Get out on that track and show them what you can do!
Inspired by top down racers like Circuit Superstars, Real World Racing and Ultimate Racing 2D, TrackStar is an attempt to create a semi-realistic car racing simulator that runs in the browser so anyone can hop into a virtual car anywhere they have access to an internet connection (or even offline via upcoming PWA support).
Try it out here. Use a gamepad, touch (in progress), keyboard arrows or WASD keys to drive. Enjoy!
Also check out the track editor here!

Borrowing initial physics code from pakastins amazing car.js.org, TrackStar is being developed online at Glitch.com using modern Web Standards based technologies and the Phaser HTML5 game framework.
