Kinda sad to see that mobile game are THIS huge now... but it it actually surprising that that's happening? There ARE good mobile games out there (A8 NOT being one of them) such as  Real Racing 1 (and 2 before EA broke it all with their bullshit "updates" to RR2), Monster Trucks Nitro, SlotZ Racers 1 and 2 (SlotZ Racer 2 I would actually consider to be the best racing game you can buy on the App Store), Reckless Racing 1, 2, and 3, Drift Mania 1 (2 and 3 were utterly terrible because they went into microtransaction grindy hell), Red Bull Kart Fighter (the original), Final Freeway 1 and 2, Reckless Getaway, and maybe a couple more games.

Assoluto Racing however might be your answer though, while it is still pretty grindy (get the X2 cash IAP, you must in order to make any reasonable progress through the game), it is by far one of the more generous Free to Pay games out there and quite fun to drive. (however premium-currency-only cars exist in that game, so beware) It's actually a fun game when you do get the cars you want though, like my 2016 Mazda MX5 in-game maxed out is a hoot to drive (about 200-something HP, less than 1000 kg) around any track in-game.
