I can't drive and my fine motor skills are non-existent, so racing games are usually not my thing. However, along with the rest of the SAFK team I downloaded this game a few weeks ago when it was free for Moms With Apps App Friday. I had a blast playing it and so did the rest of the team. I contacted the developer and they agreed to make the app free for another day so our followers could share in the fun!
Here I am hugging the railings, about to hurtle past the opposition towards certain victory.
It's not terribly sophisticated - you're basically driving a matchbox with buttons for wheels on what looks like the virtual wooden floor of a kid's bedroom. But it's easy to play, the old-timey music is fun and even a klutz like me had a great time playing it.
Here I am hurtling over a jump towards... the track...
Apparently I'm supposed to tilt the device away or towards me to keep my car stable when jumping. Check.
The app in general is super-easy to use - just tilt the device to steer and tap the screen to brake.
Did I mention you can design your own track?!

It also has to be good.
