About Drive Mad
Drive Mad is an exhilarating physics-based driving game that tests your vehicle control skills through increasingly challenging obstacle courses. Take control of various vehicles including cars, trucks, and off-road vehicles, each with unique handling characteristics and physics properties. Navigate through treacherous terrain featuring steep ramps, narrow bridges, rotating platforms, moving obstacles, and gravity-defying loops that will push your driving abilities to the limit. The game features realistic physics simulation where vehicle weight, suspension, and momentum all play crucial roles in successfully completing each course. As you progress through over 50 challenging levels, you'll encounter new obstacles and terrain types including ice surfaces that reduce traction, mud that slows you down, and explosive barrels that can send you flying. Each vehicle handles differently - lightweight cars are faster but less stable, while heavier trucks are slower but more resistant to flips. The game rewards careful planning and precise control, as one wrong move can send your vehicle tumbling or crashing, forcing you to restart the level. With stunning 3D graphics, smooth vehicle physics, and progressively difficult courses that keep you engaged, Drive Mad offers a thrilling driving experience that will challenge even the most skilled players.
How to Play
Use arrow keys or WASD keys to control your vehicle - up arrow or W to accelerate, down arrow or S to brake and reverse, left/right arrows or A/D to steer. The physics system responds realistically to your inputs, so gentle movements are often better than aggressive steering. Balance your vehicle carefully by adjusting your speed and steering angle, especially when navigating ramps, loops, and narrow platforms. Too much speed on a ramp can cause you to overshoot, while too little speed might not give you enough momentum to clear gaps. Navigate through challenging terrain including steep inclines, rotating platforms, moving obstacles, and gravity-defying loops. Watch for environmental hazards like ice patches that reduce traction, mud that slows your vehicle, and explosive barrels that can launch you off course. Complete levels by reaching the finish line without crashing or falling off the course. Each successful completion unlocks new vehicles with different characteristics and new courses with increased difficulty. Master the physics of each vehicle type - learn how each one handles differently and adapt your driving style accordingly.
Why players love Drive Mad
The trucks actually feel heavy. Hit a ramp wrong and you're flipping—no mercy. Ice and mud change how you throttle. Fifty levels means you're always one more try away from that clean run.
Best for
Anyone who likes trial-and-error driving and satisfying physics. Patience pays.
Key highlights
- •Weight and momentum feel real—each vehicle different
- •Ice and mud aren't just looks; they change how you drive
- •Loops and narrow bridges that punish bad speed
- •Over 50 levels so the challenge doesn't run out
Pro tip
On loops, ease off the gas at the top. Full throttle often sends you flying past the exit.

Tips for Success
Tip 1
Control your speed carefully - slower is often better for maintaining control on difficult terrain
Tip 2
Balance your vehicle to avoid flips by adjusting speed and steering angle, especially on ramps and loops
Tip 3
Learn the physics of each vehicle type - practice with different vehicles to understand their unique characteristics
Tip 4
Practice on easier levels first to build fundamental driving skills before attempting harder courses
Tip 5
Use momentum to your advantage - build up speed on straight sections to clear gaps and obstacles
Tip 6
Be patient and plan your route - study the course layout before attempting difficult sections
Tip 7
Master the art of controlled acceleration - gentle inputs prevent overcorrection and loss of control
Tip 8
Watch for environmental cues like ice patches and mud - adjust your driving style accordingly
Tip 9
Use the brake strategically - sometimes slowing down before a difficult section is better than rushing through
Tip 10
Learn from your crashes - analyze what went wrong and adjust your approach for the next attempt
Tip 11
Practice precise steering - small adjustments are often more effective than large steering movements
Tip 12
Take advantage of checkpoints - don't be afraid to restart from checkpoints if you make a mistake
