Compete in the world championship along 20 circuits. ► RACE OPTIONS Select your strategy for each race. You can select the type of tire you want to mount at the start of each race and when performing the PitStop (Super soft, soft, medium, hard, Intermediate and Extreme rain) Each tire has particular characteristics in terms of grip, maximum speed and wear. ► CONFIGURE YOUR CAR Full configuration of car settings. Engine power adjustments, transmission adjustments, aerodynamics, and suspension adjustments. These adjustments affect the behavior of the vehicle. Both in acceleration at top speed and in tire wear. Try all kinds of settings to find the most suitable for each race. ► CAR IMPROVEMENTS Earn credits by racing in the championship or sprint races to make up to 50 upgrades on each of the cars and increase your race performance. ► CHANGES IN THE WEATHER The weather will change during the race and we will have to adapt the strategy to the circumstances that occur during the race. From sunny weather to heavy rain. ► QUALIFYING RACE We will be able to run the qualifying race before the championship races to establish our place on the starting grid. We can also run without qualifying. In this case our position will be random. ►TRAINING RACE We will have the option of training in each circuit of the championship. Where you can try different configurations in our car. At the end we will have a table of results where we can compare the results of each lap and configuration. ► QUICK RACE MODE Apart from the championship. In this mode we can race on the desired circuit and quickly get credits to use them to make improvements to the cars or acquire new cars.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shell Racing at none against Fx Racer's 7. Shell Racing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Fx Racer's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fx Racer sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Shell Racing asks for nothing beyond the download.
Shell Racing holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 196 and 556 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Fx Racer's written reviews are positive against 56% of Shell Racing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fx Racer ships an update monthly, Shell Racing every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
