Description

This is the racing sim that >I< think we need.

The physics are as realistic as those in X-Plane, with engine power, tire cohesion, and aerodynamic drag and downforce all accurately modeled.

The tracks are the most fantastic things I could dream up... tracks that... COULD exist.

Now, with 500+ horsepower supercars and realistic physics, you can tackle those tracks that only exist in our imagination, but COULD be built in reality if we ever dared...

And, with in iPhone 6+ and a cheap Google Cardboard headset, you can do the whole thing in 3-D VR... which is really quite amazing. The world looks HUGE in there!

Version 1.19

New physics:
DRAFTING! Based on research papers on drafting to reduce drag, we now have lower drag behind other cars... time to slingshot!
Now here is where things gets interesting: Drafting also reduces the drag of the car in FRONT as long as the cars are very close, so you can also get a push by having someone tailgating you, as you ride their bow wave! Drag reduction can be up to 30% by drafting the guy in front, and up to 40% by riding the bow wave of the guy behind you... but the cars must be VERY close for this bow wave effect to happen! Can you use this drag reduction to get faster lap times?

Physics-tweak:
Car moments of inertia are a bit refined to be a bit more accurate... this reduces tumble rates after accidents as well.

Bug-fix:
Post-race on-screen score now shows the score you just got on that lap, not your current BEST score!
This lets you see if you just set a personal record the moment you cross the line.
BEST score remains displayed on the mission cards as always.

Difficult but rewarding racing game

This racing simulation is unforgiving but that's why it's just that good. The camera system could use some more thought, the circle view should be a looser chase view (à la Real Racing 3) and then maybe chase could go away. (I understand these view modes are more useful in replays and HUD should really be used for racing). Chase and circle view should have an odometer at least. The car models need a lot of work they are way too narrow, tall and high off the ground. The track editor is simple and powerful, the procedural terrains are perfect, can't wait for a city mode (we can see the x-plane 10 terrain tech at work I think). Hopefully you will read this Austin; we need this game on Mac, the stradale-io setup works but AirServer broadcasts the screen in vertical on the mac, it's impossible to play. Truthfully you haven't much in the way os specific ui so please give us a binary for OS X. Thanks for all the software!

One thing..

The loading ! Agh!! Why is it so long ? Just keep the map loaded and restart the car from the beginning:o can't you:/ ?

Not on iphone 4s 😞

I want to play this game so badly! I was willing to buy it just from seeing the screenshots, but It looks like its for iphone 6 only.😔
the gas & brake pedals are outside the screen...
