Racer 0.5.4.3
Racer is a free car simulation project, using real car physics to get a realistic feeling. Cars, tracks, scenes and such can be created with relative simplicity in mind (compared to other driving simulations). The 3D and other file formats are, or should be, documented. Editors and support programs are also available to get a very flexible and expandable simulator. It uses OpenGL rendering.
Mac OS X Only
Mac OS X 10.5 or later
OpenGL 3D card

| Great fun if you download extra cars and tracks elsewhere(there are tons, trust me). Cars and tracks are pretty customizable(you can even make your own with some work). Controls are fine if you have a wheel and a decently made car.
Lots of graphics customization options if you know where to look.
Biggest downside is that it needs a very powerful CPU, you can get by with a not so spectacular graphics card but not CPU.
Need to keep in mind that Racer is being developed by a single guy who is doing Linux and Windows versions as well.
I have been using Racer for many years and even though I quite like it I really hate to say that it kinda is one of the better racing/driving sims for Mac OS unless you go into "ciderized" ones and such.
Though, to be fair I generally avoid things that I cannot use late 60s to early 70s cars in.. >_> |

| Camera angle changes every few seconds, just to throw you off the track. Controls are shockingly bad, with oversteer, no grip, and overly sensitive handling. Until camera issues are fixed, don't bother |

| pretty neat, to bad theres only one car to play as and you cant set the controls(i tried, it doesnt work out well). |

| controls suck completely. graphic problems. stupid physics (almost no movement off road; barely any grip) and small window only. shocking slow on a 2GHz iMac Dualcore with lots of RAM.
Better go for the Nedd for Speed (autumn 2007). |

| Macgamefiles added a wrong download link, itīs only 2,7 MB.
Here you can find the correct link:
http://www.racer.nl/download/Racer054beta1.sparsebundle.zip
To extend Racer with a lot of other cars and tracks, you should check the following link:

Itīs a pitty, this app works not correct on my Macmini.
It could be a great game.
