More Race Car Coloring Pages with Go-Karts, Rally Cars and Dragsters
These 20 new sheets go beyond the classic racetrack, with go-karts on the starting grid, a rally car sliding through forest mud, a desert buggy jumping a dune and two dragsters launching side by side. You will also find Formula cars racing in the rain and under floodlights, close-ups of the cockpit and front wheel, and garage scenes with a mechanic and racing gear. Each sheet prints as a PDF in A4 format.
A low sports race car seen from the front three-quarter view, with a big rear wing, side mirrors and spoked wheels. It sits on the track beside a tall pole with a wavy checkered flag, and a checkered strip runs across the foreground. The flag’s grid squares are large and open, so they suit bold marker work, while the car has finer lines around the grille and wheels.
An open-wheel formula car seen from the front left, parked in front of a giant eight-blade wind tunnel fan. Curved airflow lines sweep past the cockpit, and the car has a wide front wing and a tall rear wing. The fan’s wedge-shaped blades and ring segments are large and open, while the suspension arms and wing flaps are finer work.
A truck-mounted crane with a telescoping boom lifts an open-wheel formula car by two straps hanging from a spreader beam. The truck stands on two outrigger legs over a grassy strip. The cab’s grille and mirrors and the car’s wings are fine work, while the long boom segments are plain and open.
Four helmeted drivers sit in go-karts, staggered in two rows on marked grid boxes and seen from the front. Behind them a curving track is edged with a wall of stacked tires and a striped curb beside a grass patch. The big helmets, suits and kart bodies are open shapes, but the engines and steering parts are small and fiddly.
A closed-roof GT race car sits parked in a workshop, shown from the front left with hood vents, a honeycomb grille and a big rear wing. Beside it stand two stacks of four tires and a rolling tool cart holding wrenches, sockets and a cordless impact driver. The mesh grille, wheel spokes and tools are small, fine work.
Seen from behind, an open-wheel formula car drives down a long straight toward the horizon, with two dark exhaust pipes, a wide rear wing with a round emblem, and a driver’s helmet under the roll hoop. Grandstands with rows of seats flank the track, and striped curbs run along both edges. The seat rows and diffuser fins are fine detail, while the huge tires and the wing are big open areas.
Six open-wheel formula cars wait in three rows of two on their marked grid boxes, seen from behind. Above them hangs a gantry with five empty round start lights, and a marshal at each side waves a checkered flag in front of grandstands and green hills. The crowd and fences are dense, fine detail, while the cars’ big tires and rear wings are easy to fill.
A smiling child driver in a full-face helmet steers a go-kart through a curve, seen from the front left. Two orange traffic cones, a stack of tires and a wall of tires lining the track sit in front of bushy trees. The bold, open shapes of the helmet and big wheels suit younger colorers.
A rally car with a rear spoiler, a roof air scoop and four round driving lights on the bumper slides around a bend on a dirt track, with a helmeted driver visible through the windshield. Mud splatters off the wheels, and a puddle, scattered stones and tall spruce trees fill the scene. The fine mud spray and tire tracks are detailed, while the car body and the large puddle are open areas.
A low-angle close-up of a formula car’s front tire on the track edge. The slick tire has curved dash grooves, and the eight-spoke rim shows a center nut, a drilled brake disc and a caliper. Behind it sit a helmeted driver, a rear wing, a small cloud and a fence, with pebbles in the foreground. The large tire and rim are wide open areas, while the drilled brake disc is the finest detail.
A smiling mechanic in a cap and overalls holds up the open hood of a sports car and wipes his hand on a rag. Under the hood you can see the engine block, a battery, a coolant tank and two thick hoses, and a rolling tool chest stands at the left. The hood’s large panels are open areas, while the engine parts are the fine detail.
Night race scene: a formula car with a helmeted driver leans into a curve past a striped curb, with sparks flying from the rear wheel. Two floodlight towers, a cratered full moon, five stars, bushes and spruce trees fill the background behind a barrier wall. The car is a large, fairly detailed area, while the sky and the track are open.
A helmeted driver steers a formula car along a wet track, with a big spray of water fanning out behind the rear wheel. Slanting rain falls from two puffy clouds, dripping guardrails curve alongside the road, and puddles with wavy reflections cover the foreground.
A full-face helmet with a raised visor, a pair of gloves, a water bottle and a folded striped race suit sit on a wooden bench, with a pair of strapped boots underneath. Behind them, a formula car stands in the garage next to a stack of three tires and a rolling tool chest. The stripes on the suit and the helmet’s large smooth shell are easy to color in two or three bold shades.
Seen from behind the driver’s helmet, two gloved hands hold a button-covered steering wheel while the nose of the car points into a curve. A roofed grandstand with rows of seats, a striped curb and a line of bushes sit beside the track. The tall seat rows are fine, dense detail, but the road and the sky are wide open areas.
Five open-wheel formula cars race in a pack around the banked curve of an oval speedway, the nearest one filling the foreground with its front wing and big tires. A crowded grandstand, three floodlight towers, curved fence posts and three puffy clouds frame the track. The packed crowd of round heads is dense, fine work, while the asphalt is easy and open.
A formula car with a driver in a full-face helmet drives toward the viewer on an S-shaped mountain road lined with guardrails and hay bales. Pine trees and snowy peaks fill the background, and three spectators wave from a wooden fence on a rocky ledge. The pines and rock faces are fine, detailed work, while the road is a wide, open area.
Two top-fuel dragsters leave the line side by side, each with a tall rear wing, a helmeted driver and a cloud of tire smoke behind the huge rear slicks. The starting light tree with two columns of six lights stands between them, and a grandstand and floodlight rise at the track edge. The big smoke clouds are easy to color, while the grandstand seats take finer work.
A desert rally buggy with a roll cage, rear wing and spare tire on the roof leaps off a sand dune, all four knobby wheels in the air. Dust puffs, tire tracks, a tall saguaro cactus and distant mountains fill the scene. The chunky tire treads take patient work, while the dunes are wide and open.
A head-on view of an open-wheel formula car with a helmeted driver behind the halo bar, a wide front wing with end plates and a tall rear wing behind. Two side mirrors, big front tires and trackside barriers with puffy trees frame the road. The large, clean shapes make the nose and tires easy to color, while the suspension arms need a steady hand.
