Sixty seconds is all you get. The road curves away toward a horizon of mountains, a pack of slower cars clogs the lanes ahead, and every second you spend stuck behind one is distance you never get back. Speedway Sprint unblocked is a short, punchy time attack you can finish on any break.
Frank Force built it for his open-source LittleJS Arcade under the name Speedway. The car, road and scenery are all drawn in code, and the sounds are made on the fly.
How to play Speedway Sprint
Hit Play and your car rolls off from a dead stop. Hold the gas to build speed. The number in the corner climbs toward 230 mph, and your score rises the farther you travel, so speed and clean lines are what count.
A dozen rival cars lap the circuit at lower speeds. Clip one from behind and you lose roughly half your pace and get shoved sideways. Drift off the asphalt and the grass slows you hard and pays fewer points. Curves also push you toward the outside, so you need to lean into each one.
The clock only counts down while you are moving. When it hits zero, a Time Up screen shows your result and one more press starts the next run. Laps do not add time, so your goal is simple: more road in the same minute.

Tips
- Turn in early. The car keeps sliding a beat after you stop steering, so gentle input before the bend beats a hard yank in the middle of it.
- Pass with room to spare. Rivals wobble a little inside their lanes. Pick the wider gap instead of squeezing past by a hair.
- Stay on the gas if you hit the grass. Holding it keeps you rolling so you can steer back. Lifting off lets the car crawl to a stop.
- Make up time on straights. After a bump, the long straight sections are where you get back to full speed fastest.
- Choose one steering style. On a computer, moving the mouse takes over steering, and an arrow key hands it back. Mixing them mid-run causes wobbles.
Speedway Sprint questions
Can I use a game controller?
Yes. A gamepad works alongside keyboard, mouse and touch. The left stick steers, and the face buttons or trigger handle gas and brake.
Does finishing a lap give me more time?
No. Every run is one minute, and the lap number is just a progress marker. The timer pauses when the car is stopped, but standing still earns nothing.
Is Speedway Sprint playable on a phone?
Yes. A stick for steering shows up on the left and two round pedals on the right. Turn the phone sideways to see more of the road ahead.
