There will be a Deluxe version of Racecraft: if you bought the Deluxe version (or the DLC) of Victory, you will receive the Deluxe version of Racecraft for free.
Stopping the development of Victory and moving our development team to Racecraft was not a simple decision for us. Please check out the articles about Victory to Racecraft transition on Racecraft’s dev blog: written by our CEO, they simply gives you an inside view of what happened and why we decided this, without filters:
“From Victory to Racecraft: Part 1”

Before the actual launch on Steam Early Access we’ll need to test the game on a short closed beta: you can leave your email or one-click subscribe with Facebook on Racecraft’s dev blog to be invited to that Closed Beta:

As always, thanks for your support and patience guys!

Victory Dev Leaks 18: RaceCraft is coming
We are facing one of the major challenges of racing games: being able to create unlimited race tracks having both a proper functionality and a great visual impact.
Check out a "leaked" video of our engine:
http://youtu.be/WWU6Oy0MxVY
Our R&D team is working on a procedural algorithm that randomly creates straight lines, chicanes, sharp turns, Esses, hairpins, etc. opening the way to structured weekly events based on always different tracks where players handle tires consumption, pit stops, weather conditions and limited car damages.
We called this new procedural track generation engine "RaceCraft" and we'll release it as a free demo for Victory: The Age of Racing in the coming weeks.
Given an initial seed and custom parameters, RaceCraft creates race tracks designed for sim and mid-sim players, with dynamic placement of all the objects needed on the track (starting grid, pit lane, fences, gaps, aprons, curbs, buildings, billboards, etc...).
In the current version you're already able to generate different seeds and then modify the tracks created on that seed by modifying various parameters.
We're now finishing our work on our updated graphic engine (shaders, etc) and creating lots of more objects to be placed on the procedural tracks created by RaceCraft.
The final engine will support race track themes and more parameters to play with to create your ideal racetrack.
Victory: The Age of Racing is now available on Steam:
