A downloadable game for Windows

Race over 3-lap rounds against your friends and bots in this fun physics-based arcade game.

Practice the track and post your best time screenshots in the comments section. It's all in your hands, with zero-lag and accurate collisions thanks to super twitchy predict/rollback at 60 ticks per second. 

You can select between a few different car models, with different physics behaviors.


Vehicle Physics is my favorite programming subject since I started developing games in 2005.

When working on this game, I was playing a lot of Wreckfest 2 and also Circuit Superstars (both games I really enjoy), and I tried to come up with an arcade physics feeling that was somehow in between these two. This is still a work in progress, but I personally think the physics feel is very close to my original intention already.Here is a breakdown of the available cars:

Classic Sedan:

- rear wheel drive
- faster acceleration, but can oversteer


Hatchback:

- front wheel drive
- well balanced, but slower final speed


Old Muscle:

- rear wheel drive
- well balanced, but wider and slower acceleration


Station Wagon:

- rear wheel drive
- fastest final speed, but heavier with slower acceleration


Controls:

Steer: AD or Left/Right
Accel/Brake: WS or Up/Down (inverted when reverse is engaged)
Handbrake: Space
Switch Cars: F1/F2
Switch Camera: C
Unflip Car: F
Reset to Checkpoint: R

Also supports XBox and PS4/PS5 controllers (except car switch and flip/reset)

For those interested in game development, here is a screenshot of the Vehicle Settings I created for this, and each of these cars have their small variations of these:
