The demo has been updated to v0.30.1. This brings a much-requested change to map throttle/brake inputs to the W/S keys for keyboard players, as well as improvements to the spectate mode UX. It also makes a number of changes to the positioning system and AI behavior, intended to create more natural field spreads (and less running 4 or even 5 wide into turn 1). Changes · Keyboard controls now sup…
I'll be honest, up to this point the circuits have looked like run-down karting tracks. This can have its own charm, but doesn't fit with the fantasy that Throttle Trace is putting forward. You are a Vroomula 1 driver, one of the best in the world! The circuits on the calendar need to look the part. And so, my aim for the week was to make each track start to feel like it was designed to host th…

You're an angel.) Now you can select "Replay" during or afte…

Can you prove your racing mettle and secure a contract for next year? · Time Attack: Find the limit and claim your spot on the leaderboards across 3 Tracks · Database Editor : Want to race with a grid of 60 car…
