Each city/location will consist of three tracks, and new cars will also be available as downloadable updates or as part of the next release. All of the MINI vehicles will eventually be available, including vintage MINI's and some hotted up MINI's like the GP and JCW.

There are two game modes: Arcade Mode will feature single races on any of the unlocked tracks, and Championship Mode will require players to compete through a series of tracks in Grand Prix style racing. Both game modes will be playable as single player or multiplayer experiences.

]]> 30 Aug 2007 10:35:14 TORCS (an acronym for The Open Racing Car Simulator) is a 3D racing cars simulator using OpenGL. The goal is to have programmed robots drivers racing against each others. You can also drive yourself with either a wheel or keyboard or mouse.

This concept is directly inspired from RARS.

]]> 06 Feb 2007 03:06:51 RARS is the Robot Auto Racing Simulation, a competition for programmers and an on-going challenge for practicioners of Artificial Intelligence and real-time adaptive optimal control. It consists of a simulation of the physics of cars racing on a track, a graphic display of the race, and a separate control program (robot "driver") for each car. All RARS software and activities are free and open to the public. Currently only Windows and Unix versions are actively supported, but some old DOS and OS/2 code exists and it should be possible to get it back to work.

]]> 05 Aug 2007 01:21:05 Paradox is an action based racer, putting more emphasis on the thrilling events and obstacles you will encounter. This game will feel more like a thrill ride than a straight racing game. Each level will take place in a different time period and event. One level you may be racing in the Jurassic period with a t-rex attacking you, the next level may be cruising on a highway through space in the future.
The levels are not lap based as many other racers are. Instead, the levels are one long track you will travel through to find the time rifs.
This game is currently in production and will be realeased sometime within late 2007 to early 2008. This is the first game from the indie game company Vision Lizard.

]]> 18 Apr 2007 09:07:00 This is the name of the game I plan to make soon. The game is basically Formula 1, but you're racing giant fruit.

I am going to try and model the vehicles in a fashion that makes it look like someone has just grabbed a fruit, and pushed a large rocket into the back of it. There will be a selection of different vehicles from the Banana Boat (See Gallery) to the Pineapple Car. I may also add an AppleChopper (Helicopter) and a Watermelon Hovercraft (I need a catchy name). The Fruitjuice (See Gallery) will provide a speed boost to overtake your competition.

I think that in order for me to sell this, it will have to be done VERY well, which is why I will be joint-working on this with good friend Alex Moffat. Thats about all I have on the game right now, I don't want to spoil the surprises, after all!

The game is one part of a multimedia experiment performed by LucasArts back in the mid-90s (the other components being a book and a comic, covering different aspects of the same story). Besides the interesting project background, the gameplay itself is uncommon -- the game at times being an air/space combat sim, a third-person shooter, racing game, or a rail shooter.

]]> 22 Sep 2006 04:49:49 Gran Turismo 2 (commonly abbreviated to GT2) is a racing game for the Sony PlayStation. Gran Turismo 2 was developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 1999. The games serves as a sequel to Gran Turismo. It was well-received publicly and critically, selling 8.5 million copies worldwide and scoring an average of 93% in Metacritic's aggregate.

Gran Turismo 2 is fundamentally based on the racing game genre. The player must maneuver an automobile to compete against artificially intelligent drivers on various race tracks. The game uses two different modes: arcade and simulation. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose the courses and vehicles they wish to use. However, the simulation mode requires the player to earn driver's licenses, pay for vehicles, and earn trophies in order to unlock new courses. Gran Turismo 2 features nearly 650 automobiles and 27 racing tracks.

Unlike its predecessor, the player can race events separately, instead of a tournament with multiple races. The player no longer needs to "qualify" for each race entered.

Gran Turismo was well-received critically, achieving many positive reviews. GameSpot rated it 8.5 out of 10, recommending it to any gamer, car enthusiast or not.

]]> 18 Dec 2006 04:23:54 LFS S2 is a serious racing simulator. No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving. It is therefore highly recommended to play the sim with a wheel, because even though you can use keyboard and/or mouse, a wheel is what you use in a real car, so a wheel should be used in a serious racing simulator. Especially when going online, where fast reactions are required.

Also unique to FlatOut, anything you destroy or alter stays a part of the race lap after lap, increasing the carnage to unprecedented levels!

As the piston-pumping heart of the game, the World Challenge has players competing through a series of international championship tiers, each packed with skill tests, specialised events and championships that span different racing styles.

Each World Challenge tier is designed to enhance and expand your race driving skills and experience. First, a series of tests and events will build your racing prowess in areas such as damage control, using the racing line, manoeuvring, timely pit stops and braking accuracy. Now you’re ready for the main event: the tier’s specialist Championship season with a series of closely-fought multiple car races on different circuits. Come first overall in the championship and you’ll move up to compete in the next tier of the World Challenge.

Throughout TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge, you’ll be racing the world as each tier has its own international location and theme: from the British GP, to the heavyweight touring cars of Australia’s V8 Supercars and Germany’s DTM events, through to American Race series across the USA and then to a global Masters championship tier where you’ll compete against the best of the best.

Of course, with all this competitive racing, TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge features spectacular collisions thanks to its realistic damage system; sparks fly when you bottom out, smoke billows from tyres, doors flap, windscreens shatter, wings get ripped off, spoilers break and fly from the car and bodywork realistically deforms with every impact.

In addition to the World Challenge, TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge comes loaded with additional play modes including Free Race and Time Trial. There’s also wireless WLAN multiplayer action play for up to a staggering 12 players simultaneously and further multiplayer action via Game Share, enabling up to four players to enjoy fantastic WLAN racing from just one UMD.

]]> 30 Mar 2007 05:42:51 Put prestige, pink slips and cold hard cash on the line. The finish line! Just make sure you get there first.

The night is yours, the streets are yours and that sucker's ride is going to be yours too, just as soon as the pedals drop and this show hits the road, literally. Just strap in, hold on and don't swallow your tongue, because there's no first and second place here, only winners and losers. Tracks on city streets are lit up with turns indicated by large glowing arrows. Avoid parked cars and other obstacles. Watch out, the hand brake is quite touchy and takes some getting used to, try using regular braking to slow your speed and avoid spinning out around corners. Good luck!

Car damage WILL affect your car's performance. The"R" key will repair all damage to your vehicle, place your car on its wheels and back on the road. If you accidentally flip your car, hit 'R' to put it back on its tires. It does take a few seconds for your car to be reset.
