Creating a car racing game involves more complexity compared to a simple guessing game. Below, I'll outline a basic version of a text-based car racing game in Python. This will involve creating a race track, simulating movement of cars, and handling user input for controlling the game. Note that a graphical version of this game would require additional libraries such as Pygame or Turtle for visual elements.

### Game Description:
In this text-based car racing game:
1. You'll have a race track represented as a line.
2. Two cars will move forward each turn, and you'll control one of them.
3. Your goal is to move your car faster than the opponent to win the race.

### Example Code:
```python
import random
import time

def race_game():
    track_length = 20
    player_position = 0
    opponent_position = 0
    
    print("Welcome to the Car Racing Game!")
    print("Your car: |->")
    print("Opponent's car: |->")
    
    while player_position < track_length and opponent_position < track_length:
        print("\n" + "-" * track_length)
        
        # Display player's and opponent's positions
        print(" " * player_position + "|->")
        print(" " * opponent_position + "|->")
        
        print("-" * track_length)
        
        # Player's move
        player_move = input("Press Enter to move your car forward: ")
        player_position += random.randint(1, 3)  # Player moves randomly 1 to 3 units forward
        
        # Opponent's move
        opponent_position += random.randint(1, 3)  # Opponent moves randomly 1 to 3 units forward
        
        # Delay for better visualization
        time.sleep(1)
        
        # Clear screen (for better visualization in console)
        print("\n" * 50)
    
    # Determine the winner
    if player_position >= track_length and opponent_position >= track_length:
        print("It's a tie!")
    elif player_position >= track_length:
        print("Congratulations! You won!")
    else:
        print("You lost. Better luck next time!")

# Run the game function
race_game()
```

### Explanation:
- **`race_game()` Function**:
  - Initializes the game by setting up the track length (`track_length`) and starting positions of the player (`player_position`) and opponent (`opponent_position`).
  - Enters a `while` loop that continues until either the player or opponent reaches the end of the track (`track_length`).
  - Inside the loop, it displays the current positions of both cars using ASCII characters (`|->`).
  - Prompts the player to press Enter to move their car forward a random distance (1 to 3 units).
  - Simulates the opponent's movement by also moving their car forward a random distance (1 to 3 units).
  - Uses `time.sleep(1)` to introduce a delay for better visualization in the console.
  - Clears the screen (`print("\n" * 50)`) to simulate animation and update the positions in the console.

### Usage:
1. When you run the program, it will display a welcome message and start the race game.
2. You control one car (`|->`) and the opponent controls the other (`|->`).
3. Press Enter to move your car forward randomly by 1 to 3 units.
4. The opponent's car also moves forward randomly.
5. The game continues until either you or the opponent reaches the end of the track (`track_length`).
6. The winner is determined based on who reaches the end of the track first.

### Possible Enhancements:
- Implement a scoring system based on the time taken to reach the end of the track.
- Add more cars or obstacles on the track.
- Create a graphical version using Pygame or Turtle for a more interactive experience.
- Allow for multiplayer by adding more players and controls.

This example provides a basic framework for a text-based car racing game in Python. You can expand and modify it according to your preferences to create a more complex game with additional features and enhancements.
