze, not into one. Speed you cannot steer through is a crash with extra momentum.
