The best racing game I've seen on scratch ?

Race against another player.

Race against the computer.

I've looked around for ideas, and I'm now developing a formula 1 version, but this is the best physics and ideas I've seen so far.

How far can you go ?

I know it hasn't got a splash front page or instructions
Just use arrow keys, and race, winner is first to 10 laps.

The other car is controlled by keys W, A, S, and Z. Plus, press C to change to a different car (Car 2), or Space to change car for car1 (different Acceleration, Max Speed, and Traction profiles.)

Oh yes, when you've changed to the banana costume, press m (or b in car 2) to leave bananas on the track and cause your opponents to go into a spin !

Once you've collected the parrot bonus, press P for Car 1 or T for Car 2. The parrot will fly until it grabs the other car.

Bump into the computer cars and send them spinning the wrong way around the track.

Any other ideas ...???

Hint - get the yellow gripper bonus to stop the drift as you corner, and reduce the slow down on the grass.

The chart next to each players lap counter shows the

Maxspeed
Acceleration
Traction

Of the car they are driving. Each of these gets bigger when a bonus is picked up.

Lap counter broken ? Maybe just on my version where I've added sound, plus is it just on my laptop or does the S (turn right) button not always work ?

Re: The best racing game I've seen on scratch ?

Fixed the lap counter - was caused by a Play-sound-until-done block (prevented rest of script block finishing on time), replaced with a Play sound block.
Also rounded the lap time to 1 decimal place as it sometimes half filled the screen with digits.
Thinking about adding missiles to cars - anyone think it's a good idea ?
