Memorizing the corners will not help you here, because the track is different every time you start. Tiny Track Racer unblocked builds a fresh looping circuit for each race and drops your red car onto the grid with three computer rivals. Three laps later, the fastest driver takes the win.
It began as Micro Racer in Frank Force's open-source LittleJS Arcade. The cars, road and scenery are drawn in code, and the camera looks farther ahead as you pick up speed.
How to play Tiny Track Racer
After you hit Play, the cars line up behind a checkered line and a short countdown runs. The clock starts on GO. Your time, lap and position sit in the top left corner.
The gray road is the fast lane. The pale strip along each edge slows you slightly, and the sand and grass past it drop your top speed to around a third. A striped barrier runs around the whole track, and bumping it knocks you back. Rubbing against another car slows you both.
Small spinning squares on the road are boost pads. Run over one for a short kick of speed, shown by a flame behind your car. Pads disappear for a few seconds after anyone takes one, so the rivals can steal them. Finish three laps to see the results, where unfinished cars are marked DNF.

Tips
- Lift for a split second in tight turns. Full throttle makes the car slide wide, while a quick release keeps it on the asphalt.
- Drift the hairpins. Holding Space loosens the grip so the car swings around faster, perfect for the sharpest bends.
- Aim for pads early. They sit off to alternating sides of the road, so set your line before you reach them instead of swerving.
- Overtake on the straights. The rivals brake for hard corners, which leaves room to slip past when the road opens up.
- Back off the wall. If you get stuck, reverse with the brake, point down the track and go.
Tiny Track Racer questions
Why is the track never the same?
Each race generates a new closed loop from random points. Restarting from the menu or with the restart keys always gives you a different layout.
Is my best time saved?
Yes. Your fastest finish shows on the title screen and is stored in this browser. Any random layout counts toward that record.
Can I race on a phone?
Yes. On touch screens you steer with a stick on the left side and use two buttons on the right for gas and brake. Drifting needs a keyboard or gamepad, though plenty of races are won without it.
