If there is a genre of video games that I like it is that of the car race that has always fascinated and amused me. In this article dedicated to free driving games on PC, let's see which are the best with 3D view and beautiful graphics, both realistic simulation and more arcade and faster ones, including those that can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Store only for Windows 10 .
The 20 listed here are all 3D games with guide and view inside the car, in subjective, fast and with really cured graphics, so beautiful that in some cases you might be amazed they can be really free. The race between cars therefore becomes a very addicting and stimulating speed race and the tracks become battlefields to measure one's ability and reflexes.
Best 3D race car games, car races and motorcycles (Android - iPhone)
1) Asphalt 9: Legends is the latest addition to the Asphalt series, which fortunately is not an exclusive of smartphones and has always remained free.
Asphalt can be downloaded for Windows 10 PC from the Microsoft Store and played with keyboard and mouse or with the joypad. Asphalt 9's graphics are better than their predecessors, while the download file is much smaller in size than other versions.
2) Asphalt 8 Airborne is a great 3D car racing game, one of the best ever, the most downloaded of the whole series. While the graphics of Asphalt 9 are clearly better, Asphalt 8 still remains to be played for its different, more realistic playability, more based on true driving skills.
Asphalt 8, for Windows 10, can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Store.
3) Forza Motorsport 6 Apex is one of the most beautiful machine games, at the console level, that can be downloaded and played for free on Windows 10 PC in a reduced version, but enough to have fun. Forza 6 has spectacular graphics, an amazing sound system, with many cars to choose from and 6 tracks to race in which to compete against other machines without any limitation. The games are all against the computer, without multiplayer in this free version. The download of the game weighs 21.8 GB and the PC must have a good graphics card in order to play it.
4) Copa Petrobras de Marcas is a beautiful 3D car racing game, completely free and downloadable from Steam (therefore for Windows 10 and also Windows 7) where you can drive in a real Gran Turismo car race in some of the race circuits most beautiful in Brazil. Very realistic, the game also has management and customization components.
5) The race game Victory (review on another page) is perhaps the best and most fun game that you can download for free and play in multiplayer mode on PC, to compete with vintage cars, however very fast. The gameplay is a mix between realistic simulation and arcade fun.
6) Need For Speed Most Wanted, game of 2012, can be downloaded for free from the Origin store and is still one of the best 3D driving games. The races have the police chasing us and a style all based on the Fast And Furious film series.
7) TrackMania Nations Forever is still, after 10 years, the best multiplayer car racing game, with an all arcade gameplay where you can compete against other players.
The strength of TrackMania Forever is certainly the speed, the jumps and the stunts that require not only skill behind the wheel but also a good dose of reasoning and cunning. Although old, I really recommend trying it again (or for the first time) for how much fun it is.
8) Rigs Of Road, the best realistic car driving simulator to which I dedicated an article several years ago and which you can still download today to try to drive the car or other means of transport as if they were real.
9) Live For Speed is a beautiful racing game (also Formula One) where you have to drive in multiplayer races. It is a realistic simulation for experts and for those who love to have full control of the car. The free game, however, contains only one track and a few machines to choose from.
10) Torcs is an open source game for Windows, Mac and Linux PCs, more crude than the others from a graphic point of view, but excellent for those looking for a realistic simulation. The strength, however, is, once again, the playability and the fact that you can even play with the mouse.
Machine customizations and other graphic additions are also available on the site to embellish the game.
11) Stunt Rally is the game to have fun with a simple and fast 3D car race, with single races, challenges, championships and multiplayer modes.
12) VDrif is one of the best free PC games listed on another page and is available for Windows, Linux and Mac.
The car simulation is very playable and fun, inspired by Fast and Furious, with the possibility of drift, the choice of 28 cars to choose from and where you can drive on many tracks and tracks.
13) RaceRoom Racing Experience is a game that can be downloaded for free from Steam, free to play with the possibility of downloading additional paid content. The game is a very realistic driving simulation, with high quality multiplayer and online race modes.
14) Racer The Real Deal is a free game of machines that can be played on both Mac and Linux and Windows. It is not very fun to drive, but as a car racing simulator it allows you to run in 3D view with a very varied and very beautiful graphics, with the effect of the sun on the environment that disturbs the view. The game can then be completely customized with thousands of cars.
15) Space Racing 3D is not a car race, but a race of spaceships floating on the road, with very spectacular graphics and full of special effects.
Since these machines are really fast, it is necessary to train hard not to fall off the track.
16) GT Racing 2: The Real Car Experience is one of the best driving games for PC Windows 10, free. The game is very vast, with many maps and cars to drive, in an absolutely realistic way and with 4 different shots.
The 20 listed here are all 3D games with guide and view inside the car, in subjective, fast and with really cured graphics, so beautiful that in some cases you might be amazed they can be really free.

On another page, the list continues with Go-kart racing games and car crashes .
Driving simulators to learn how to drive the car are of different kinds, less engaging but always fun.
