Gear Shift Race

Gear Shift Race is a free online racing game you can play right here in your browser, with no download and no sign-up. Gear Shift Race is about speed, lines and nerve.

About Gear Shift Race

The genre lives on upgrades or unlocks between races, responsive steering and tracks or roads that reward memorisation. Gear Shift Race understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Under the surface it is a test of risk management and spatial awareness, dressed up in competitive presentation.

Tips and tricks

Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
Because this is a Endless game, consistency beats bravery — a safe lane held for a long time outscores risky bonuses.

Who will enjoy it
