The tiniest car racing game ever!  Also, one of the few games that 11 people can play on one iPad screen at the same time (are there others?  I can't think of many).  In this simple game, choose your race course, choose the color of car you want, then as soon as the starting signal sounds, everyone controls their car by using their colored "button" as a joystick or touchpad, trying to drive their car all the way around the track and be the first to cross the finish line.  Although the game is super simple, the fact that everyone has to have their finger on the screen (and be able to see the screen) all at the same time usually leads to a lot of laughter (or yelling, depending on your crowd). The iPhone version (smaller screen) is played by only 5 players.  There's no time limit and sometimes the correct "route" through the racetrack is unclear and there's often lots of crashing of cars, so this free little app will be best enjoyed by players who don't mind some good-natured chaos.  Also note: I just noticed that the icon has a guy with a cigarette in his mouth (hey, it's from Amsterdam).
