Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: OverDrive at none against Beat car racing's shown. OverDrive also leads on ratings volume (85 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Beat car racing's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
