Global Race has a free playable demo game for the Nokia E90, they have nice widescreen images of their game here. It happens to run on other phones too! I checked it out on the N95. We don't have the wide screen view but we do have the 3D graphics controller and support for the needed OpenGL ES. Yahoo! (No ad intended).
 

The gameplay is smooth and solid on the N95. Car control is very nice but not too easy. Using the powerups and powerdowns are very important in this respect. Sound and music levels are freely configurable. Lacking is the possibility to change the game play to landscape. I hope this will be updated for the official release for the N95 and other N-series phones.

The free version has 5 tracks and 3 cars and
can store 3 profiles, each for a different user.
There are two game modes: single player, multi-player. There is also something called Global Race.

The single player mode has 3 gametypes: Arcade, Championship and Time attack. The types are self-explainable for anyone who ever played a race game. 

The multiplayer mode allows the player to host or join a game over bluetooth. I could not test this. I lack friends with  N95's :-(

Global Race allows for the upload of your high scores and your ranking. It also allows for the download of the nighttime versions of the daytime tracks.

The game can be freely downloaded from the Nokia website here. There is no reason why it should not work on the N93(i) too. Share and enjoy!
