Speeding down bustling city streets is not the only joy to be found in CarX Street. This open-world car simulation game has plenty of missions to run and vehicles to tune up. Here are five ways to find your brand of thrill behind the wheels.

For a precise handle on your vehicle, toggle on the accelerometer mode and use your iPhone or iPad as a steering wheel. The motion-led directional control will free up your digits to accelerate, brake and hit the nitro as you zip through traffic.

Off the beaten track, you’ll be able to work on your donuts and slalom in CarX Street’s tucked-away spots. Think an empty parking lot, an abandoned trailer or even a slippery, muddy road in the suburbs.

Just like in real life, you can customise cars from paint colour down to how stiff you want your suspension springs. Not sure what your preferences are yet? Start with pre-tuned autos from the showroom and go from there.

Once you’re ready to put your skills – and mods – to the test, toggle on street.net in the upper left corner to find online players you can battle with. VS icons on the map indicate starting points of available races and tapping them will help you map out a route to the location or Fast Travel there instantly.

That galvanic Japanese coupe from the ’90s has staggered wheels that are perfect for drifting, but some missions might require more horsepower or a heftier build. Take your time browsing through the showroom and add to your collection based on your needs.
