Description

This is the racing sim that >I< think we need.

The physics are as realistic as those in X-Plane, with engine power, tire cohesion, and aerodynamic drag and downforce all accurately modeled.

The tracks are the most fantastic things I could dream up... tracks that... COULD exist.

Now, with 500+ horsepower supercars and realistic physics, you can tackle those tracks that only exist in our imagination, but COULD be built in reality if we ever dared...

And, with in iPhone 6+ and a cheap Google Cardboard headset, you can do the whole thing in 3-D VR... which is really quite amazing. The world looks HUGE in there!

Version 1.19

New physics:
DRAFTING! Based on research papers on drafting to reduce drag, we now have lower drag behind other cars... time to slingshot!
Now here is where things gets interesting: Drafting also reduces the drag of the car in FRONT as long as the cars are very close, so you can also get a push by having someone tailgating you, as you ride their bow wave! Drag reduction can be up to 30% by drafting the guy in front, and up to 40% by riding the bow wave of the guy behind you... but the cars must be VERY close for this bow wave effect to happen! Can you use this drag reduction to get faster lap times?

Physics-tweak:
Car moments of inertia are a bit refined to be a bit more accurate... this reduces tumble rates after accidents as well.

Bug-fix:
Post-race on-screen score now shows the score you just got on that lap, not your current BEST score!
This lets you see if you just set a personal record the moment you cross the line.
BEST score remains displayed on the mission cards as always.

Excellent sim

This is a sim, not a racing game and has very good physics compared to others

A modern day stunt car racer!

At last an iOS racer with interesting physics and controls, instead of the endless dumbed down arcade racer type experiences (I'd even include real racing in that).

It's not necessarily realistic, but that doesn't matter as the controls have depth to them, the perfect level for an iOS game. As someone who's into sim racing it's a really nice surprise. You have to learn breaking points (assisted by the amusing Austin), and you can oversteer the car, yet it’s forgiving enough for you to recover it into a slide. It’s awesome fun.

The pricing system is a bit odd, and a bit steep for some cars, but you can get an enormous amount out of the game just from purchasing the Tiger Shark. Oh, and it has a level editor!

PLEASE FIX BRAND NEW UPDATE

F1-AUTO SELECT BUTTON DOESNT WORK, I CANT GO INTO MANUAL CONTROL ANYMORE, PLEASE FIX ASAP
