Game summary

A game where you can race over the most infamous freeway in the Netherlands: the A2. In A2 Racer, you join a band of illegal streetracers whose only goal is to get from A to B as fast as possible. You must weave your way through the regular traffic on the A2, grabbing power-ups like fuel, money and time and making sure the police can't catch you. Be sure to be #1 in this game, for the rest are considered losers.

Play A2 Racer on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play A2 Racer on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

A2 Racer installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install A2 Racer like you would on any PC.
