  • time trial with online leaderboards for all-time records and weekly challenges
  • 10 tracks across 5 locations
  • pit stops: tyre compounds with different speeds and durability
  • dynamic weather: plan ahead and react during the race, track wetness changes based on weather and effects tyre grip


So what's next? The key items on the roadmap are career mode, audio update, performance optimization, Steam Workshop support to help with mod sharing and a steady stream of new tracks. Lots of other QoL-improvements and features like DRS are also in the plans. Join the Discord channel to voice your opinion on all the possible features that could be added to the game!
