Asphalt is a household name when it comes to mobile racing, its has been on/around the scene since 2004, and in 2013 it released asphalt 8 airborne as the name suggests you get rewards for stunts you perform while you are (you guessed it) airborne, jokes apart despite being almost 5-year-old game it has always been in top 5 racing games for mobile since its inception.

Kudos to Gameloft for providing timely updates which give user incremental graphics update every now and then.

Game Play:

Asphalt is classic arcade game which offers you multiple modes to play with namely elimination, infection, knockdown, versus, and tag racing.

It has pretty much every control mode you would like to have be it tilt to steer, tap the side, or virtual steering on the screen with auto acceleration but for those who would want to have total control of the car also have an option of manual acceleration and deceleration.

If your dream is to drive as fast as you can through the corkscrew at laguna seca then this the game you've been looking for (Racing fans can understand the reference), With its third installment in this series, the game checks many boxes (ticks many boxes) right.

Real racing to me is the best driving sim available in the Apple App store till date, it has all the ingredients which a racing enthusiast would want in a mobile racing game, from Paganis to ferraris to ford the game has it all you could ask for. But all this comes with a caveat its plagued with in-app purchases.

Game Play:

Real racing has plethora of controls to choose from with steering and braking assist to turning your traction control off. It has all the different events and series which automobile calendar has to offer.

If you fancy then you could build your own racing team and compete. Being true to its name real racing offers many real-world tracks, fully licensed cars, and after every race like in real world your car would need a service, there's a penalty for going off track and hitting other cars.

Key game features:

• Real life physics
• Exotic cars
• First person view
• 900+ events
• Stunning graphics

Game Play:

It might be regarded as poor man's mario kart but it's more than that and to be fair mario kart isn't available on app store yet (nintendo has plans to release it in early 2019).

I just love this game personally. Beach buggy has a lot to offer as the developer says its fast, furious, fun and free. Game has 6 different characters who have their own unique power-up which can be used once per race and 15 tracks to race on.

Game Play:

It might not bring anything exciting to go kart racing genre choose a character, vehicle, and then track to compete with 5 other opponents for the win but beach buggy has few tricks up its sleeves which prevents this game from growing stale.

Despite being primarily single player game its career mode is interactive/exciting enough in which you complete challenges to earn stars and in return those stars help you to unlocks more levels.

At the end of the each series you race with boss and if you win you unlock that character.

Key game features:

• Split Screen Multiplayer
• character specific power-up
• Daily challenges

We all love speed, and traffic rider delivers that in spades it has the perfect combination of fast, first person perspective and incredible controls. It has wide range of motorcycles from entry level mopeds to kawasaki superbikes.

It offers various different environment, day to night transition, free rides with zero challenges and zero traffic. IMHO the best way to enjoy this game is to turn on your favourite tracks and just enjoy in-game Rides.

Game Play:

Traffic rider offers you roads with no hair-pins or corners, it has straight never ending road. It has a career mode with 70 different challenges. as you advance through career mode you level up and unlock different modes, bikes and gradually game becomes harder in career mode so you've to purchase new bike.

If career mode starts to seem flat then you've endless, time trial and free ride which allows you to choose environment of your choice and i don't think anybody needs an explanation on how these modes work.

Key game features:

• Good Graphics (not something to write about worth mentioning)
• Real engine sounds of the bikes
• responsive controls
• No energy based system

8 Need for Speed: No Limits

I don't think this game needs any introduction, probably the most successful racing game franchise ever, it even got a movie after all. Need for Speed No Limits

Developed by the same studio(firemonkey) who made real racing series for EA, being true to its name no limits its free to play until you hit the paywall because by this time we all know how EA deals with free to play game (pay as you progress) but to be fair it isn't as intrusive as it is in other EA games.

Game Play:

The controls are pretty effortless tap either side to steer swipe up to boost and swipe down to drift, acceleration and deceleration taken care off by AI.

The story isn't something to write about like most of NFS games but something is better than nothing right. It has over 900+ races on 38 different tracks with 30 fully licensed cars which you can upgrade as per the particular race demands.

EA has made this game for casual gamers, easy control, familiar game play and on top of that no race lasts more than a minute.

Key game features:

• Easy control
• Shorter mobile friendly sessions
• Profusion of customization from mod shops and black market
• Live special events

Definitely, one of the best mobile racing game to pick up for your iOS devices.

If you don't fancy cars and and almost 90% of racing games are car based dont worry we've got you covered riptide gp2 might be 5 years old game but it holds its ground firm in this genre, i mean the fact that we've included it in our list despite the last time this game was updated was in 2015 only because of its wonderfully detailed tracks and meticulously realistic physics. It is one of the few games which looks as good as it plays.

Game Play:

Riptide gp2 gives you an option of choosing from 4 modes namely (run of the mill)career mode, elimination, hot lap, and freestyle. In elimination last placed player gets eliminated from the race every 10 seconds, in freestyle your aim is to get as much as score possible while performing some ridiculously amazing stunts, while in hot lap a gaudy name for time trial. Riptide gp2 has 8 beautiful worlds and and multiple hydro jets (jet ski) to select for the race

Key game features:

• 4 way online multiplayer
• Amazing graphics
