Everything about Cars!

Have you ever wanted to fly down a road at high speeds with your dream car without a care in the world? Well with a large amount of online free car games, this can become a reality for any car lover or any casual online game lover. There are many different varieties of car games. Car games based in outer space, different countries, games based off of movies and TV shows, as well as simple racing games all exist for the player to enjoy.

Controls for most car games are simple. The four arrow keys on any laptop or computer correspond with acceleration, direction and braking. In the vast majority of games, the “Up” arrow is to move forward, the “Down” arrow is to stop or brake, and the “Left” and “Right” arrows are for steering your vehicle. Easy controls can prevent frustration among those who may not be as comfortable when it comes to computers.

Another bonus to car games that adds to their fun and excitement is the music. In place of generic, bland background noise, there’s energetic and fun music for the player to keep them into the game. At first it doesn’t seem like something that an average person wouldn’t really pay attention to. However, the music of online car games can either make the game more fun or not as enjoyable depending on how the soundtrack is.

Among the different types of online car games, there can be many different objectives. Some offer the chance to take out the bad guy, go on a high speed chase, complete an objective in the quickest time possible, or one can just play a game for a good old fashioned race. Anything is possible within the world of online car games. They provide a chance to escape the regular world an enter one filled with fast cars and good times. Whether it’s racing on the moon’s surface, accelerating for the finish line, stopping an enemy, or making money for a character, online car games are a free way of having a lot of fun. They’ll be sure to keep you glued to your seat to wait and see what will happen next.

Jodie Kidd, model and self-confessed speed freak, took on former Stig and champion racing driver Ben Collins in a short film that pitted the two petrol heads against each other for the title of most fuel efficient driver. The film, created for the New Thinker’s Index – an interactive digital experience which aims to challenge the way people think – shows the two drivers undergoing a race filled with tests set to challenge their natural approach to driving. The driver that tops the podium and takes pole position is the one that manages to curb their natural need for speed in order to use the least fuel throughout the race. Kidd talks about her experience “Whilst it is great to sit behind the wheel and go hell for leather, this challenge needed me to think in a whole new way about driving. The New Thinker’s Index Big Green Race taught me a lot about fuel efficiency and how to affect it with my driving style, which is definitely knowledge that will be useful day-to-day. I came out as a Natural Thinker on the test which makes sense as I do tend to go with my gut , whereas Ben came out as a Self Aware thinker – I think you can see that the test is pretty accurate by our different approaches to the race!” Collins agrees, ‘As a racing driver you can analyse and agree an approach to a race with your team before it starts because you have a good idea of the variables before you even get in the car. This challenge needed me to think differently as I didn’t know how Jodie would approach the race and there were decisions that had to be made on the spot along with on-going calculations of speed and distance vs. fuel efficiency – it was definitely a whole new way of thinking for me!” Jodie and Ben joins a host of high profile personalities from a variety of disciplines who have put their minds to the test to launch the New Thinker’s Index for Hyundai including land speed record holder Richard Noble OBE. Richard was challenged to think differently by working with a group of children to see if he could help them increase their speed to win the Belchford Soapbox Challenge race. The series of short films look at new ways of thinking and an online test enables you to compare the way your mind works to great thinkers of the past; famous sports stars, music legends and actors of the present.

Ian Wright, former England and Arsenal footballer, swaps his boots for dance shoes as he directs a group of performers in a short film exploring the common ground that exists between football and dance. Created for the New Thinker’s Index – an interactive digital experience which aims to challenge the way people think – the short film shows tap, capoeira, gymnasts, break and street dancers come together with Ian to combine their disciplines with football skills. These carefully crafted sequences create a unique film showcasing the synonymy between these two worlds to a backdrop of urban beats. Wright talks about his inspiration to take up the challenge, “The New Thinker’s Index challenge got me thinking in a completely new way – in football you think about your footwork, but the aim is to score a goal or win the ball, this made me think about the new possibilities with a football, focusing more on the aesthetics and rhythm. The skills you need for both disciplines really complement each other – the dancers would make great footballers and I reckon footballers would benefit from a few tap or capoeira lessons to add a whole new dimension to their game. This film combines art, performance and sport in some seriously new thinking.’ Ian Wright joins a host of high profile personalities from a variety of disciplines who have put their minds to the test to launch the New Thinker’s Index for Hyundai.

With the current Civic being known for its unique exterior styling and interior practicality within the C segment in Europe, Mitsuru Kariya and his team were keen to further understand the needs and desires of the European customers.

We have focussed our development on fulfilling these expectations and through this process we have taken our development standards even further to a new level.” (Mitsuru Kariya, LPL) With the current increase of fuel prices across Europe and the environmental targets set to achieve low emissions, it was concluded from the European customer survey that the current Civic customer not only considers modern styling and performance to be important but also advanced technologies to create a Civic that was even more cost efficient to run and eco-friendly.

If we never venture into the unknown, how do we get anywhere new? That’s the lesson the Honda engineers learnt when developing the New Civic. In order to progress, it is necessary to venture into the great unknown. After all, treading along a common path will never lead to something new or innovative.

Online gamers have been given a new take on free online racing games following the release of Happy Wheels, a game that has been created on the ‘get from point A to point B’ methodology but with the added danger of the chance to have your character dismembered throughout the course.

The game was thought to be another one that would simply phase into the free online gaming market before dying out of existence but the reception that the game has received is one that no one could have predicted, with more than 4 million searches for the title very month according to search engine giants Google.

The game has raised questions by parents that have witnessed the game and have expressed their disapproval of the game in which characters are seen to lose limbs and be churned up into small pieces, including a small child which is seen on the back of a bicycle.

Gamers have simply said that they don’t see what the issues are with the game as it is only a simulation of a virtual world in which no one really gets hurt, some players saying that they consider the game to be fun rather than serious, which is the way in which free online games are meant to be.

At the start of the game there is a character selection screen in which you choose your racer as you try to complete the dangerous levels in the fastest possible timescale, although as the levels progress the danger within the levels increases and the chances that your racer is going to make it through the full course reduce significantly.

The game seems set for bigger a better things and could result in a second title being created by the developers of Happy Wheels, meaning that you could be offered different characters, courses and most of all more blood and guts, something that gamers say that  they are already ready for.
