About Desert Racing

Desert Racing is the open-source 3D racing game by Poimandres, the developer collective behind react-three-fiber, built by its community as a showcase of what a browser can do. Drive a classic muscle car along a winding road through red desert canyons, past roadside buildings, power lines and a train, and race the clock through every checkpoint.

The car handles with real physics: you can drift through the bends with Space, use the turbo boost and reset the car if you leave the road. Switch cameras, pick your car colour and keep a list of your best times in this browser.
