StrikeTrack: how to play, tracks, cars and tips
StrikeTrack is GamezStrike's own 3D racing game. It has real car models and a physics engine with grip, weight transfer, suspension and downforce. There are 36 tracks across 5 worlds, medal times to beat, ghosts, world-record leaderboards and a track editor. It is free and runs in your browser.
How to play StrikeTrack
Drive through every checkpoint, then cross the finish line as fast as you can. Each track has four medal times: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Strike. Beating them earns coins for your GamezStrike wallet and credits for the car dealership.

Cars and the garage
You earn credits every time you finish a race, with more for medals and personal bests. Spend them in the garage on new cars, engine swaps, tuning and paint.
- Hatchback, Saloon and Coupe: light and easy to control, good for learning the tracks.
- Muscle and Pickup: heavy with lots of power. Brake early.
- Rally and Buggy: grip well on dirt and grass and handle jumps well.
- GT racer and Hyper: fast road cars with strong downforce at speed.
- Formula: the most grip and the hardest braking, but the least forgiving.
- Hover: a futuristic car that floats over every surface and turns the sharpest of all.
Ghosts, leaderboards and challenges
Your fastest run on each track is saved as a ghost: a see-through car that drives your best line so you can see where you lose time. If you sign in with Google, your times go on the world leaderboards and you can race the ghost of any player in the top 10, including the world record.
After a race, press Challenge a friend to send a link. Your friend races against your exact run and sees by how much they won or lost.
Track editor
Open the Track editor from the main menu. Pick a piece, click to place it and press R to turn it. Use the height buttons to build bridges and jumps. Every track needs a start and a finish. When it works, share the link: anyone who opens it can race your track and save it to their own tracks.
Tips for faster times
- Brake in a straight line before a corner, then turn. Braking while turning makes the car slide.
- Stay off the grass and dirt with road cars: they lose grip and speed there.
- In the air you can tilt the car with the steering and pedals. Land with all four wheels down to keep your speed.
- Race your ghost and watch the split times at each checkpoint to find where you lose time.
- Tune the suspension, ride height and camber in the garage: softer suspension helps on bumpy tracks, a lower car is steadier on smooth ones.
- Press R to restart instantly instead of finishing a bad run.
Questions
Is StrikeTrack free?
Yes. StrikeTrack is free to play in your browser on GamezStrike, with no download and no ads.
Can I play StrikeTrack on my phone?
Yes. On phones and tablets the steering arrows appear on the left and the pedals on the right. Turn your phone sideways for the best view.
How do I get the Strike medal?
The Strike medal is faster than gold and close to a perfect run. Learn the track with your ghost, brake before corners instead of in them, and stay off the grass.
Can I make my own tracks?
Yes. Open the Track editor, place pieces, add a start and a finish, then share the link. Anyone with the link can race your track.
How do I challenge a friend?
Sign in, finish a race on one of the 36 tracks and press "Challenge a friend". Your friend gets a link that loads your ghost, so they race against your exact run.
Does it work with a controller?
Yes. Use the right trigger to drive, the left trigger to brake and Y to restart.
