You will now find a brand new sparkly track to have fun with on Steam. The new track is called Atlas Torres. This is Early Access so you can expect there to be a few kinks, but on the whole it is a very good example of the direction we are taking.
You might also notice some improvements in craft handling and physics.
As you know, we are working towards initiating another Time Trial Competition shortly (6th of April) so we are releasing the track 1 week before we kick off the competition to identify and iron out any issues that might crop up.
The Tunnel concept is experimental at the moment and will be subject to tweaks. Atlas Torres marks a new benchmark in terms of quality and should whet your appetite leading up to the next major update at the end of April. For now though, feel free to tear up the slipway and get some practice in before the main event!

A teaser video we made for the game.. Enjoy!
hi everybody
As some of you might have already seen on our FaceBook page we've just released a teaser video for Formula Fusion on YouTube in advance of the Steam E.A build update on 30th March.
Later next week we'll put out some more clips of the new track. Meanwhile enjoy and please visit the Wolfbeats page - this track rocks and gives me goosebumps in places (and I must have listened to it over 100 times)
To mark the lead-up to the next update, we will be posting production shots every day until release next Wednesday, the 30th of March.
The release of the next update will also mark the start of another time trial competition, for the new track. Same rules apply: the top 3 people will be awarded goodies and a chance to win one of those AMAZING trophies, for the 3 fastest laps during time trial in the base FF4000 craft.
The next track to be released will be ATLAS TORRES. Atlas Torres represent the most cutting edge building design found anywhere in the world; they have been built to represent hope in a desperate and corrupt world – reaching to the heavens high above the polluted and smog cloaked city below. When they are finally finished they will represent the highest man-made buildings in the world.
The buildings themselves are a vertical construction nest of scaffolding and support struts. The race track is supported using a clever network of cantilever connections and suspension supports. The track – still under construction – has been passed as usable by the city in a desperate attempt to meet the pressures of a new racing calendar.
Enjoy!
ps: before anyone says anything we realise this should have gone out at the same time as our Facebook page post.
